Hi Steve. Had the 008 for six months, went for this over the ATN (after your reviews) great bit of kit, didn’t want all the bells and whistles of the others. Picture quality is excellent night vision is very good IR is very good up to 100 yards, I love it, increased my night rabbit kills tremendously. Good stuff 👍
Nice, I too am swapping out my ATN's for Pards.
Nice review. I have spent years chasing a set up, that I consider could not be beaten. After putting one of these on top a HW110, my search is over. Eagle vision mount, and a Boblov style range finder bolted to the side. Game over.
Excellent review. About the batteries, they are what they call flat top 18650. Two serious items which you didn't mention. 1) Don't let the battery completely run down otherwise this will cause problems, 2) the little red light which indicates the unit is on and when in sleep mode it is still on so if you go to remove the battery make sure the unit is completely switched off otherwise like the completely discharged battery will cause problems. To resolve both of these you have get an update on a micro card from your reteller and place this in the unit and upload the program and it is then ready for use again. You may have to reload your personal settings again.
My friend has the NV008LRF and he loves it. As you state it's so light and compact yes it does take a while to get use to the buttons but once mastered it's a piece of cake. Mine is ordered and on the way should be here for the weekend.
Going to sell my Yukon Photon RT 6X50 S, plus the rechargeable batteries and charger that I bought with it.
Thanks Richard for the info to help others. Letting the battery go flat will not damage the Pard, but will make the Lipo 18650 die and need to be replaced. Standard Lipo 18650 technology and hence the warnings.
@@airgunology Richard's referring to an early firmware version, where a bug meant the menu button would stop working if the battery ran flat or was removed while the unit was on.
More recent firmware versions have solved that wee glitch & v1.25 makes the IR slightly stronger too.
Cheers. Russ
Very good review Steve, I knew you would like it. A couple of things you missed 😁 the zoom on the ir and you can put in 5 different zeroes. Very handy you you use different pellets. Maybe I should point out that's with the update
Yeah missed that unfortunately. I am getting the LRF version soon, so will cover it in that video.
PARD 008 LRF is good but not as good as all the reviews tell us! Best features (Excuse to buy ;-) are the built in torch with night vision, the built in range finder, good battery life and ease of replacement, it also is used in the normal scope position. Down side, 6.5 base zoom = terrible target accusation, picture quality ok but no were near as good as glass. I use it as I am lazy and everything is in 1 package and it all weighs the same as a 40mm scope, during the day in shaded woods or dark barns, its one tough to night vision, BRILLIANT ! and "IF" you want it there is good video (do you need it?), Always remember if you shoot mainly in day light this is nothing like good glass. one shot zero is GREAT But setting up the unit height to achieve this is a pain OR again if like me your lazy, another £100 for the quick set Eagle vision mount ! Due to lock down I managed to save and buy one, it is very nice but if you cant afford it don't think you are missing out, it is not the answer to all things ! its simply another NICE to have ! I now think a 007 added to my good glass may have been better ? Just my opinion ............. O the £200 range finder ? the read out sits next to the reticule OMG its so nice to have, worth every penny. Having been with out a range finder for a week in the past and a round trip of 300 miles to retrieve it ! Conclusion PARD 008 LRF ""jack of all Trades" ....... master of but a few ! ... look long and hard at your shooting needs.
I have to add I have looked through one of these and the image is awesome alot better than you see on the footage on here also it is tiny and very light weight it's a no brainer, hopefully they will add more reticles and colours, time to start saving.
In low light it comes into its own.
Yup, everything I found out as well. I was blown away and making the immediate switch from ATN to Pard.
Great review - thanks, this NV008 is definitely on my shopping list now 👍
Good choice!
Hi Steve
You mentioned in the video that the focus ring was very sensitive
Mine was the opposite it was stiff
You can alter the tension by removing the mounts
Then you’ll see a small hole that’s filled with shiny black silicone
Just pick it out with a pin or something then inside is a small allen grub screw
Just tighten or loosen I loosened mine
Hope this helps
Excellent information mate, will have a look on my nv008 lrf I have now.
Great review, I bought my LRF on based on this. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
just boughta12mm 007, awesome, your actually getting quite good at this. nice vid dude.
Thank you Darrel
I'm looking into getting the lrf model and have been trolling the pard 008 reviews on yt
I have to admit your video is one of the best reviews I have seen.. Thanks for sharing and you have 1 new subscriber 😉
A few months ago I purchased a Yukon for considerably more that these. I've been struggling to get another battery for mine. Looks like the yukon is for sale and replace it with one of these. Fantastic review. One of the best I've seen.
Another excellent review Steve. Love the compactness and the way its mounting system works. Hopefully they do bring out updates for it as it needs the BC function to compete with the ATN and also the range finder version is about as much use as a Choc Teapot with out the connectivity to an auto BC. That said the rest of the features make it far nicer than the ATN 4K and it makes the gun more manageable and less top heavy especially as your was mounted to a BP and thus weight and balance all to the rear where it has far less effect.
Thanks buddy for the kind comments, please share
I have the 008 and the ATN Xsight both fitted to FX Bobcats.Will be sticking with the xsight. As much as the Pard is more compact and lighter I don’t think it is any where near as good as the ATN. Just my opinion.
Nice to have the choice. I have sold my older ATN HD to fund a Pard NV008 LRF.
Will use the Pard for close range ratting as I think it’s more suited than the ATN for close range.
Can't agree more. ATN sucks. I bought an ATN, nothing but trouble with it. Cut filter sticking, fishing coaster to alter focus easier, supplied IR unit a joke, homemade cap for day use to improve the clarity of the picture, awful video quality. Avoid ATN like the plague!
I have now bought a PARD NV008, and it is an absolute game changer. Excellent quality day and night. For the WiFi use OKcam app (IOS or Android), works fine.
Great review, well done.
mmm, think you covered most of it there. I am too leaving and selling up my ATN's for Pard.
Good review Steve Iv'e had a look through the Pard 008 LRF and its a great bit of kit. You don't need a BC as you can use the mildots same as on a normal scope
Yeah, bet they add BC soon though :)
There are five reticle settings, A - E. I have each one set 5 yards more than the last. 15 to 35 yards.
Great review. Unfortunately my bank balance is going to be down by £600.I honestly did not know which one to choose within my budget. Clear exact and precise.Thanks
Glad the video has helped in some way
cracking review STEVE i have watched this twice once before just having a nose and now because i am really thinking of getting one in all fairness it looks really good i had the ATN i found the reticle really small so there was no spaces to use hold over the day quality was rubbish but in the night i did come alive then having to add another battery because it will eat normal batteries in minutes and then the issue with it wont come under 27 yards all that was enough for me is the reticle the same as a normal scope in this on big with nice spacing on the mildots i hope you and the family is well keep safe and keep the videos coming all the best P.P.P.C
Thanks buddy and glad the video helped
Absolutely, solid information Steve. I e wondered how it works and now i don’t have to waste my time.... Pard is clearly my pick aswell. Whilst I am really desperate for a cheap but good thermal scope. Wonder if ghat could ever be an upgrade?? If you find it in your wheelhouse, maybe you ca do a review on a thermal setup?? Cheers bud
Thanks Chris and if i get a chance, I will
Very informative video,,,,in the market for a new scope and I think you've sold me on the PARD Steve,
,,,useful information with the benefits out weighing the minor faults. Many thanks
Glad it helped you out buddy, please share
Great review. I've sold my ATN 4K and have bought two PARD 8 units.
I am in the process of doing the same. So much lighter and cheap too.
If you think the buttons are a bit fiddly to remember, have you tried to figure out the Infotainment system on the average new car? 😱
hahahahahaha too true
Hints for Christmas i think! Thanks Steve,great review👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎
hahha definitely.
Steve, I think the port is a transfer port only, not a charging port, (my understanding), that's the case with my NV007 anyway. Some people try to charge via the port and fry the kit!
I love my NV007, I use it on rabbits out to 100 meters + and on foxes out above this, no problem. Good on rats also when using the air rifle.
Got to he honest though; I think the NV008 loses out to the ATN big time due to the lack of the balistic calculator. The ATN's calculation ability is bloody amazing and for air gun users, it's a real game changer. Fit the ATN rangefinder, ping the range button and bang, spot on the crosshairs everytime any distance, any angle.
Add the fact that the ATN takes incline into consideration and you can shoot a woodie up a tree at 10 meters in one shot, then at the press of a button, you are spot on for a rabbit down an incline at 50 meters, no holdover required.
I still prefer my NV007 however as I can swap it from scope to scope rifle to rifle with no need to re-zero, (which for me is good), where as you can't swap the integrated scope IR's from one gun to another without re-zeroing each time.
Each to their own though and the NV008 is certainly compact.
Take care.
I have tried it on the NV008. This port doesn't connect to computer to transfer and only charges.
@@airgunology Fair enough; must be a difference between the models possibly.
Like I say, love my NV007.
Night Vision has come on leaps and bounds in recent years.👍
Great Video/review Steve, you've persuaded me, should be on the gun by the weekend............thanks for reviewing
Sweet nice one dude, it is a great scope. My ATN's are being sold
@@airgunology Hi Steve, got one, fantastic kit, game changer, copied someone else's idea on air gun forum to make a note of cross hair X & Y co-ordinates at different zero's. i.e. 40yds rabbit/20yds rats so can quickly reset scope for different permissions. Something you might want to mention on your channel is that irritating rubber eye cup that keeps coming off. II found it awkward to look through in its normal position anyway & like you say it keeps coming off. However with a bit of stretching you can push it all the way over the diopter focus ring so the rubber lip drops over the rear of the ring it not only makes it super secure but also in my case makes it work much better.
Forgot to add, if the eye cup is moved over the diopter ring new venting holes will need to be punched into the rubber where its free from contacting the ring ,otherwise the lens may mist over, it did with me before I punched in the holes, I punched in three, works fine.
It's a lovely thing !
Well recommend cheers Steve nice review as always
Thanks buddy, so much so, sold my old ATN HD and about to sell my ATN 4K for one.
@@airgunology
Yes it's the way forward with this little gem.. got a permission
With over 100+rabbit s so mite be geting one myself just don't know wot to do with all the bunny s ?
Cheers 'Steve great video, got my 008 today and found it to be awesome, Yukon for sale
Nice one!
great review and what a lovely thing very useful for a night shoot 👍
Thanks for watching
Watched your vid, ordered a Pard, and now the ATN 4K 5 - 20 has to go. I do wish it had a bit more zoom, maybe the focus wasn't quite so touchy, and it came with an adjustable base. It's still allot better.
Cheers Steve, pretty comprehensive review.
Awesome buddy and thanxs for the kind comments.
Another great, honest review buddy. Would be good to now see how the PARD 007 stacks up.
will try
Please
i dont need the pard008 a 007 will be fine repeat after me i dont need the pard 008 !!!! fab review chap
Thanks, please share
Well I guess I will be waiting for the NV 009 . I am looking for more zoom range 6x,9x,12x, and not necessary but 15x would be nice maybe tighten up that Focus adjustment and you would have a real winner.
Great review by the way and would you happen to have at any slow motion video you could provide a link to.
Pleasure, please share. Sorry no slow mo video
i would like to purchase PARD008 but I am curious about its battery i have experienced about this kind of battery normally it is unreliable especially use it in oversea with difference voltage electricity
The battery is a standard 18650 battery found in most e cigs. Charge it like you would normally charge this type of battery and you will have no issues. I would suggest buying a 18650 external battery charger if you are worried.
Great review, many thanks!
Pleasure, please share
Steve, great video as always!!, wish I had one of those :D
Me too, getting the LRF for review soon, may buy it.
@@airgunology hope you bought it. I find it awesome even after just one outing.
Nice one Steve, good complete review
Thanks buddy, please share
Excellent review. Thank you
Very good review that
Need to start saving
Glad it helped
Brill video but on using the pard you can only shim up not horizontal so the crosshair is low and to the left of the screen you need to purchase a eagle vision mount or zb lite mount that allows you to set zero on the Mount's before making adjustments on the pard
i just bought one of these for my new hw100kt
Sweet !!!
@@airgunology hopeful they are good as everyone says
Be nice to see a comparison between the pard nv008lrf and the Sytong ht60lrf
Excellent review which led to me making my mind up. But now the Owl NV L3 has appeared. Very similar , but I am still leaning towards the Pard. Any thoughts about the Owl Steve ?
GREAT VID, CAN YOU PLEASE DO A REVIEW ON THE PARD 007 ADD ON PLEASE.?
I've got one.. they're good. The night vision isn't quite as clear but it works great.
If I can get my hands on one.
Yes that would help, as i’ve thought about that one for a long time with having different rifles that i could swap with.
Mine arrived today (15-07-20) and the focus wheel is actually quite stiff. Maybe they addressed this problem!
Good to know, hopefully
Pity the laser was a piece of crap! Got returned today under warranty! Laser reading way off, eg giving 22m for an object only 13m away OR trying to tell me that an object 7.5m away is actually 18.3m!! And I’m not the only one Mate. Seems there is a problem with the lasers on at least some of the brand new NV008LRF units....
How long before it resets itself with battery removed , if it does
Make a nice late birthday pressie lol
No idea. It has an internal memory that you can format. So assume this is saved on internal flash and won't get wiped.
That's already been fixed by a Firmware update, here Steve's using the latest inc' a few minor tweaks -and better IR.
Cheers. Russ
Great video.. can you have the screen set-up so you can see that the gyroscope is working , ie the rifle isn't canting ( level) ?
Very useful vid, thank you.
Pleasure, please share
Good morning Steve
I am completely new to air gunning coming from 22 rim fire. I am just waiting for my F C A for a 110 and wish i had seen your video before buying a Hawke SF sidewinder. This bit of kit look fantastic. Just 1 question. If you remove the battery to charge it, has the unit a separate charging unit in the box. keep up the great info videos.
No you will need to buy a seperate 18650 charger.
I wonder if it can take a bump or three. When you are out hunting in the dark, the conditions are usually far from ideal. Hence my question
I think it would as long as you are not smacking it constantly against trees. It seems very tough and well built.
@@airgunology Thank you and thank you for taking the time to respond. Much appreciated.
A great review! I've been shopping for a night vision scope for about a year. I've narrowed it down to either the Pard NV008 or Luna Optics LN-G3-RS50. They're not cheap and I tend to over research my big ticket purchases. You've ALMOST got me sold on this. Do you know or have an opinion on Luna Optics? They have a day/night rifle scope the LN-3G-RS50. It's very simular to the Pard NV008 in function, size and price but nobody seems to have any information about it. Your thoughts or opinion on Pard vs Luna Optics would help great.
I'm not a hunter but I do have a lot of varmints around my 5 acres. I'd like a day/night scope for my Ruger 10/22 and occasionally swap onto my CZ Scorpion 9mm SBR. I'm not too proud to say that "tacti-cool" is a factor in my decision.
James, sorry never played with the Luna or even seen one and so cannot really comment. All I can say is that if you can afford the NV008 LRF, then you won't be disappointed. I does normally require shimming on the rail, so be aware of this.
@@airgunology thanks for the reply. I just became aware of the shim issue and will hold off purchase until the matter is resolved. i'm not the best DIY guy. ended up calling Luna and the reason for so little information is because it's a new product and the manufacture has been delayed due to virus.
Can you add the LRF to the standard version?
Does LRF move the reticle for you like the ABL does?
Do these UK sites ship to the US?
I just bought a 4k Pro/ABL. Haven't use it yet, just mounted to a new AR build. But.. checking out a backup plan just in case.
No you can't add LRF to standard version. But you can add an after market range finder to the picatinny. Yes the reticle moves. You would have to ask the retailer.
How does it move the reticle if there’s no option in the menu to set up the ballistic profile? Not only that, but the reticle doesn’t even change when you zoom in. Meaning the holdover pips are useless. LRF version is a joke.
Great review thanks, are you able to give some comparisons between the pard 008 and the yukon sight line? Or even a review ? Thanks
Thanks, I review the Yukon some years ago, search my videos.
Hi Steve , What will you do about the reticle not being central in the screen picture after you zeroed, ( reticle is well over to the left ) as you know you can't shim for ' windage ' ???
Not sure buddy, never had it that bad. I assume you have tried switching off and on. If that doesn't help, try contacting Pard tech support.
Hi Steve, great video. I'm getting back to air-gunning again after 30 years! More leisure time at long last. I have recently aquired a .22 HW 100 KT. I shall be buying the 008 standard package, and would like to ask you, is the picatinny rail that is supplied adequate in YHO. If not, which one do you recommend. Subbed your channel. Stay safe.
Welcome back!
Impressive, think I’ll wait till the Chinese bring out a knock off version for a quarter of the price , l o l cheers Shane uk 🇬🇧
This is Chinese ::)
Nice video mate, aubscribed,i have a 008 myself and absolutely love it, there is a few videos of it in action on my channel. Keep up the good work
Nice and thanks for the sub
Ive got a 64g card in my 008..they also take 128gb cards
Nice to know, thanks
nice vid buddy, quick question, I heard it doesn't do the ballistic calculation, so how would it work shooting different distances? on a normal scope there are mil dots, how would this be achievable with the nv08?
thanks...
You use the reticle as you would with a normal scope. ie hold over and under.
Is there any shot activated video recording feature in Pard 008 ? If yes, please inform how to set this feature on the menu, because I can not find it in your review
No there is not
Question; trying to ajust the red dot, does anyone know what key or screw size or driver head used to move the red dot on the Pard ? Seem what ever I use does not fit very well, and don't want to screw the head up!
it still looks grainy in night mode and that's my complaint with the yukon [which i own] when is someone to produce one that dont have that bloody grainy quality that don't cost 2 grand ?make one for 500 and you wont be able to make em quick enough
Technical challenges. The better the IR torch, the less grainy they tend to be as well.
Great review Steve, have you done a review on the primos trigger sticks and 2 point gun mount which I can see behind you?
Not yet, good idea, will add to the list.
Cheers Steve look forward to it 👍
Hi Steve how do you zero red dot many thanks John
2 small allen grub screws near the laser
How many different reticals' Does it have ? And are they going to have anymore reticle choices available in the future?
About 4 or 5. Not sure if they will add more.
@@airgunology Thanks for taking the time to reply & doing these reviews !
I would love to have one, but I can build my own for a fraction of the cost. And mine work pretty good for a DIY night scope & recorder. I just posted a few vid's on VerminHunter Plus I'd rather spend the money on another FX Impact.
Hi . Long after the event I know but I was wondering if you had any idea if the latest Pard LRF as of Oct 2020 would handle the recoil of a Remington RNP22DC NPSS air rifle . Thanks in advance .
Hello Steve.... Could you tell me how to switch this device between video and photo mode? I can't find any information about that. Thanks in advance....
You press the power button once to take a picture. Hold the other button for video.
Nice review, man! just a question, do you think it's possible to make it a 1x magnification scope?
Nice..
Thanks
Thanks for the review. What kind of 18650 Battery do you recommend as a spare? Does it need a built-in protection circuit? thanks
Are the graduated reticles mildot, moa or just some random scale. There's nothing in the documentation. Also, the quality of the recording is far better than the ATN HD and my Nite Site Viper.
Not sure mate, I am guessing Mil Dot
I know there is a mil dot on the LRF version and there is an update for the 008 which gives you the same reticles as the 008 LRF
Now you got me wanting one even more Steve, ouch my bank balance, lmao Cheers
lol sorry casper
Steve,
How would this go with a .22 magnum springer like the Diana 52?
I’ve put the same question to Pard, but am waiting on a response!
Cheers,
Chris
I can't see why not as long as it fits on the rail
Pard replied this morning saying no worries, it can handle the recoil....!
So I’m going to get myself one of these little units! 😁
Hi Steve after 2 shot zero on pard nv008 and switching from 6.5 to 13 x zoom reticle is not always in centre of view screen is there any way to adjust this
Not really, switching off and on some times re-centers it a little. Just the way it works. If it is too "far" out, then shimming the scope rail is needed. Normally the rear.
Hi Steve, great video mate...
I would like your advice on a problem im having with my 008lrf, ok when looking through the scope my chosen cross hairs are on the screen and I hit the target, but on playing back my downloaded footage there are no cross hairs on the screen, the footage just shows the shot made but no hairs, this is no good for me as I put utube videos on and viewers wont be happy without any cross hairs on the target.
Any ideas mate, anything will be better than nothing, thanks in advance fella :)
Check the settings in the menu system. I think there is a setting for what to show during recording.
@@airgunology Thanks for getting back to me, u have to set the time and date first then the cross hairs come up 👍
Hi Steve, really helpful video..I have just purchased a NV008 and used your video to set mine up...frustratingly though yours seems to have a better choice of reticles do you know if that’s down to my software not being the same as yours??
Howdy markl200. You probably already figured this out but check your software version on your PARD, then do a search for the most recent software version ofr your exact model and then update it per the OEM instructions found in the manual. If you have put the manual in a safe place, do an online search for your model's manual and follow the updating instructions. Good luck!
My recordings have no reticle in them, what can i do to get the reticle to show in my recordings?
If you store it, for a few weeks or months, without Battery, does it lose your settings.
Would be better with a quick release mount.
Yup it would
they sell the LRF version on Aliexpress for £733.59
AliExpress, not for me, like to have a UK reseller to go back to and talk to. Good for some maybe,
Buy from customriflescopes.com (who are also the UK service agent for PARD), use their MeWe 15% discount code & you pay £701.25, plus you get a free ZB Lite Pro adjustable mount and a free gift. Last wee my buddy Davie got a handheld IR spotter free with his!
Cheers. Russ
Do you have to use the torch for it to work or can you use it in total darkness?
Do you think it’s better than the Yukon photon 6x50 day and night scope ?
Yes, definitely
E' possibile usarlo su un fucile calibro 300WM. Ci sono limiti di calibro ???
Great review Steve. When you zoom in does the reticle behave like a FFP ot SFP reticle?
It like SFP because when zooming the reticle stay in the original size and the image come bigger
Is it worth getting the built in rangefinder on the pard 008
Most definately.
Hi, tell me, can this gunsight withstand this gun for example 243 caliber ????
Great review! Expensive but it is some piece of kit. Is it waterproof ?
Splash proof yes, just don't go drowning it in a river
@@airgunology It's IPX-rated so yes & I've used it in pouring rain, incidentally that's why the internal microphone doesn't pick-up much.
Cheers. Russ
There's a video on TH-cam were a guy dunks the unit into an aquarium while it's turned on, and the unit still work's. I'm not recommending this but a drop of rain should be no problem.
Hi Steve great video I have a question what size is the mount and will it fit on a bsa r10 se
Does it hold its Zero if you change the focus?
Yes
@@airgunology I have an ATN Xsight and it is heavy eats batteries and if you change the focus it loses it Zero. I'm a bit disheartened by its performance and don't want to wast more money? but ill give it a go i think. Thanks for the video and the great reviews.
How is it on a 6.5 creedmoor on eye relief
Hi, new to this, bought the 007 and 008 for my R-10's, brilliant pieces of kit, i can view the vid/pic files from the sd card but i would like to get the image from the viewfinder onto my lappy screen as you did when zeroing unit but cant see the option. Any help would be gratefully received.
Cheers
Ian
If you want it on your computer, you will need a HDMI capture card like the one I showed in the video. Either that or mini HDMI cable to a TV. It will not work directly to your laptop without a capture card.
@@airgunology Hi Steve, big thanx for reply. I wanna go to lappy, i'm not good with this stuff. Can ya give me more detail what i need, is the socket in the unit a mini or micro HDMI, what make/model is the capture card. If i get PARD to card i can sort card to lappy cable. You know anywhere that could supply what i need? Apologies for being a dummy!

Hi Steve how do you the WiFi on ,in the pard and get it to stay on ,cheers
Nice video Steve! I've just bought one too, btw I'm sure I recognise your face are you from the Cambridgeshire area? Nice one
Nope Cheshire mate :) Used to live in Waterbeach as a kid.
Facebook full of a recall regarding the laser not being bs standard,dont know if any truth in it
Not heard or seen anything of this, will keep an eye out.
Nice video Steve.
That's possibly scaremongering by the competition, as they just don't have this level of tech.
I have several videos of the PARD008 & PARD008LRF on my channel, with more to come soon including one specifically on IR illuminator safety, for everyone using NV kit.
Cheers. Russ
@@RussDouglas222 i watched your vids then bought one mate,top notch,i think they are the best nv out there right now,i have a few set ups and the clarity,size and the built in ir are superb,
@@180del Nice one, if you update to the PARD008LRF's V1.25 Firmware that will further boost the IR on levels #2 & #3 and give you Picture-in-Picture (PiP), though you obviously won't have the rangefinder functionality.
The NightVision Forum is where all the latest info can be found.

Planning to get a pard nv008 lrf. Is there a uk made? Or all is made in china?
Does your version of the software show the gyros with elevation, bank and compass?
Mine does. Compass seems off but the gyro can be calibrated.
so after you have moved the X&Y settings , how do you get cross hairs back into center of the screen ?
They won't go back to centre. If they are massively off, you may need to shim the scope up or down if they are too high or low.
