I do not have a Pard NV008 currently, but I did. I also have a ZB lite base and an Eaglevision mount which I kept. Yes, the ZB lite zeroing base is virtually unobtainium any more. The requirement to re-shim when moving from gun to gun (unless you get lucky) and the lack of a dedicated app are the Achilles heels of an otherwise fine product, for its price. A good factory mount, a phone app, and a Shader 8 would make it perfect. Yes, you want a Shader 8. Because I have the ZB lite and Eaglevision mounts, I plan to buy another PARD with the lrf (mine did not have the lrf), as soon as the Shader 8 I have ordered comes back in stock.
