squirrel shooter Posted March 22, 2021 Report Share Posted March 22, 2021 I have a pard 007 and really rate it. Lately I've struggled to pick targets up in it, ie foxes. I'm using a Solaris SRX IR and I have the beam adjusted accordingly. I don't know if I've changed my technique or what. Has anyone else had this happen to them? Thanks in advance!

oldypigeonpopper Posted March 22, 2021 Report Share Posted March 22, 2021 (edited) Hello, what day scope are you using ? I would start from the beginning, adjust scope dioptre to eye sight, bit of sticky tape to stop moving, fit adapter, start on lowest magnification, adjust scope to get a clear reticule and the use the 007s adjustments to get your eye sight ,distance, and clarity, my Hawke S/F works best on 6 mag, I don't find a need for extra I/R , i pull the 007s I/R sleeve out half way and can get 250 yard, without using the 007 onboard I/R, and just your torch should get further out, I don't use the screen brightness to high Edited March 23, 2021 by oldypigeonpopper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know its slightly off topic but I'm saving for a Pard 007 and of course want to make sure its compatible with my day scope. My son has his pard to fit all his rifles but his scopes are top line, whereas mine are more "budget" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just didn't want to waste a shed load of money on a pard if it wouldn't suit the scope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldypigeonpopper Posted March 23, 2021 Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 Hello, to get the very best from these 007s there are about 10 adjustments, once set up it is a very good nv add on 6 minutes ago, Centrepin said: Thanks, all I can do is try it.

Centrepin Posted March 23, 2021 Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 I had to go and take a picture as I didn't have a clue. My son bought it, didn't like it on his Ansuctz so I popped it on an air rifle. I've not used it yet but was planning on fitting to a .22LR. He didn't use it either, just didn't like it.

Hello, it does not look like an AO or side focus scope so will not work with the 007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rewulf Posted March 23, 2021 Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 No parralax adjustment on that scope, not good . Might work on 3x at low ranges ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Ward add on will not work with the higher quality scopes as they often have too many coatings for the IR. The sidewinder scopes are worth looking at as they have side focus, very handy with NV. 16 hours ago, squirrel shooter said: I have a pard 007 and really rate it.

Good shot? Posted March 23, 2021 Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 16 hours ago, squirrel shooter said: I have a pard 007 and really rate it.

Has anyone else had this happen to them? Thanks in advance! Having had good results previously. Could it simply be the weather conditions applicable at the time, i.e. Fogging / misting of the lense?

A good rule of thumb though is cheaper the better, less lenses , and density of lens, sometimes its coatings too. You can normally compensate with loads of IR though. 1 hour ago, Good shot? said: Having had good results previously. Could it simply be the weather conditions applicable at the time, i.e. Fogging / misting of the lense? What is it like in daylight/low light ? Could be an issue with the Solaris ? Try short range with the on board IR. I was tearing my hair out one night thinking my 007 was broken, switched it on , and was getting a tiny amount of vision through the scope, trying all kinds of things to get a picture. As I packed up to go home in disgust , I noticed I hadnt taken the lens cap off my Wraith IR torch, which had a little pin hole in it.....😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
