I had great expectations - PARD Optics SA62 Thermal Imaging 1-4x35mm Rifle Scope

This is the second Pard that I had purchased and had big expectations for it. My first Pard is a SA32 45mm and am pleased with it. I bought this scope thinking that it would be an upgrade. I don't know if the thermal sensor is bad or what the problem is, Pard is going to have to figure that one out, as I'm sending it in under warranty. It appears that it had developed several dead pixels that won't go away and are very annoying. Also the thermal resolution does not appear to be any better than an SA32. After getting the scope, I noticed that the refresh rate is only 30 mhz, which is also a little annoying. I like the pard scopes, price point is amazing, options are unparalleled, but for me this one flopped. We'll test the warranty department out, and see how they handle it.
