It’s small, but Pard claims a range of 200 metres. Up front is the 850Nm IR torch that has three brightness levels and an adjustable beam. The rechargeable 18650 battery is housed at the top of the unit and gives a claimed eight hours of use. Alternatively, there are some excellent aftermarket adjustable mounts. It’s not unusual to have to use some shims provided between the scope and mount to re-centre the reticle in the screen once zeroed. Both are made from high-grade IP7 waterproof-rated aluminium and come with an infrared torch.Ī sturdy one-piece mount attaches to a Picatinny rail and the NV008P screws on. A version with an integrated matchbox-sized laser rangefinder will set you back £899. The base model costs £646 and weighs 435g with dimensions of 162x54圆8.5mm. Finally, Optics Warehouse has put forward the Wulf 4K 3-24x, which it sells for £799.ĭistributed in the UK by The Sportsman Gun Centre, the NV008P was a bestseller from day one, and it’s not hard to see why. Pulsar distributor Thomas Jacks sent us a Digisight Ultra N450 (£1,159.95). Thanks to Scott Country International, we have a Sightmark Wraith 4K Max (£949.99), and RUAG Ammotec loaned us an ATN X-Sight LTV 3-9x (£715). Sportsman Gun Centre has sent us a Pard NV008P, which carries a retail price of £646. Starting with IR scopes, we have five of the most popular on sale right now. We’ll be taking a look at all three over the next few issues. There are three basic categories of night vision optic – infrared (IR) scopes, thermal scopes and add-ons – either IR or thermal – that are attached to a regular day scope. There are plenty of products to choose from and fortunately varying budgets are increasingly catered for. Lamping still works, but in my opinion it doesn’t hold a candle (pun intended) to infrared (IR) and thermal technology. Of course, shooting in the dark requires night vision optics. Hordes of scavenging rats come in from the exposed countryside to seek shelter around farms and those grass-gobbling rabbits still have to venture out of their burrows to feed. When the weather cooperates, shooting at night in the winter can be very productive.
