Hi Jay, I'm pleased you enjoyed the video. I hope you found my comments about the DS35 useful in making up your mind what to go for. I have been a Pard fan since they first issued the N007 P. If you are not too bothered about having a ballistic calculator, I can thoroughly recommend the N007V or the N007SP with the very useful range finder. I find they work very well with Hawke scopes and I particularly favour the Hawke 2-7 x 32 AO for use with the N007 range...just the right amount of magnification at 2x. Another good option is the N008 LRF which I have on my 17HMR.

Cheers for rhat Doug, i think it will be the sp lrf i go for, i like it shorter build than the 007a and v and ill be adding it to an Hawke airmax and ive heard theyre a great add on for those. Hoping to get a permission soon enough to start some night time shooting.

Yes indeed, I use an Airmax and N007SP on my .22 Hornet, it works fine except for one thing ! The top turret cover gets in the way of the LRF, it's fine if you take the turret cap off and replace it when you have finished though.

I did wonder about this. Glad to know that it 'll clear with top turret off! Pard messed up a tad there.

Another great video, not sure if you said what subsonic ammo you were using ? Thanks.

Hi Dee, It came up in the text when I first showed the DS35, Winchester 42 grain hollow point. I also use the CCI equivalent if I can't get Winchester.

@deeparker6109 Interesting, which rifle are you using and what's the barrel length ? I do get the occasional supersonic round but only 1 in 50 at the most on average. Do you use a moderator ?

@@dbppestcontrol5670 It's an Anschutz 1761 with an 18" barrel using a Wildcat whisper. I was getting an average of about 1100 fps with the winchesters, and using Eley sub HP the average was about 1000 and out of 500 I only had one go supersonic. My permissions are near to houses so I cringe a little when I get a banger.

The Winchester 42grain hollow points quote a speed of 1065 ft/sec on the box, but that would have been measured using their test rifle with a given barrel length, rifling twist etc. There would be a variance of actual muzzle velocities for across other barrels. You might find your Anschutz barrel is tighter on the bullet or has other characteristics sufficiently different to their test barrel, to result in a higher muzzle velocity. You would have to test a number of different rounds to see which one suits the barrel in terms of both maintaining the subsonic velocity and accuracy. The Ely subs seem to suit your barrel in terms of muzzle velocity at least. Have you tried CCI ?
