Personally speaking from recent experiences with 22LR, I had way more successful nighta using sub 12ft pcps on rabbits than a 22lr, simply because its stealthier, and unless we are talking perfect windy conditions then they all just run away! But same time I had a lot of fun taking out rabbits at max distance possible with the .22 but watch for ricochet!!! It’s a dodgy round at times 

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

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

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 & 70m


Oh i have fitted a green 37mm filter, this much improves the loss of vision due to light from the unit
eBay 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

Roger

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

cheers

Try here https://riflemags.co.uk/anschutz-magazines/

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

The quietest and most really subsonic/accurate round I have found is the RWS subsonic hollowpoint.It will generally hold an inch at 75 yards most of the time.If you want the best and most accurate 22lr ammo then all the match ammo is subsonic or rather should be so check out eley match/tenex or lapua midas offerings.If you want or think that .22lr hollow point ammo does hollow/soft/ point or ballistic tip centrefire type rapid expansion ,,,its way way short of anything like it.

I have retrieved shot hollowpoint heads from various materials out to 100 yards and they plainly do not reliably deform anymore than match type heads so I would and do use match ammo and head shoot all of the time,,,? regds,,,O

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
