Pard 008LRF on .223

[Tony Morgan]

I've just applied for a variation for a .223 to sit between my .17HMR (small vermin) and .243 (deer), as I need a dedicated foxing rifle.

I already have a Pard 008 on the .17 and like it, but think I'd buy the LRF version this time to help with judgment of distance at night. Do others agree?

I'd like a rifle which comes with a Picatinny rail to accept the NV and also, as the Pard sits quite high, maybe a built-in comb raiser. A fairly light and compact rifle would suit my advancing years - any suggestions for the rifle? Thanks.

Tikka T3X Varmint comes with fitted rail and adjustable riser....it's not light, but it's not overly heavy either.

008 lives permanently on my .223 Tikka T3X lite, very happy with that combo.

Mines on a cz 527 with thumbhole stock no need fir a cheek riser it light and easy to use.

I had a pard on my tikka t3 in 223. Accounted for main a fox. You don’t need the varmint version, no benefit just weight. My tikka lite has the adjustable cheek riser and was perfect for the pard until………….…
I went thermal!!!!!

The Innomount rails are also excellent, albeit a ‘bit’ more expensive.
