RyanMc Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 Hi, Having some issues keeping the rubber bellow style eye cup on the Pard ocular lens - I have lost it a few times, found 2 out of 3. Does anyone have any methods to prevent it getting pulled off the unit and lost. Wary of superglue as it can 'evaporate' onto the lens as it cures, have has this happen before on a part with glass beside it. Open to suggestions, I don't like using it without, feels wrong, additional glare from the unit and I scoped myself firing at a fox, only 223, but it was sore enough to notice (that's when I realised it was missing, other than thinking something wasn't right when raising the rifle). It does help maintain the eye relief. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had thought about that, my fear was it biting into the race between the adjustable ocular lens and the body. Might have a look and see if there is a lanyard style loop to catch on to.

Good shot? Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 I use black insulating tape on my Pard 007 for the same reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanMc Posted February 21 Author Report Share Posted February 21 Will give the cable tie or line a try, I have some finer cable ties that might help retain it. Not a fan of insultation tape, sticky as F*&^ but sticks to F all 😛 Thanks for the heads up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
