A view to a kill
Mark Ripley tests the living daylights out of the NV007 from Pard
Mark Ripley
It’s very much the case with most things in life that you get what you pay for. However every now and again you get what you pay for - and a whole lot more. This was the case when I recently tested the Pard NV007 night vision add-on. This little unit has become very popular, almost overnight, with not just airgunners and rimfire users but also centrefire rifles too. The device has been rated for use with up to .308 calibre rifles.
This lightweight and compact little unit is a rather well thought out bit of kit, mounting on to the rear of a standard day scope via a supplied bayonet style mounting collar. The forward ring of this collar can be left in place on the rear eyepiece of your scope enabling the unit to be simply pushed and locked on with a quarter turn. The Pard NV007 is also fitted with its own infrared torch which is actually surprisingly powerful and is, in fact, one of the most powerful onboard IRs I’ve used on an add-on unit.
