Noah’s Kit Journey: From Basics to Bespoke

Product Reviews

Noah’s Kit Journey: From Basics to Bespoke Everybody loves shiny new kit! Let's face it everybody loves shiny new kit! Whether it's the pleasure of ownership or an improvement in performance you are seeking, we can’t get enough of it! Below are my thoughts and tips on selecting gear and the journey that has taken me to my current set up. Number one, don’t let the “I don't have all the right kit” excuse stop you from starting competitive shooting, especially PRS or PR22. A lot of shooters will have a .22LR in the gun safe, no matter what it is, it's a perfect place to start. I am a right handed shooter and I started with my Dad’s left handed gun, as that’s what we had. Mum and Dad have a rule that we can't have new kit/gear until we have been doing something regularly for a year, so that was that. Precision Rifle .22LR (PR22) or NRL22 is the most cost effective way of dipping your toe in Precision Rifle Competitions, so let's look at what you need. Firstly, shoot what you have, don't rush out to buy new gear… Firstly, shoot what you have, don't rush out to buy new gear even if you have the budget. Take your time to understand and find gear that suits you and that you like. Everyone is different and has different goals and aims, from just having fun to serious international competitors. The best way to get your hands on most things is at a competition, everyone is more than happy to talk about their set up, lend you gear to try and even shoot their rifles. Be careful though as there is nothing quite like shooting a full “Race Gun” and it could get expensive very quickly… The basic set up is a .22LR rifle scope preferably in first focal plane and in Mils, but don't worry if yours isn’t, 2 mags, a rifle bag, and some way of calculating D.O.P.E. There are a number of free apps available on the various app stores. The rest can typically be borrowed at any match. Rifles - If you have a .22LR rifle then perfect just start with what you have. If you are looking to buy then there are a number of avenues and a couple of things you need to consider. As always, the budget is where most people start. Rifles can be picked up for a few hundred pounds to thousands! Probably the most common two manufacturers are CZ & Bergara for off the shelf “Factory” rifles. I started with a Bergara B14R Trainer, we chose this, as it was a Rem 700 platform, & was similar to our Bergara HMR in 6.5CM so would allow for easier transition to centrefire, That was our thinking at the time. Also being a Rem 700 platform it gave us access to a wider range of aftermarket parts and upgrades. Since then more and more CZ (and other manufacturers ) aftermarket parts and upgrades have become available. Alan Rowe who shoots in the Factory Division and in the UK Team, was using a CZ 457 LRP, would regularly beat Open shooters with rifles that were a magnitude more expensive. It definitely is not all about the rifle. Half way between an off the shelf and full custom build. Once I started to shoot more and more, realised that I loved the sport and made the UK Junior Team, Mum and Dad broke their golden 12 month rule and we looked at a few upgrades. Probably the next step that most people take once they decide Precision Rifle is for them is to look at upgrading from a standard stock to a competition chassis and this was my next step. Simon Armstrong from Jackal Firearms loaned me a right handed Bergara B14R barrelled action for the PR22 Worlds Championships. This opened up another way of getting a more custom rifle, half way between an off the shelf and full custom build. Having just the barrelled action allowed me to select the chassis of my choice. Having tried a number of different options I selected an MDT ACC Elite Chassis. The main benefits of a competition chassis is being able to adjust it so it fits you and your body shape, being able to balance the rifle with weights so it stays on target with minimal input, all of which help with building a stable firing position. Also, a built in Arca rail so accessories can easily be attached, such as bags and bipods. More and more chassis are coming onto the market with various inlets so they fit a wider range of actions, which is great for the sport. Meaning that more people can take their barrelled action out of their standard stock and drop it into a custom chassis. Some manufacturers also offer competition .22LR barrelled action, such as Bergara. So if you want a more custom rifle but have a lower budget, this may be a good route to consider. The Full Works…. After nearly 2 years of shooting and competing in PR22 and PRS we finally took the plunge and had my full custom rifle builds made. At this point I had tried a lot of different set ups that other competitors had been shooting and formed an idea of component parts that I liked the best. I already had an MDT ACC Elite Chassis and I was super happy with it. It was a Rem 700 footprint so that pushed me down the path of a Rem 700 action. After trying a Zermatt Arms RimX there was no looking back! It was super smooth and amazingly accurate when combined with a Phoenix 1:12 24” Barrel. I had been shooting a Trigger Tech Diamond 2 Stage trigger, it was one of the upgrades we made for the 2023 PR22 World Championships in Italy. I then had the opportunity to try a Bix N’ Andy Tac Sport 2 Stage trigger and instantly preferred it. The level of adjustability was amazing and allowed me to to set it up to just how I liked my trigger to feel. The other major investment was in a new scope. Luckily the The Great British Shooting Show was coming up and we decided to spend a day looking at every manufacturer on our short list. We made notes on every scope we looked at based on optical quality, feel of the turrets, minimum parallax (as we wanted one scope for PR22 which on occasion is sub 50 meter range and full bore) , field of view and reticle options. We had also spent some time speaking to shooters that used the various scopes on our shortlist to get some real user feedback. After a lot of time and research there was one very clear winner for me, the Zero Compromise Optic 527 with a MPCT 3X reticle. It had a reputation for being absolutely bomb proof, amazing optical quality and I found the MPCT 3X reticle super fast to read, which sealed the deal for me. So in summary, the most important thing is just getting shooting and competing! Just shoot what you have and have fun. My advice would be to try everything you can get your hands on and upgrade slowly over time. There will always be something new and shiny coming out the next “game changer”, until the next one comes along. Noah Rifles are all built by Mike Norris at Brock & Norris- Zermatt Arms RimX Action .22LR, MDT ACC Elite Chassis, Phoenix 1:12 24” Barrel with a Brock and Norris custom tuner, Tier One Mono Mount Scope Rings, Bix'n Andy Tac Sport 2 Stage Trigger with Flat Blade and ZCO 527 Scope. Zermatt Arms TL3 Action, 6.5CM, MDT ACC Elite Chassis, IBI 1:7.5 26” Barrel with a APW Break/Tuner, Tier One Mono Mount Scope Rings, Bix'n Andy Tac Sport 2 Stage Trigger with Flat Blade and ZCO 527 Scope.

ZULUS HD V2: The Ultimate All-in-One Day & Night Digital Scope ZULUS HD V2: The Ultimate All-in-One Day & Night Digital Scope The digital optics world has just had a major upgrade - and it’s available now at Optics Warehouse. Introducing the ZULUS HD V2 Series, featuring the fully enhanced ZHD312R-V2 and ZHD520R-V2 models. These scopes aren’t simply refreshed - they’re a complete reimagining of what a day/night digital optic should be. Designed using feedback from real shooters and built for the harshest conditions, the V2 range delivers professional-grade performance, crystal-clear visuals, and field-ready practicality, all at a price that challenges the high-end competition. Whether you're lamping, stalking at dawn, or stretching out targets at long range, ZULUS HD V2 is built to adapt and perform. What Makes the ZULUS HD V2 Series Stand Out? In a market filled with digital optics, the ZULUS HD V2 sets itself apart by focusing on the features that matter most in real-world shooting scenarios. Here's why it deserves your attention: 1. See Clearly - Whatever the Light With its Sony Starvis 2 sensor, 1920×1080 HD resolution, and smooth 60 Hz refresh rate, the ZULUS HD V2 delivers exceptional clarity day or night. During daylight hours, expect vibrant, natural colour and edge-to-edge sharpness. When darkness falls, the advanced digital night vision engine takes over, exposing details that would be lost through traditional optics. Whether you’re scanning woodland at dusk or covering open fields in total darkness, this scope ensures you don’t miss a thing. 2. Built-in Laser Rangefinder with Ballistic Calculator (R Models Only: ZHD312R-V2 & ZHD520R-V2) Precision matters - and ZULUS delivers it with a built-in laser rangefinder capable of measuring out to 1,100 yards. Combined with an onboard ballistic calculator, it gives you instant, accurate shot data right on-screen. It’s an ideal tool for both hunters and long-range shooters looking to make confident, calculated shots without fumbling for separate equipment. 3. Quick Zeroing & Picture-in-Picture View Thanks to the One-Shot Zeroing function, setup is quick and fuss-free. Once zeroed, the scope offers a clever Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode - displaying a magnified aiming window while keeping your full field of view visible. That dual-view targeting interface gives you greater situational awareness without sacrificing accuracy. 4. Long-Lasting Power for Long Sessions Powered by a 21700 rechargeable battery, the ZULUS HD V2 offers up to 10 hours of continuous runtime - more than enough for a full outing, day or night. Charging is fast and convenient via USB-C, and the removable design means carrying a spare is simple if you’re planning extended time in the field. 5. HD Video, Playback & Wireless Streaming With 32GB of built-in memory, you can record and playback your shots in full HD quality - perfect for reviewing your performance or capturing footage of the action. An enhanced Wi-Fi module allows for live streaming to a connected device via the app, turning your phone or tablet into a remote display or playback hub. Ideal for sharing the moment, training, or simply revisiting your best shot. 6. Tough Enough for Any Conditions The ZULUS HD V2 isn’t just clever - it’s tough. Designed for real-world use, it features: - IP67 waterproofing - Shock resistance up to 800Gs - Operating range from −20°C to 50°C Whether it’s hammering down with rain or you're shooting in freezing conditions, the ZULUS takes it in stride and keeps you operational. ZHD312R-V2 vs ZHD520R-V2 – Which Should You Choose? Both models share the same robust features, with slight differences to suit your style of shooting: Choose the ZHD312R-V2 if you prefer a wider field of view and more flexibility at closer to mid-range distances. Opt for the ZHD520R-V2 if your focus is long-range accuracy and target identification at distance. Final Thoughts: Premium Features Without the Premium Price Tag The ZULUS HD V2 range is a bold step forward in digital shooting optics, combining clarity, functionality, and rugged reliability in a truly accessible package. With industry-leading sensors, real-time ranging and ballistics, HD recording, and all-weather durability, this scope is built for shooters who demand versatility, performance, and confidence in any light. Whether you're in the field, on the range, or operating after dark, ZULUS HD V2 sees what others can’t. Available now at Optics Warehouse. PREORDER yours today and experience a new standard in digital day/night vision. READ ARTICLE

The Richard Utting Blog - Spring 2025 SharpShootingUK Spring 2025 Blog Well, 2025 has all been about the new Calypso Mini AB ultrasonic wind meter and the newly sorted Applied Ballistics Quantum app. Historically cheap apps have had perfect results when used properly (this keeps me very busy on my ballistics training days!) but only to the end of a G7 drag model’s data, namely 1500fps remaining speed. For transonic and subsonic shooting, one needed Applied Ballistics hardware, which includes drag that covers the whole speed range, namely a Kestrel or Garmin AB device, which is much more expensive. With these MILSPEC devices, one gains hardening, battery life, and general toughness but loses a phone app’s large and clear touchscreen display. With the new Quantum app, you get transonic drag (CDMs) and some other very advanced features, on par with a Kestrel and Garmin, but for £20. So I’ve been busy teaching clients how to use this excellent new app, which, in addition to its full feature set, is easy to use and navigate. It also has some new features like cloud syncing, profile sharing, etc. It also integrates very well with this clever new AB ecosystem-compatible wind meter from Calypso. Essentially, the mind meter is pointed to the target and then provides perfectly accurate relative wind direction and wind speed 1 and 2. In AB devices, this is auto-updated in the device after certain intervals, depending on the device. Some are about instant, and some are up to 5 minutes. Some devices allow ad-hoc polling of the meter, also. I’ve just done a video on this subject on my YouTube channel, if you fancy more detail. As ever, there are some technical idiosyncrasies you have to navigate around. Modern long-range ballistics is a technological, data-driven endeavour and creating efficient workflows to best use your instruments and your time and attention are key to getting the job done fast and smooth and stress-free. We have also all fallen for the NightForce prism when we eventually run out of elevation. You can add 20 or 30 moa to your rail, 20 or 30 to your mount, but sooner or later, you still run out of lob. Sure, most rifles will get to a mile this way, but sooner or later, we all run out. So now you’re into mount-tilting mounts such as Ivey, Era-Tac, etc, but these have a big disadvantage. You are tilting the scope down more and more, and eventually it hits the barrel. Your eye-line is now awful, too, as the back of the scope gets higher and higher. I long suspected that we’d end up using prisms instead. So the NF prism duly came along, available in 50 and 100 MOA. One simply whacks it in front of the scope, and it gives you 50 or 100 MOA elevation. They’re magic because they just work, not perfectly aligned? Which Picatinny slot do I use? What about windage error? No, just put it anywhere in front of the scope and it works perfectly every time. Want to lend it to your friend? Sure, clip it on and away he/she goes! I love them. I’ve also taken a few of my ELR clients out past our previous past of 3036y to a new 3232y target, where we got impacts and managed 0.4MIL (just over a MOA) vertical dispersion, which we will try to better when we have a less vile tailwind, and have created a new 3520y (2miles) I will be trying next week, with my best String ELR of the Year 2024 award winner, Henry, with his 37XC. As always here, I’ve taken a lot of “normal” clients out to the half MAO at 1209 target with their Creedmoors, trued a lot of ballistics, reverse-engineered a lot of different winds and had fun with Enfields, rimmies and such. I am also retesting the new little Labradar LX radar. This, with the latest firmware, now supports G7 reverse-engineering, down-range energy, is more sensitive, faster and all in all a much more competitive device. It’s a shade more money than the Garmin, but it does more. I like it more and more. We are indeed spoilt for choice these days. Loads of clients have ticked off the Mile, which is now doable easily with a good Creedmoor. And folks with magnums can just keep on truckin’ past the mile. Scope-wise, I’ve just uploaded to YouTube my 2024 dialling scope roundup from £500 to £4500. Every year, the order changes and the scopes get better, mostly from the bottom up. Indeed, Optics Warehouse, ever interested in what’s hot and what’s not, sent me the new £650 Arken EP5 7-35, which is somehow even better than the 5-25, which itself was so shockingly good that the whole scope industry reverberated. This shockwave forces manufacturers to do better, cheaper. WULF, OPW’s brand, then created the Defender 2 at sub £500! Which is a great little scope - I can attest to the thought and effort they put into the design. I spent hours with OPW just discussing the finer points of reticle design. I used a Defender 2 on an ELR rimfire, ending up at 414y and it embarrassed an old NightForce NXS 8-32 my client was using. The simple fact is, these days, if you choose correctly, several sub £700 scopes chew and spit out some of the old £2000 Alpha scopes. Features, certainly, glass too. Amazing stuff. The weather on the Moor, as you can see from the photos, although it has broken now, was relentlessly perfect for months! Good times. And when at home, the shooting doesn’t stop. Here’s my lad Stan chilling in the hammock, but still keeping an eye out for branchers, and showing how trigger discipline starts young. As ever, all the mentioned kit is available to demo at SharpShootingUK and available to buy from Optics Warehouse. Thank you so much to Richard for writing this fantastic blog.

Real-World Review: Top Digital Night Vision Scopes Put to the Test Real-World Review: Top Digital Night Vision Scopes Put to the Test Night vision reviews In the ever-growing world of digital night vision, specs on paper can only tell you so much. That’s why we went beyond datasheets and marketing claims to conduct a real-world, side-by-side field test of some of the most sought-after night vision scopes available today. From entry-level models to high-performance 4K optics, our goal was simple: show you how these devices actually perform when it counts—in the field, under identical conditions, with no fluff or factory tweaking. Whether you’re a beginner looking for an affordable entry point, or a seasoned hunter in search of top-tier clarity, this test was designed with you in mind. The Scope of Our Evaluation Before we dive into the footage and findings, let’s be clear about the purpose of this test. We’re not here to crown a single “best scope.” With different price points, sensor types, optical ranges, and form factors, each of these scopes serves a unique purpose. Instead, we focused on fair, side-by-side field testing, using consistent conditions and factory default settings to see how these units hold up in real-world shooting scenarios. In short: no fluff, just field results. Night Vision Scopes Tested We tested a strong line-up of scopes covering a range of budgets and use cases: Sightmark Wraith 4K Max 3–24x50 (£299.99) · Sensor & Imaging: 4K CMOS sensor delivers high-definition image capture; impressive pixel density for a budget-friendly unit. · Zoom Range: 3–24x variable zoom provides solid flexibility for both close and mid-range shooting. · Display & Clarity: Sharp display under ideal lighting; begins to show digital noise under low ambient conditions, but remains usable. · Design: Traditional riflescope shape with a built-in video recorder and IR illuminator; intuitive button layout. · Value Proposition: Offers arguably the best entry-point into 4K night vision without a premium price tag—ideal for newcomers or casual users. · Limitations: Larger footprint and heavier than some compact models; battery life can be a consideration during extended outings. DNT Optics ZULUS 3–12 (£499.99) · Sensor & Resolution: 2K sensor delivers reliable detail in practical ranges; not true 4K but holds its own in most shooting environments. · Zoom & Field Use: 3–12x zoom is well-suited for woodland and mixed-terrain scenarios where quick target acquisition matters. · Build Quality: Ruggedized chassis with user-friendly control scheme; designed for harsh conditions. · Display & Visuals: Clean, clear image at sub-70m ranges; performs well in mixed light thanks to adaptive contrast. · Standout Feature: A go-to “all-rounder”—not flashy, but extremely dependable with good IR illumination. DNT Optics ZULUS 5–20 (£399.99–£499.99) · Sensor: Same 2K sensor as the ZULUS 3–12, but optimized for longer-range engagements. · Magnification: 5–20x allows for extended target identification beyond 100m while maintaining clarity. · Use Case: Best suited for open field shooting or longer hedgerow lines; sacrifices field of view for detail. · Performance at Range: Capable of picking out foxes and rabbits well past 100m; reticle remains sharp even at high zoom. · Ergonomics: Similar build to the 3–12, but slightly bulkier due to optics package. · Tradeoff: Slightly narrower field of view; may require tripod for best performance at higher zoom settings. Pard Nightstalker 4K 70mm (£749.99) · Sensor & Optics: True 4K sensor paired with a 70mm focal lens gives exceptional clarity at medium to long range. · Design: Ultra-compact body with a circular AMOLED display, making it feel like a hybrid between a traditional optic and digital device. · Eye Relief: Optimized for centrefire rifles—offers standard eye relief that suits high-recoil platforms. · Field Performance: Excellent clarity at 70–100m, with a clean image and minimal digital artifacts even in variable lighting. · User Interface: Streamlined menu and fast IR tuning make on-the-fly adjustments easy. · Strength: Balanced performance in a field-friendly form factor; performs better than bulkier rivals in mobility-focused hunts. Pard Nightstalker 4K 100mm (£749.99) · Lens & Range: 100mm objective lens improves long-range visibility significantly; great for spotting and ID past 150m. · Sensor: Same 4K sensor as the 70mm model but tuned for extended range clarity. · Best Use Case: Ideal for spotting predators in open terrain or down long fencelines where detail at distance matters. · Image Quality: Arguably the crispest detail in this lineup at extreme distances—resolution chart performance was best-in-class. · Drawbacks: Increased lens size makes it heavier and slightly slower to bring to eye; less agile than 70mm. HIKMICRO ALPEX A50T (£399–499) · Sensor: Uses a proven HD digital sensor (not 4K) with excellent contrast and detail reproduction for the price. · Reputation: Considered a dependable “workhorse” of the night vision community. · IR Performance: Strong factory IR illuminator performance; holds up well in near-total darkness. · Ergonomics: Familiar riflescope-style design with robust dials and tactile feedback. · Battery System: Long battery life via external packs or swappable units; great for all-night control work. HIKMICRO ALPEX 4K A50E (£699–849.99) · Sensor: True 4K digital imaging, optimized for low-light with high dynamic range. · Target Use: Built with predator control and mid-range foxing in mind—excellent for spotting subtle movement in brush or field edges. · Clarity & Definition: Rich color tones in day mode and crystal-clear IR night mode; 4K image quality clearly noticeable during playback. · Scope Body: Sleek and rugged, with intuitive turret placement and streamlined controls. · Image Stability: Maintains a stable, detailed image even at mid to high zoom levels. · Special Feature: Digital zoom transitions feel smoother and less pixelated than competitors—important for active scanning. HIKMICRO ALPEX 4K LITE (£499–649.99) · Design Concept: Slimmed-down, lighter version of the A50E for mobile use and lighter setups. · Sensor: Still features a 4K sensor, ensuring strong resolution and impressive light-gathering power. · Compactness: Designed for shooters who are on the move—easier to balance on lighter rifles. · Performance Edge: Retains much of the image clarity of the A50E while being less fatiguing for handheld or mobile work. · IR Compatibility: Pairs well with external IR illuminators if needed; flexible enough for semi-professional use. How We Tested To ensure consistency across all units, we developed a fair and replicable testing setup: · Targets: Steel Hardox targets at distances from 10m to 80m · Resolution Chart: Placed at 70m for detailed clarity assessment · Settings: All units used factory default settings—no manual adjustments, no image enhancements · Lighting: Identical low-light conditions across tests · Process: Power on, record footage, aim at identical targets This approach allowed us to compare apples to apples and show exactly how each scope performs out of the box—just like a real user would experience in the field. Performance Insights & Key Observations Image Clarity The 4K units (Wraith 4K, Nightstalker series, ALPEX 4K models) unsurprisingly delivered the sharpest images. Fine detail in the resolution chart at 70m was more discernible compared to 2K or non-4K models. That said, image clarity alone doesn’t tell the whole story—field of view, magnification stability, and low-light contrast all played big roles. Target Identification Across 10m to 80m, longer focal length scopes (like the Pard Nightstalker 100mm and ZULUS 5–20) offered better identification at distance but sometimes suffered from narrower fields of view and slower target acquisition. The ALPEX 4K LITE stood out for striking a great middle ground: lightweight, fast to aim, and still sharp enough for precise ID. Low-Light Performance The Pard Nightstalker 4K 70mm showed strong performance here, with excellent light gathering despite its compact size. The Wraith 4K Max, while affordable and capable, showed slightly more noise in low-light scenarios compared to higher-end models. Usability & Ergonomics The rounded display on the Pard models felt intuitive, especially for shooters used to traditional scope formats. The ZULUS and ALPEX lines offer more conventional squared-off digital displays, which worked well but could feel more “techy” than “tactical” to some users. Final Thoughts: Choosing the Right Scope for You There’s no universal “best” scope—but there is a best scope for your specific needs. Here’s how we’d break it down: · On a budget? Start with the Wraith 4K Max. Incredible value for true 4K clarity. · Need versatility? ZULUS 3–12 or ALPEX A50T are reliable and adaptable. · Going long-range? Choose between the Nightstalker 100mm or ZULUS 5–20. · Want best-in-class 4K? Look at the Pard Nightstalker 70mm, ALPEX 4K A50E, or ALPEX 4K LITE. Please note all the above information is accurate to this date 05/06/2025 READ ARTICLE

Compact, Capable and Budget-Friendly: A Look at the Pard Night Stalker Mini

Product Reviews

Compact, Capable and Budget-Friendly: A Look at the Pard Night Stalker Mini Compact, affordable, and surprisingly capable — the Pard Night Stalker Mini continues the trend of delivering functional night vision optics without breaking the bank. While its compact design may suggest it’s best suited for air rifles, a closer inspection reveals a versatile performer that is more than the sum of its parts. Out of the Box As expected from Pard, the Night Stalker Mini includes a neoprene cover, Picatinny mounts, a lens cloth, and user manuals. To keep the price competitive at around £340, it doesn’t include an IR illuminator. However, it does come with a replacement ring cap featuring a Picatinny rail, allowing easy attachment of an external IR without occupying valuable scope tube space. Specifications and Features Although the spec sheet doesn’t feature any groundbreaking advancements (with one exception), the Mini still manages to feel like more than the sum of its parts. Image quality is solid, and when paired with a high-power IR illuminator, the Mini can reach impressive detection distances — I personally achieved around 400 yards. Specification Details Resolution (pixels) 2560 × 1440 Eye Relief (mm) 100 Frame Rate (Hz) 60 / 30 (Colour / Mono) Diopter Adjustment (D) -5 ~ +3 Objective Lens (mm) 35 Reticle Style 6 Optical Magnification (x) 3 Battery Type Lithium-Ion 18650 ×1 Digital Zoom (x) 2 Operating Time (max, h) 6 Field of View @100m (Horizontal) 9.9 m Field of View @100m (Vertical) 9.9 m Degree of Protection IP67 Recoil Resistance (Joules) 6000 Focus Range 5 m – ∞ Net Weight (with battery, g) 455 Side Focus: A Unique Touch One feature that truly sets the Mini apart is its side focus. This is the first digital scope I’ve used — and possibly the first available in the UK — with side focus functionality. It allows for smooth focusing from as close as 5 metres all the way out to infinity. In use, I rarely needed to adjust it, as the small objective lens provides a generous depth of field. When I did, the focus dial was smooth, though a little vague at times — making it easy to overshoot the sweet spot. Versatility Across the Board Despite its size, the Night Stalker Mini is far from a one-trick pony. It’s easy to assume it’s limited to air rifles, but in reality it’s capable of much more — including foxing, daytime stalking, and general vermin control. When paired with a powerful IR, it holds its own even at longer distances. The main limitation is low-light performance. At dawn or dusk, users will either need to switch to night vision mode and use an IR, or simply wait for better ambient light. Our Recommended Uses: Ratting Foxing Rabbitting Plinking Pest Control Daytime Stalking Vermin Management Summary The Pard Night Stalker Mini is a compact, affordable digital optic that punches well above its weight. With a reliable image, long-range capability when paired with a strong IR, and unique side focus control, it’s a standout option for those looking for budget-friendly night vision with real versatility. The only real drawback is its reliance on IR in low-light scenarios — but for the price, it’s hard to fault. [YouTube video review coming soon — link will be added here] READ ARTICLE
