Reviews & Ratings for PARD Optics FD1850/F FD1-850 LRF 3.5x30mm Clip On Night Vision Rifle Scope — 2 reviews — Page 1

I received my FD1 today (I'm in Connecticut USA). The instructions are completely inadequate and there are NO videos that show you a) what to expect and b) step by set setup and mounting and use with an optical scope as a clip-on. I will have to make a video my self on these points as I have to first figure things out on my own.

I was also disappointed at the screen resolution in daytime color mode. I was looking at a target at 50 yards and it couldn't resolve the target rings themselves nor the pellet holes.

As a clip-on, it does not have the ballistic calc and new aim point. I just threw-out my $650 for this scope. Useless to me. That is never disclosed by Pard or dealers.

I haven't shot with it yet because I still have MANY questions.

Pard make great products but HORRIBLE customer support and resources for customers.

I also have a NV008SLRF and DS35-70LRF.

There are tons of features this scope offers. Most will never be used. I just wanted a simple setup to shoot close range critters at nite. I attached it to my FX Impact M3 .25 PCP that has a 500 dollar crystal clear Hawke scope. It comes with simple instruction book that really is not detailed enough. During daylight, all the ballistic features are useless. At best you can see a tennis ball sized target at 200 yards. This contraption makes my scope look like 20 dollar scope, very blurry. At night with all possible settings, I might make out a tennis ball at 50 yards. Everything looks like its underwater. I tried for hours to make this thing clearer. The video is not much better. And there is a feature that turns on the camera after the shot. Well, that is too late, you will never see the impact. duh. You need to turn it on manually before the shot. My gun is sighted in, dead on, hole in hole at 50 yards. When this is turned on, the impact is 4 inches high and the group is opened up. And no I'm not using the built in reticle, I don't even know how to turn it on. I have to play with this at different distances. The assembly did attach to the scope well. I serious doubt that it wouldn't start rotating after a few shots with my 30.06 ALL in all, I wish i didn't buy it. I might shoot a coyote at 50 yards, maybe a racoon. But don't think the images are even close to clear like on PARDS website, I would kill for half that clear. Hopefully PARD comes out with ...
