It's very good, but won't work well on an S&B 8x56 No rear add-on will work well on a scope without adjustable objective/side parallax and particularly on scopes with lens coatings optimised for low light conditions Cheers Bruce

Have a look at the Delta titaniums and Strykers. Optics warehouse sell them Cheers Bruce

Kahles 8x42 or 10x42 Apart from giving up about 5 minutes before Swaros at dawn and dusk, there's not much in it. Great value for a cracking set of RF binos. Vortex also do excellent 10x42 RF binos for around the same price as the Kahles Cheers Bruce

He has lots of great videos covering little know subjects. Check out a recent one where a British lightning fighter intercepts an american U2 spyplane - something the americans thought impossible. The same aircraft later went on to intercept concorde while it was doing mach 2. Cheers Bruce

If I was been really, really generous about Corbyn, I'd say he is a left wing idealist of the type that was common in university graduates of his time. Virtually all of those people have grown up and come to realise that the ideology of their university days simply doesn't work in the real world. Unfortunately, comrade Corbyn never grew up and still genuinely believes the left wing stuff. That's why he has such a hard time giving any straight answers - he knows that if he expresses his true believes, he'll be laughed off the stage. If I was being less generous about Corbyn, you probably wouldn't print it for fear of defamation!! Cheers Bruce

My final post on this subject, and my apologies to the OP. You're still not getting it. I can't force the US seller to declare a barrel blank as a steel tube, but I can ask him. If he decides to declare it as a steel tube and falls foul of US legislation, then he takes the consequences. Blaming me, won't do him any good, because it's his, and only his decision what to put on the paperwork and no, the Feds won't come after me, because I did not commit any crime. FYI, I regularly import oilfield equipment from the USA and it's entirely up to the seller what they actually put on the paperwork. I've had cooperative sellers and uncooperative sellers, but there's nothing I can do about that. it's up to the seller to decide what to put on the paperwork. Cheers Bruce

Maybe you didn't understand - I was writing the post as the person, in the UK, trying to buy a barrel blank from someone in the USA. If the exporter in the USA breaks federal law, by trying to send me a barrel blank and finishes up in the pokey,then that's his problem, not mine

Hacking a US government computer and importing a barrel blank are not the same thing. If the company/person in the US chooses to sell a barrel blank to you in the UK, you have committed no crime in the UK or US. The company/person selling you the barrel blank my have committed a crime in the US, but it was their choice to sell you the barrel blank and therefore they, not you, have to suffer the consequences. Cheers Bruce

If you are the importer, living in the UK, breaking a US federal law is irrelevant. People in the UK break US federal laws every day, but they don't finish up in Levenworth The exporter may have a problem, but you won't

Have it declared as a "steel tube" on the paperwork No problem for export or import Cheers Bruce

OK, so you thought a £400 add-on would be as good as a £2400 digital scope? The 007 is the best "bang for your buck" NV add-on available, but it's not a Drone Pro Popgun is clearly not happy with his 007, but In have to say, that given how many 007s have been sold, he's very much in the minority. Cheers Bruce

Not if it does what you want - and it will. I have one I use with a PARD NV008 and it does give a big improvement in clarity, particularly at longer ranges. Cheers Bruce

Go into the menu and check the EV exposure setting. it is normally 0.0, but increasing the number makes the camera more sensitive, but the image noisier, reducing the number makes the camera less sensitive but the image less noisy. Cheers Bruce

The PARD uses an HD sensor that requires much more IR than a T20 can produce. The on board IR on the PARD is much much more powerful than any LED based IR illuminator. Cheers Bruce

The Bushnell Legend is usually quite good with NV add-ons - as you found with your home brew NV. If you're not getting a good image with the PARD, then I suspect you don't have it set up properly. This is the recommended procedure: 1. Before attaching the add-on, ensure the reticle on the Bushnell is focussed for your eye, and then adjust the dioptre on the PARD so that the menu text is focussed for your eye. There should be a small screw that stops the dioptre ring from moving 2. Attach the PARD, switch it on, look at the display, and then, using the lens focus control on the underside of the PARD, bring the scope reticle into focus on the screen. 3. Look at the target and adjust the side focus on the scope to bring the target into focus on the screen 4. When you change to NV mode and use the IR illuminator, the side focus will need to be adjusted for the different wavelength of light passing through the scope For the brightest image, have the IR illuminator set at IR3 (full power) and the illuminator lens fully extended (spot) Cheers Bruce

Re-arrange this well known saying - bargepole don't touch with Cheers Bruce

I'm a Nondestructive Testing Engineer by trade and have spent over 40 years looking at and measuring pressure bearing steel tubes with threads on their ends and I'm totally confident that the scenario you describe is about as likely as me winning the lottery every week for a year Cheers Bruce

Sorry, but I'm not convinced by that. Are there any confirmed instances of the scenario you describe actually happening?
