Pard 007 and Schmidt and Bender

[oxfordshirestalker]

Hi all,
I know it’s not an ideal combination due to lack of parallax adjustment, but does anyone have first hand experience of using a Pard 007 with a Schmidt and Bender 8x56? Mainly for foxes out to about 180-200 yards.
thanks!

I don’t think it will work at all I am afraid. I haven’t tried a S&B 8x56 but I have tried other non parallax scopes and couldn’t get them to play ball.

No parallax, IR unfriendly lens coatings and too high base magnification - don't waste your money on any NV rear add-on if you want to keep using that scope for day use.

Cheers

Tried the 007 on a zenith, not the best image at all, pretty unusable, best bet is a hawke scope with variable mag and side parralax, got one on a PCP air rifle, there may be better suited scopes for the oo7, but the hawke works fine, for the cost of them get one with side parralax that suits the calibre, 007 is a handy piece of kit

I know its not a Pard but I’ve got a Starlite archer . I’ve tried it on loads of scopes
Hates top quality scopes and definitely needs parallax adjustment. I’ve got a Optisan 5x20 with parallax adjustment . Rated for a CF Cost me £250 . And it’s perfect.

As above, 007 won't play ball on my Meopta meostar R2, very frustrating but you will need parallax (focus) adjustment down to at least 30 yds. Ended up with a SF Hawke for the air rifle and a Sightron AO for the .243. 007 works great on both and Burris QD rings and bases means i can swap to my Meopta anytime for daytime work with no poi change.

Doesn’t work I’m afraid.

Works fine on my slightly older 3-12x50 without parralax. Think it's a S&B PM1 type.

oi might struggle with the 8x base mag though.

I swapped my Zeiss for a Minox with parallel adjustment and it works perfectly on that.
The Minox is a really good scope at the right price.

Late reply . But I’ve got the same set up as you and it’s amazing
