- Here we have my take on the Pard NV007 night vision add on unit kindly supplied to me by The Sportsman Gun Centre. cracking piece of kit at a really good price point; Clear, easy to use, more than capable. couldn't ask for much more from such a small unit. The good news is these are now being solely distributed by SGC and as such can be found on their site or any local RFD with an account - simple as that!

I got mine a couple of weeks ago and think its great. Takes a while to get usedto the eye piece being further back but not a real problem. The latest models dont come with a laser any more. It would have been handy if this feature was still on as it really would help with range finding.
It’s changed your scope’s usual eye relief position and looks so far back it’s preventing you using the cheek piece as you would normally do, and this can effect your shooting consistency. Sure, you can reposition the scope + pard to maintain usual eye relief position, which defeats the purpose of the pard and is a minor negative.
To be fair; yes you could move the scope forward using a mount like the eaglevision infinity fae, but to be fair i found the shooting position of the Pard to be comfortable. The rifle was still shouldered, i could take quick repeatable shots, even with the unit detached the adaptor didn’t interfere. The only thing i would say is with a rifle that recoils; you may want to adjust either the scope or your position. James
i would advise not to plug the unit in via the lead the unit gets very hot & possibly could over heat the internal board, charge the batteries externally via a dedicated battery charger
Absolutely; this was to show whats included with the nv007 itself - but moving forward as mentioned a stand aline external charger is the way to go for sure. James
Straight to the point no BS highly informative much appreciated
Thanks!
Got one 2 weeks ago, after a faulty battery exchange ( as in it wasn’t holding a charge ) it turned out to be a fantastic unit for the price.!
Bear in mind, Pard make their own bespoke rechargeable batteries. Even though it says it’s an 18650 battery I can assure you it’s not.
I tried another 18650 from another device and it’s a fraction too long. It’s not a deal breaker but something to think about, your tied to buying a Pard battery
if you want a spare.
Get flat top and not button top batteries. Mine works fine on generic flat top 18650 batteries.
some 18650 have flat tops on them , will that help
Flat top dude, not nipple batteries, use the nipple batteries and the battery cap will not tighten down to the sealing O ring.
Drove all the way to sportsman's today based on your review. Spoke to Tom, managed to get the nv007 for £330!!! Walked out of the shop with it for that amount! I started sprinting to the car in case they'd made a mistake but no, genuinely, they are currently only £330.
Can't wait to take it out this eve on the new hw110
How long does it take to charge up from flat
Hiya James i have the first model of the 007, been using it best part of 2 years now and never had any issues with it at all, used it in weathers with a fault of any kind, they are well worth the money, i would highly recommend them, and being honest if any thing happened to my 007 i would purchases a nother one in a heart beat mate Cheers
I’ll be honest its one of the few units that i’ve tried that i could actually see me personally owning and using on a regular basis - part of me now is toying with selling my xsight! James
James if you want a good app for the pard download road cam you don’t even have to look down the scope play all images on to your iPad 👀 great bit of kit
Great video, concise and very detailed on an interesting piece of kit. Many thanks
Thanks, appreciated. James
I was watching a video from eight years ago I was surprised when I figured out he was still uploading
Still here!
Thanks for this review. Very helpful with my decision to buy one which I'm going to . Appreciated. 👍
Hi thank for your review on the pard was just wondering what lens you use 16mm or 12mm as you say you use yours for foxes and short range rats like me i would like to use for long range foxing and short range Rat shoot with an air rifle.
With the Pard on, what about the distance eye and the Pard?
It's makes your scope longer.
Brilliant review. I’m very interested in one of these!!
very nice video mate, very informative, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Thanks!
great review (how was the 007 on the titan at night (footage) , can you adjust focus okay with it?)
Hi can you still focus you scope with this on it as mine is on the eye bit. Or do you need on a side winder?
Thanks in advance
I have one of the early models and have been using it for 2 plus years. It is a great unit and leaves the competition standing. Real shame that they had to spread all kinds of rumours to try and undermine the Pard unit. Those sort of tactics means I wont buy from them.
My unit has been faultless and everything works as it should. Some scopes, typically higher end, struggle letting all the IR through so an additional IR source helps. I would advise against charging the battery in the unit. This has broken some units due to the heat. Better get an external charger and be safe.
EDIT, these are not waterproof/showerproof.
The use of an external charger going forward long term really would be the best option and the one that i would advise, thankfully chargers and batteries are easy to get hold of!
Very well said👍👍👍👍
Thank you for the guide on the pard nv007, I have a fx crown continuum with a element Titan myself and was wondering if that unit would suit. And you’ve answered it thank you. Due to the top turret and laser so it looks like I’ll probably go for a standalone pard nv008 lrf. Looking forward to your full review of the nv007 and hopefully sgc will let you try the nv008 lrf at some point.
Fingers crossed! James
Good morning, great review, just purchased MV007S and bought a Hawk Airmax 30 WA sf scope, added it to my Daystake Mk 3 and even with mounts all way forward it’s to far back and means I have to tilt head uncomfortably and it sticks into check, maybe I can get different mounts, looking at your FX the butt looks much thinner so I’m guessing your eye lines up comfortably using that gun ??? As you know it’s all trial and error so would like your thoughts and have you used it on other guns with success ????
Nice video. Thanks for great info. I just order it, but in Denmark we have to wait almost 2 month to get a licens from the Police. Have a nice Cristmas
Thats a long time! Thanks for watching, hope you have a lovely Christmas too! James
I see the pard set on the scope in your video pushes the ocular lens further back and on your FX the stock almost disappeared, is this a problem?
He has no room for his cheek, I have my scope alot further forward and I've got rid of that stupid rubber eye piece gives you extra extra room for cheek plus stops the ocular on the pard from steaming up.
Interested in answer to this question, as do you then have to move scope forward ? And then re-zero ?
No not at all, your eye then focuses on the screen rather than the scope if that makes sense. So even without shifting the scope about you can see perfectly clearly. James
Excellent review, thanks! 👍🏼
Thanks!
What would you recommend 12 mm or 16 mm with a maximum range of 150mtrs
16mm better than 12 mm if 150 mtrs
Would you recommend this for the price
Wow! Looks amazing! Given the option, would you use this, or a NiteSite Wolf?
As someone who has used both - i’d go pard... the nitesite gear is good; but its far more expensive and its a weird way to use a rifle being that far away from the stock. My biggest issue and what ultimately made me sell my wolf was the rubber mount / tube. It was a pain - would get knocked out of alignment if you were walking about , which when the shooting is fast - is not what you need nor want! James
Thanks for the review, still can’t decide to sell my nite site wolf to put towards a pard
Its a tough one! I used to run a wolf; was great but my biggest gripe was the fact the rubber tube / adaptor used to get knocked out of alignment - the Pard i found that this wasn’t an issue.
Been waiting since April for my Pard ....
Can u illuminate your cross hair.. With your scope.. Does it have effect on nite mode.. Eg. Clarity etc.....
It will certainly make the ret stand out yes - personally though i’ve never really relied on illuminated rets - that comes down massively to personal choice though. James
Hi James, thanks for this review. Just wondering if you could tell me about the barrel shroud on the impact? Doesn't look like the stock one! Thanks
Its a huggett shroud and mod: full review & fitting guide can be found on the page. James
Using the Pard. is it helfull to use a IR flashlight? is it necessary or helpfull or is it the same with an external flashlight. I have a couple of Pards but have not tried the flashlight combo. Thanks!
the uneven scope shadow: can you adjust via dial/buttons or or is it a move the device back an forth on the scope type of thing??
God speed, I hope your doing well my friend.
NASA called, want their Hubble prototype returned
have you heard of any feedback from a full bore rifle fit?.... whats it like at 200m?
Great piece of kit, I use mine on my weihrauch hw 100 kt, brilliant on the rats👍
Certainly is!
Witch scope do U use?
I've just bought one. PARD claim a battery life up to 8 hours but I'm only getting about 45 minutes one level 1 OR and not recotding. Anyone else have issues with battery life?
I get about five hours using on standby, but if know I have a five Minuit walk to next chance of a shot I turn off device. I would have thought it has to be your batteries mate
It looks very far back on the rifle,is it ok for head position please?
I’ve always run my scopes further back than most, but for me, it works. Using the pard i’ve had no issues at all. Failing that run the eaglevision infinity mount and you can slide it forward to create a bit of space. Each to their own! James
@@ReplicaReviews
OK thanks,so basically you don’t have to move the scope and re-zero each time the Pard is added on/taken off?
I ask because that’s a deal breaker for me.I’m not familiar with the eagle vision mount,I’ll look into it,thank you.
What is the best low budget scope to put in on in your opinion?
You don't have to re zero using the atn. It has multiple profiles
Yes.... but it’s good practice to take a conformation shot if its been off the rifle... as things can and will shift slightly - thats the point i was trying to make
Can you please tell me what app works with this thing now? Because there's no app's that allows these unit's to connect to Wi-Fi😞
Did you need to wrap your scope with tape to fit in on element scope? Or does it just fasten on?
Not with this specific scope. But shimming may be required on other optics to get that “perfect fit”
I don’t see how price is an issue. I own 5 air rifles and a number of powder burners this will work on. I get to use my scope on my guns, no adjustments and it slips in and off all my scopes. Figure 13 night vision scopes is what I’m getting vrs one or two that would set me back a good $800-1600 that don’t have to be messed with when I have to change them out. And it can be used independently, if it can helmet mount, that’s an even bigger win. From where I’m sitting this thing ticks all the boxes. Hoping to order from Optics Planet in the next week or so. Them coyotes that keep messing with my sheep are flat f@$ked.
Did you get the 12mm or 16mm
I'm in a quandary, do I get this or a sight mark wraith?
Nice review
Thanks
Would it work on non paralax optics, on 20 to 50yards
Would this be good on my sfp helix or do I need something with smaller mag
I’ve had the 007 now for a while and love it, till now when i thought i’d update the software and now it’s in bloody Chinese. How can i get it back?
Best bet - give the shop you picked it up from a call. Failing that give sportsmans a call. I’m sure their techs will be able to help.
I read it has a built in 2x mag is this still the case?.
If so
Double this with the Titans min of 5x, and those 5 yard rats must look scary large.
also did the Titans turret not mess with the IR torch beam?
Thank you for showing James.
There is still mag yes, in the next few days i’ll put some stills up from some rat blasting so you’ll be able to see what a rat at 15 yards looks like - but you’re bang on, which is why being able to wind the titan down to x5 was a bonus! James
Is there a laser range finder suitable for this set up?
yes, already had range finder design
Any benefits of the 007 over the 008?
I’ve not had chance to look at the 008 yet; however - the main advantage i can see from what i know currently would be the ease at which the 007 can be swapped from gun to gun with no need to zero of fire conformation shots at all. Even moving from one pic rail to the next you’d still need to check zero - tightening the bolts slightly differently may seem irrelevant but even that could effect zero enough to be an issue. James
Yes, the big one is that a 20 quid adaptor on each scope you want to use it on, and your away with a twist and a click. I use it on my air rifle, rimmy & .220 no problems so far!
What type of gun is this?
Its an Fx Impact
i have an atn xsite and i have no problems swapping it between rifles
Hi James, so is that 12mm pard you have? I hear it has less magnification so probably works better with that scope, I was thinking of getting one myself for the impact with element helix scope, 6x24x50
Just wondering is 12mm the way to go, thanks
as far as I am aware from a friend who has one the 12 mm is more suited to
Hilarious. Saw a rat twice near my truck. At night i turned on my pard with intention to see if there were loads of rats. Could not see any. Only end of car park was a lone car. Soon as raised scope to look at car instantly engine started and car roared out of car park. Ha ha ha ha. Horrified though he knew I was looking. So i left scope on my car roof and walked to where he had been. Looking back you can see a bright red light coming from the pard. Er what. That aint no good. How do i turn that off?
Sportsman gun centre is waaaaay over priced for milled metal actually anything metal.
