Pard NV

[wigeon jim]

Hi, l am looking to purchase a pard nv007 add on to use on my air rifle and  HMR .17 , which model is best suited to use on these guns? I see there is 12mm and 16mm versions with different magnification, anyone used one?

Hi, Depending on the base mag of your scope, I had the 16mm and sold it when I got a x6 base mag for the .223 and now have a 12mm version, it ix 1-1 magnification.

Hello, For those 2 rifles i would go 16mm with a low magnification scope , either AO or SF starting 3 or 4 X 40 or 50 if you want shoot in low light, Oh and your most likely need to Extend the Stock, i needed 20 mm on my CZ 455,

My scopes are 4 - 16 x50 on the air rifle and a 4-12 x44 on the .17 HMR , both are hawk scopes,

Hello, That should do ok , I used mine just over 4 mag but once you set up your Pard you can adjust accordingly , although my scope was a side focus , with any luck you should be able to set both scopes same,

I have a 16mm pard on a 4x32 AO scope on an air rifle for night time ratting. It is fine if the rats are 25 yard shots but once the range gets below 15/10 yards (which often happens with rats) I find the magnification is too much and the rats are difficult to locate in the scope, especially as they don’t stay still for many seconds. If buying again I would opt for the 12mm version.

I use a 16 mm version with a 3-12 x50 sidewinder on my hmr and it works well but I would go with the 12 mm as the 16 mm will increase the size of the ret and will only start at 1.5x mag where as the 12 mm is 1x I believe  . I also don’t find the need for an extra ir but I do use a butt pad extender .

Hello, I used a 16 mm on my sub 12 air rifle and CZ 455 , Between the 12 and 16 is very debatable but i did find the 16 not quite ideal for ratting at short ranges but excellent on the 455, I agree on the I/R and butt extender although i could not get use to this set up N/V ,
