I've try looking for a night vison range finder. Most range finder i can find doesnt have night vison. Anyone know any range finder that can do both day and night time range finder, up to like 300 yards.
I did looked in the pard 008 but that is a night vision scope. I already have an pard 007 because I prefer using an normal scope instead of a digital scope.The PARD 008LRF would work as a handheld. Even better, mount it on the rifle. Range with a button push and pull the trigger.
I dont like digital scopes, so wasn't into night vision scopes. For night time shooting i just attach my pard 007 to my normal scope and it becomes night vision. I was actually looking for a hand held range finder that can do both day and night time just to range my target so I know how far it is.A lot of night vision scopes have rangefinders built in. My thermal scope does, but my IR scope does not.
Why would you want your rangefinder to not be integrated with your scope? Perhaps just to save weight on your gun? The rangefinder attachment on my scope is fairly heavy.
I did watch reviews on the pard 008 and atn x sight 4k for night time shooting. But went with the pard 007 instead only cause I prefer glass scope during day use over digital. The cross hair on the glass scope is better than that on the digital cross hair. Most range finders i found are only for day use. I plan to use it to shoot rabbits, squirrels, rats, at night to range how far they are so I know to much how to hold over. Thermal is nice but they are in the thousand dollar range. Do not plan to spend that much just for a range finder. Been searching of Google and found the nightfox vulpes. It seem to do laser range finder both day and night for $400. If there are cheaper ones can post links. Really looking for $100 to $200 range budget.The PARD 008LRF works in daylight. It is my primary optic mounted on a Maverick used for shooting crows/starlings/pigeons mostly shooting during daylight hours. While a glass scope is better for daytime the PARD works fine and makes the Mav ambidexterous (relationship between eyepiece/cheekweld/magazine). As far as a stand-alone rangefinder, you'd need something with an ir illuminator to see what you're ranging with night vision. A standard hunting LRF is not going to have night vision capabilities. Alternately you could look at thermal. There are some awesome thermal units with LRF.
IMO the PARD 008 is an upgrade from the 007 and is substantially more versatile. I've said it before on AGN and I'll say it again, the only downside to the 008 is the limited FOV. For close range shooting (airgun range), I'd rather have half the magnification and twice the FOV. Slap that PARD on a powder burner and it's easily a 250+ yard combo.
What is your intendend quarry and normal shooting range?
Heh, seems we posted at the same time. I agree with the Glass optic aspect over digital. More reliable and don't need to be charged as mine is doing now.I did watch reviews on the pard 008 and atn x sight 4k for night time shooting.

Ill second the xvision range finder. Iv had one for archery for about 2 years now. Works like a charm. Pretty solid build. Really compact for having night visI did looked in the pard 008 but that is a night vision scope. I already have an pard 007 because I prefer using an normal scope instead of a digital scope.
