New Pard NV007S
- Thread starter BryanDC
- Start date
Don't think they have reached the UK yet - at least not via Sportsman Gun Centre who are the sole importer/distributor of PARD products in the UK.
SGC estimate they will be available from 21 October
The 007 (a or S) are very different beasts when compared to a Yukon Sightline.
The 007 is a rear add-on that will provide an NV capability when attached to an existing day scope.
The Sightline is a dedicated NV scope and has virtually no daytime capability.
If you buy a Sightline then you've got a good NV rig, but nothing else.
If you buy a PARD and it works with your scope (or scopes) then you have full use of those rifle(s) for daytime work and also have decent NV capability.

I hadn't realised that they were not available in the UK yet.
We have had them here for a while now. One shop had an offer a few weeks back on the A model at around £235 to make sure they sold most of their old stock.
I know the sightline is a totally different beast but it would be put on for trips up to Sweden as and when required and probably wouldn't se much daytime use, if any.
And I didn't realise you were in Denmark! - my apologies.
Frankly, I don't think the 007S is worth £200+ more than the A model and if I was looking to buy a 007 at the moment, I would definitely go for the A model - especially at £235!!
The cheapest I've seen in the UK is around £300

Unfortunately it was only on offer at that price over a weekend and I missed it.
The A model is usually around 3000 kr (about the same or a little over UK price) and the S model can be bought for just under 4000kr. ( around £460 )

Pete is spot on, the 007 A is amazing value, and the extra money for the S , is for those who must have the latest toy.
The Sightline has one good feature, excellent low light (without IR) performance, but in true dark scenarios , is very fussy about what IR torch it uses, the on board one gets you to 100-150 yards max.
I spent a long time trying to get more range out of both Sightline and Digex units, using various torches, and the best one by far was a cheap nasty 940 nm thing off ebay that cost £25, and that got me to a tad over 200 yards.
Get a 007 A , and spend the difference on a good laser torch, you will then have a versatile 400+ yard system.

Interesting to read the comment about “old stock” sell off, as a UK dealer I have been told that the 007a model production will continue with the “S” being an addition to the range.
But then we did all find out that Pard were releasing a thermal spotter via a Facebook post….
Nothing surprises me when it comes to PARD

From my experience with the Pard NV007.Pro's cheap to buy, solid contruction handles wet weather, clips onto your current scope,buy extra mounting rings and then you can swap it between all your rifles and its small and compact.Con's..the deer here in N.Z. on public land. have since the influx of N.V and Thermal gear, become very light/shine shy.The Pard 007 line runs a 850 in-built I.R., watch most of the YouTube vids and notice how the animals, mainly big game animals, look directly at shooter when he activates his unit.This is because the IR's on the Pard and Pulsar Digisight emitt a glow from the IR hence why most pro's here are either using the covert 940 IR's or Thermal gear which doesn't emitt the visible glow.They are even looking directly at us a little now when we activate our Thermal because they pick up the shine.This has come about because of the increase in night hunting pressure on them..I love and respect deer so much they're fantastic at adaptation when we up our game by new techniques.Bottom line in my opnion is, Pard is a great entry level unit especially if your only going to be shooting mainly small critters or hunting a private block with little pressure from other hunters then one day you'll definitely upgrade to a better make.
The new 007S is available in two versions 850nm and 940nm. No difference in price between the two and they also come with a set of adapters or rings so that there is no need to buy extras for different sized scopes.

The 007 I have on my pcp air rifle is a100% cannot fault it on a hawke variable parallax scope, haven’t used it on anything else as it’s not compatible with scopes I use on the CF rifles
also use the Yukon 470 s again really good NV scope, out the other evening with 204 with the 470 s on top, to clarify in ideal conditions, the Yukon far exceeded my expectations with the onboard IR and with additional IR illumination it was a toss up between the Yukon or the pulsar 970 and I’m very happy with 470 S for the 204

Doesnt really make any sound business sense though does it ?
A model that basically does everything the S does at £200 cheaper ?
I reckon whoever told you that was either misinformed or wanting to unload 'old stock'
As I said right at the beginning , much to some peoples annoyance, the 30% price reduction on the A model only made sense, if a new model was imminent, to clear stocks, I was met with 'THERE IS NO NEW MODEL !'
Anyway , like you say , Pard do some strange things, so anythings possible, even unsound business decisions , like putting no ocular adjustment on the 019 .....
The S does offer a bit more than the A in some areas
45mm shorter than the old model. That could make a big difference to head position in use.
waterproof. the comparison video shows the new one being immersed in water whilst turned on for over a minute I believe
Side focus. I haven't tried either type but feel it could be easier
larger eye cup. Should make head position again a little easier
Improved IR either 850 or 940Nm
comes with adapters for scopes from 38 - 48mm so no extra cost to swap it between scopes.
silent operation buttons. again haven't tried either type so don't know if this was an issue.
Its about 1000kr ( £115 ) more expensive than the old one but I'm tempted by the new one.

Because of the position of the battery housing, there is a distinct possibility that it will foul the bolt on some right handed rifles.
CZs would be the most likely candidate.

Whilst much of its spec is yet to be seen here in the UK , so many of these answers may well inaccurate .
Its ironic that (maybe) theyve put a stonger torch back on the S.
Again , if they are really going to run them side by side, which I highly doubt, I cant see many going for the S model.
People will weigh up what that extra £200 is buying them, and purchase accordingly.
However , if thats all thats available , then there wont be a choice but to get the S ?
I believe the actual saving is more like 25 mm , which is good.
Another good point.
It was never an issue in the old one, as its only seldom used.
Really depends on the screen size, never really an issue.
The 'old' 007 had a great IR , it was dumbed down to satisfy a minority of hysterical idiots for their own personal reasons.

Later models came with shims anyway.
The buttons were never noisy.
£200 more than the 'reduced' A model here.

On paper the overall length difference is 4 mm , maybe a shorter eyecup , or a different focussing length for the lens might shave off a bit more, I reckoned 25mm , I think Bruce reckoned 16 mm .
Whatever , its definitely not 45 mm , so its a case of PARD fake news/trickery Im afraid.

I think the confusion comes from the fact that there is a reduction in the length of both the body of the 007S and the scope adaptor
I think the total reduction in overall length is 45mm, but the reduction in the length of the body is quite a bit less than that.
How much easier it is to shoulder the rifle with 007S as compared to the 007A would rather depend on how far onto the ocular bell the adaptor is fitted

I think I am going to have to go down to one of the local places and have a look at both of them side by side with a scope. It isn't of course the overall length we are talking about. its the difference in effective mounted length. I wont get a chance for a couple of weeks but I think I will check it out.

Exactly , but Im struggling to see how they can lose 40 mm on the focus.
The trick with the 007S is that they use a mirror mounted at 45 degrees so the light from the scope reflects off it and up into the sensor which is now mounted vertically near the top of the body (that's why the focus control is now on the side of the body)
They can make the adaptor shorter because the distance between the ocular and the PARD lens is the same in both models
By mounting the sensor vertically, they can also make the body shorter.
Using a mirror is nothing new - the WDV series of rear add-ons from the Night Vision store have been made like this for years.
