My Anchutz 1417 with an Atec-Wave & subs is as quiet as many air rifles, i shoot sub 12 fac .20 air & 22LR. Originally with a superb home brew NV, sold last week i now have a Pard 007 but rarely use the record facility & never the red dot

I realise its an old post but is this still available Ta Roger

My Anschutz 1416 came with the vantage rimfire. poor in low light 60m> & not good with NV either. So sold it on. I how have an MTC Mamba lite, its much better with the Pard 007, but still not brilliant @ extended ranges with the 007. Ok for daylight though I have tried a Bushnell Legend SF HD, super day time but very poor with the 007 I zero to 60m so most quarry out to 70m is point n shoot

lost my Lil Larry earlier this week, whilst out with the NV.I ordered a Big Larry 2, this is excellent, bought via ebay seller in Kings Lynn ( eBay item number 163896130100 ) The real good feature is the red stays on as required, all lamps can be dimmed & even "programmed" to turn on to your pre set settings.This version has a white light on the top, so like a conventional torch + the magnetic base that is great for working in the car boot hands free I have also found out, press & hold the on/off button for 3 secs & it goes straight to fixed red.added I have now added 3Ms reflective tape to the body in case i drop it at night

I got my first Charlie last week @ 30m with the LR, it looked up over a ditch bank straight at my rifle scope + Pard 007 , "wide eyed" & i aimed between them, it no doubt saw the 850 IR

I lifted it from the Airgunforum

I have just sold a T75mm 940 unused from Customriflescopes ( it was in with the new pard 007 bundle ) on ebay & the fellow is claiming "it isnt a bright as his £10 torch" 😆 & wanted his money back. i answered all his claims & have lodged a counter claim. So even dumbtwats with 1200 ebay feedback ,cant see the 940 either 😁 Deer can certainly see 850 on the Pard 007, one stood watching me the other night whilst i was out on rabbits.

Update i now have a MTC Mamba Lite 3-12 x 42 sf & the picture quality is so much better than with the Legend 4.5-16 x 44 sf hd. Downside is the range finder flashing is far less bright than with the Bushy Bushy Legend https://studio.youtube.com/video/68lMgOsn9kU/edit Mamba https://studio.youtube.com/video/JnEW8vQ01Ek/edit

The first 2 outings with the 007, i really struggled with it, mainly the picture reproduction, my home brew is very clear optics & the kevgun pill in the T38 + youkon doubler was exceptional.Some of the trouble was also fiddling with the record button, i have never recorded & really dont need or want too BUT its there init, it cost me about 5 bunnies all told.Over the w/e i had advertised the 007 i had only had it a week from new, but thought i would give it one more chance, as the battery life is very good, the battery life on the HB is exceptional but the torch used a lot of power as its "over clocked" pill.The 007 with IR only consumes much the same as the T38 & its much easier to set-up & fewer bits, just the 007 unit & range finder.So it has had a reprieve ( for now )Got 2 this evening at approx 50 & 70mOh i have fitted a green 37mm filter, this much improves the loss of vision due to light from the uniteBay item number:382794565802

That torch is seriously over priced

well im going to give it another go, sans SD Card, the record button cost me 5 bunnies last week

Well been out this evening with the home brew, i did take the 007 on a MTC Genisis 3-9 x 40 just to try, i know it a cheap scope but results even @ 30m were poor. The home brew is far clearer, i could see leaves moving on trees @ 50m , the only constraint was IR as my best IR pill, has gone duff, so on reduced power but it still exceeded the 007 for clarity. Very disappointing & im not going to spend even more £s on another scope just to see if the 007 can be improved Oh i got 3 rabbits @ 50,60 & 70m with the home brew

went out last night, pix qual no better but found the set-up is very "range" critical" to get a better pix, but still very grainy. Still not convinced with the 007, i will be out tonight with the home brew. I have now got the 007 set-up on a MTC Genesis 3-9 x 40 fixed focus, just to see is the clarity is any better , if so i will adjust out to 60m When i bought the rifle it had a Hawke Rimfire scope, that struggled at 70m in 1/2 light, so its got a new owner

Thanks Bruce, done all that. Home brew clear 007 grainy, Im out this evening on the bunnies, so will check settings

Hi all i have a Anschutz 1417 with a Bushnell Legend 4.5-14 x44 HD SF. Up to now i have used a home brew NV with it & its excellent although bulky & takes a bit of time assembling & take down in the dark. I have a new Pard 007 & the optics are poor & grainy but its easy to set-up & also used as a spotter. So the question is, what reasonably priced scope will be better in your opinion tia Roger

Try an 8GB card ( recommended by Ash of custom rifle scopes ) , 32 may be too large for the 008 to cope with

That is one inexpensive rifle & a real bargain I bought mine early April & it has accounted for over 250 Bunnies Good luck with the sale

I have an Anschutz 1417 with an Atec - Wave Mod & find RWS HP Subs very quiet & accurate, in fact i only ammo i now use. I found Winchester Subs very noisy & the sound rattled off the trees near by, followed by CCI, Eley then RWS The 1417 with RWS HP is quieter than my Rapid 12/200 fac with a Huggett & that is far from noisy
