Pard DS35 70 LRF Gen 2 Day & Night Vision Scope Review

Night vision scopes have revolutionised hunting and stalking animals, offering hunters a distinct advantage when the sun goes down. One such innovative device is the Pard DS35 70 LRF Gen2 day-night vision scope, a cutting-edge product that combines precision and technology to enhance your hunting experience

In this comprehensive review, we'll delve into how night vision scopes work, provide a detailed breakdown of the Pard DS35 70 LRF, compare it to other Pard night vision scopes, explore its full specifications, assess its reliability, and explain why choosing the Pard DS35 70 LRF is the smartest choice for hunters.

How Do Digital Night Vision Scopes Work?

Earlier, analog Night Vision scopes work using an image intensifier to capture as much light as possible and convert it into an image. However, the Pard DS35 70 LRF is a digital night vision scope, so does away with much of the bulky analog technology.

Digital image enhancement technology results in smaller, lighter-weight, more versatile night vision devices. With digital night vision, the light entering the objective lens is converted into a digital signal via a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) sensor, similar to those used in digital video cameras.  Digital Night vision scopes enhance any ambient light that reaches the objective lens to provide clear images, even in starlight.

How Does the Pard DS35 70 LRF Work?

The Pard DS35 70 LRF takes night vision to the next level with its advanced features:

• Optics: The Pard DS35 70 LRF boasts high-quality optics, offering a crisp and clear image, even in challenging lighting conditions.
• InfraRed Illuminator: Even in the lowest of light conditions, the DS35’s IR illuminator can support clear night vision by providing additional low light.
• Laser Rangefinder (LRF): One standout feature is the built-in laser rangefinder, which provides precise distance measurements up to 1200 yards. This is invaluable for making accurate shots, especially at extended ranges.
• Recording: The DS35 70 LRF allows you to record your hunts, making it an excellent choice for hunters who want to document their experiences or share them with others.

How Does It Compare to Other Pard Night Vision Scopes?

To truly understand the strengths of the Pard DS35 70 LRF, we have compared it to five other Pard night vision scopes:

NV007V Add-On: a rear-mounted night vision add-on, the Pard NV007V is designed to enhance your regular day scope. It has none of the functions of a scope in-built, unlike the DS35 70 LRF. The sensor is only 1920x1080, providing a lower resolution.

DS35 50RF: Another digital day and night vision riflescope, this model shares the 70 LRF’s IR illuminator capability but has a smaller focal length of only 50mm.
DS35 70 Standard: The 1st generation version of the DS35 70 Gen2, the standard model does not include the IR illuminator, meaning the visibility is greatly diminished when the night is pitch black, due to cloud cover, for example.

The Pard DS35 70 LRF Gen 2 stands out with its combination of day-night vision, rangefinding, and recording features, making it a versatile choice for serious hunters.
