PARD Pantera 256 Mini 25mm Thermal Riflescope

Driven hunts and close-cover shots leave little time to find the animal in the scope. PARD built the Pantera 256 Mini for that work, inside 100 m: a 256 × 192 sensor rated at ≤15 mK behind a 25 mm lens at 3.6x, a 1920 × 1080 OLED and a day-scope shape that weighs 500 g with its battery. PARD rates detection at 1,200 m.

Key Features

• 256 × 192 at ≤15 mK. An uncooled vanadium oxide (VOx) detector with 49,152 pixels at a 12 μm pitch and a 50 Hz frame rate. PARD rates it to separate temperature differences as small as 0.015 °C.
• 3.6x and a 7° field. The 25 mm lens shows a 7° × 5.3° field, about 12.3 m by 9.2 m at 100 m, and focuses from 5 m to infinity with a side focus knob. The 3.6x base magnification is optical; the 2x, 4x, 6x and 8x digital zoom steps enlarge the pixels at the center of the image, which makes the subject look bigger without adding detail. Eye relief is 50 mm and the diopter runs from -5 to +5. The Pantera 256 Mini with LRF adds a 1,000 m rangefinder in the turret. The Pantera 384 Mini 25mm moves to a 384 × 288 sensor for a wider 10.5° × 7.9° field at 2.4x.
• Ballistic calculator. A ballistic calculator is built in.
• Reticles and display modes. Six reticle styles in red, white, yellow or green, five image modes (WT-HOT, BK-HOT, RD-HOT, IN-HOT and SKY), three scene modes, picture-in-picture and hot track.
• Record the shot. Recoil-activated and loop recording save photos and video at 1920 × 1080 to a microSD card of up to 128 GB. Wi-Fi connects to the PardVision2 app, and a gyroscope and an electronic compass are built in.
• Built for recoil and weather. An aluminum alloy housing sealed to IP67, rated to 6,000 J of recoil and -30 °C to +55 °C (-22 °F to +131 °F). One 18650 battery runs it for up to 5 hours, with external power over USB-C.

Ideal For

• Driven hunts and fast shots inside 100 m, where PARD optimized this scope.
• Light rifles, with a 500 g scope in a day-scope shape.
• Hunters who don't need a rangefinder, with the ballistic calculator still built in.
