Now for those of you who already have your dream rifle what about an upgrade on the optics?

Released this Autumn the Pard DS35 is a revolutionary new optic that builds on the massive success of the NV008s.

The first thing that users will notice is that the DS35 now takes the form of a traditional rifle scope. Core to the new form factor is a world first for NV Scopes, an 800x800px round display. The unique LTPS unit delivers high-clarity images with rich contrast and an extra-wide field of view for enhanced situational awareness. This perfectly formed screen fits neatly in the DS35s eye piece, for an experience close to using a traditional glass day scope. Other advantages include a 70mm objective, 5.6-11.2x magnification range and a 30mm Aluminium alloy body that enables the use of both traditional scope rings and rifle specific mounting systems.

At the heart of the DS35 is a state-of-the-art CMOS 0.001 Lux 2K imaging sensor, which when coupled with the units directional 850nm IR can see user push their night shooting out to 350m and beyond. Clarity is further enhanced by Pards custom developed VLEA imaging engine. This clever software upgrade helps the DS boost clarity by over 20% when compared to the older NV008p models.

Whilst clarity and handling are two of the 35s most obvious features, they are not the only enhancements shooters can expect.

The new kid on the block features a more intuitive one shot zero, where the image shifts to compensate for elevation and windage adjustments.

Like other Pard models the DS35 is a great choice for both day and night use, with full colour image modes available until the darkest parts of the night, at which point users can switch colour pallets for optimal image recognition when they can make use of the units powerful built-in IR.

In addition to improved tech, the DS35 retains all the popular features of the previous models including Wifi Connectivity, self-activated recording and a fully waterproof construction.

Sold As Seen now at Drapers!

We’ve had a large influx of second hand since we first opened in 1975 with our Classic Room being chock-a-block since when your grandad was buying airguns from us and Chris still rocked his moustache!

Now the time has come to put more of a price on these guns as we switch to a more online business so we thought we’d highlight a few things about our classic and sold as seen guns.

What Does Sold As Seen Mean?

Well to put it simply sold as seen means that the guns have only gone through the most basic of testing. We make sure they shoot and mark down the rough power they are shooting at to make sure they aren't illegal and we put a price on them. Simple as. This does mean that these guns Do Not Have Any Warranty nor we will do any tuning or work to them this is because they’ve already gone through our workshop once and have been deemed either not worth a repair or too expensive to offer any warranty on due to part scarcity.

How will I know what the gun is like?

The best thing to do if you are unsure about any of our sold as seen is call 0115 970 2525 this will allow you to speak to one of our very helpful staff members who will be more than happy to talk you through every part of the gun your interested in we will try our very best to highlight any issues with the guns and also point out the ones that are working well to make sure you get a good deal as the cost of living goes up. Remember just because it’s Sold As Seen doesn't mean it’s bad!
