Would anyone know if the Pard008 will still be in production or will it only be the range finder version? I set my scopes up for MBPR so don't really need the range finding. Having said that this night vision malarky is new to me so perhaps I may be missing a trick. Any advise would be very welcome.
Thank you.

Both versions of the NV008 will continue to be available.
Sportsman Gun Centre have just become the sole importer and distributor for PARD products, but don't appear to have any stock as yet.
I understand Blackwood Outdoors have some 008s on the way from China, but not sure if it will be a mix of standard and rangefinder versions or just rangefinder.
Used 008s pop up regularly and are usually a good buy

Cheers

UPDATE: Jthyttin / Bob57 / phoenix Bruce / russdouglass222 / warbucks
To all that advised me on my night vision questions. I have ordered the new Pard007oled from Blackwood outdoors. My reasoning is as follows. I have never used NV so am experimenting and have two rifles. I have put Hawke 3-9x 50 PA scope on my 22 rimfire which will work for now. Should I get on with it, I will buy a Hawke with SF put this on the 22 and move the 3-9 x 50 onto my 222. This gives me the option to keep my day scope for Roe deer, when I get up to my sister in laws in Glenrothes. This way I get the best of all worlds, a spotter, day scopes and NV for rabbits and the odd fox at night and the capability for shooting Roe in Scotland.
I have taken in everyone's advice and looked at everything I can on the net and various forums, at different makes and solutions.
I can't thank you all enough for your advice based on your experience which has been invaluable. NV is without doubt a mine field which to someone new to the discipline could be very expensive and not necessarily correct for your individual needs.

Many thanks

Ray
