4535jacks Posted November 30, 2019 Report Share Posted November 30, 2019 I am interested in buying a Pard007 but my only AO scope is a Hawke Vantage 6-24x50 IR SF which is on a .17HMR. Is this scope too high mag and should I not bother with the Pard007 or have people found the Pard007 to work well at x6 on the scope.

oldypigeonpopper Posted November 30, 2019 Report Share Posted November 30, 2019 hello, i have the same scope that was recommended for a 007 but keep a low magnification Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4535jacks Posted November 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2019 And is the Pard007 gathering enough light at 6x to shoot out to about 100m? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but you need a good IR torch to get the best out of it. 100m is fine with the onboard IR but I fitted an IR torch (Solaris SRX) torch from the start. This vastly improves the quality.

bornfree Posted November 30, 2019 Report Share Posted November 30, 2019 The problem with having a high mag scope and a pard is the narrow field of view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbel Posted November 30, 2019 Report Share Posted November 30, 2019 have hawksidewinder with high mag, keep it on lowest and it works, use it a lot, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4535jacks Posted November 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2019 I am tempted to get a Solaris SRX to increase the light and allow me to run at a high mag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a nightmaster nm800 and swopped to a SRX it made a big difference. I was using a MTC mamba 4 x16 -50. And now I use a sightron s-tac 2.5 X 17 -56. The lower mag has made it much easier to use.

The Solaris SRX is an excellent IR torch. My original one was converted to a variable power one. I have ranged the beam (tight) at over 400 yards, but I know it can go further.

beanieboy Posted November 30, 2019 Report Share Posted November 30, 2019 I use Hawke Airmax and Endurance scopes with the 007. The lowest mag on the Airmax scopes is x3, x5 on the Endurance. I use x5 on both with Solaris SRX and the image is very clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've used Hawke scopes for many years on most of my rifles. Excellent quality, and as you said, brilliant customer service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
