What set up are you using

[oowee]

Think you need some IR alignment.

[pete52]

Yeah, I do seem to struggle with that to be fair. The laser IR gives out such a small spot of light (even on its most flood setting) thats its hard to keep aligned. 🤬

I tried one of these, which you can get for about £25. They are good at first but are not stable for long.

Now I use these which you can get for less that thiis price listed. They are good and will hold the head of the torch rather than the body (much more stable).They can be shimmed for aiming.

Thanks for that info. I have now got the rail scope ring thing you linked to, & this torch mount to try once we can get back out. Fingers crossed this will help with its windage & elevation adjustments.

I use one of these on a 008 https://www.ludicrous-lumens.co.uk/ULLY_WINDAGEELEVATION_ADJUSTABLE_WEAVERPICATINNY_TYPE_IRTORCH_BALL_MOUNT/p6841183_20228430.aspx

Very simple, just loosen the top lug, move to correct position and re tighten, easy to remove when youre done.

Sightmark Wraith looks on a par image wise with a Pard 008, except the supplied IR is no where near as good as the Pards laser, and is not integrated, so sticks out some what, on what is already a pretty large heavy unit.
When the new 007 and 008 comes out imminently , with its better screen and even smaller lighter chassis, the Wraith will look even less attractive.

The Yukon 450 and 470 will be better image wise, but they weigh over twice as much, and cost 50 % more than the Pard  or Wraith, and STILL need a good secondary laser IR to make the most of them.

hello, thanks for that Rewulf, i keep looking at a new N/V scope, i got an XT but could not get a decent zero what ever i tried on my 455

[Rewulf]

Pard 008 is still the best solution for the money, and when the new one hits these shores, there will be lots of cheap 2nd hand ones as people upgrade.

Couple a 008 up with a decent external laser and machined ZB  mount , you have a fully adjustable / dial -able NV solution, with massive battery life and 400 yard range.

Bloke called Lee Poland (N8 Vision) does the machined ZB mount for £116 delivered.

The machined version does away with the Pard mount altogether, you just bolt it straight onto the mount and its rock solid, and lower than the Pard mount itself.
It does away with the Pards digital windage and elevation, giving you a perfect centred reticule, and in field adjustment.
If youre any good at machining , you could do it yourself, the mounts are available for around £85 un cut.
