Pard Pantera 256 Q

• 256×192 thermal sensor: The compact sensor format keeps the scope light and efficient while still giving clear heat contrast for short- to mid-range hunting and pest-control work.
• 25 mK thermal sensitivity: A low NETD helps the Pantera 256 Q separate small temperature differences, so animals, tracks, and background detail remain easier to read in damp air, brush, or uneven terrain.
• 50 Hz refresh rate: Fast image refresh makes panning smoother and target movement easier to follow, which matters when scanning field edges or tracking moving game.
• Side focus knob and 3.6× base magnification: The daytime-scope-style layout gives more familiar handling and quicker image adjustment, while the native magnification supports deliberate shot placement without starting too wide.
• 490 g aluminium housing: Low weight reduces rifle bulk and fatigue, and the metal body is better suited to regular field use in cold, wet, and rough conditions.

About the Pard Pantera Series

The Pard Pantera series is a family of thermal imaging riflescopes built for hunting, with an emphasis on familiar scope handling rather than a handheld-style layout. In PARD’s lineup, the series sits as a dedicated thermal sighting platform for users who want a conventional riflescope form, practical controls, and integrated digital functions for field use after dark. The design is centered on a rotary control turret for menu navigation, helping operation stay simple when visibility is poor or gloves are in use.

Across the series, PARD combines thermal imaging with features that matter in real hunting conditions, including recoil-activated video recording and Wi-Fi connectivity. The Pantera family is also built around a durable mechanical concept, with IP67-rated protection and stated recoil resistance up to 6,000 J, making it suitable for regular use on hunting rifles. Depending on model, the series is offered with different sensor resolutions, and some versions are available with or without an integrated laser rangefinder. The result is a thermal riflescope range aimed at hunters who want a dedicated sight with straightforward ergonomics, weather resistance, and digital support features that fit real shooting use rather than bench-only operation.

About the Pard Pantera 256 Q

The PARD Pantera 256 Q is a compact thermal riflescope built for hunters who need a lighter, simpler setup for shorter to moderate engagement distances. Its 256×192 VOx uncooled sensor, 12.00 μm pixel pitch, and 25.00 mK NETD work together to present useful thermal contrast without adding unnecessary bulk or power demand. In practice, that makes the scope well suited to spotting heat signatures along hedgerows, over bait sites, or across open ground where quick target confirmation matters more than extreme long-range identification.

The optical layout starts at 3.60 x magnification with a 25.00 mm objective lens, giving a more deliberate sight picture than a true 1x-style thermal while still keeping enough field coverage for scanning and shot placement. A stated 122.00 m/1000m field of view and 1200.00 m detection range support practical observation in mixed terrain, while the OLED display with 1024×768 resolution provides a crisp viewing image with good contrast in darkness. The multi-reticle system with 5 reticles and illumination lets the scope be matched to different rifle setups and aiming preferences.

Mechanically, the Pantera 256 Q stands out for its side focus knob and compact body. That control placement gives a more familiar daytime-scope feel and makes image adjustment easier from the shooting position. At 490.00 g and 295.00 mm long, it keeps overall rifle weight manageable, and the aluminium housing, waterproof and fogproof construction, 18650 power supply, and up to 6.00 h battery life make it a practical choice for regular night hunting in cold, damp, and changeable conditions.

About PARD

PARD is the registered product brand of Shenzhen Puleide Technology Co., Ltd., a company established in 2017 and based in Shenzhen, China. The brand focuses on electro-optics for hunting and outdoor use, with a product range that includes night-vision scopes, clip-ons, monoculars, and thermal-imaging devices. Its better-known night-vision lines include the NV007 and NV008 series, while its thermal range extends across families such as the SU, G, TA, SA, and TS series.

Within this category, PARD is known for building compact digital and thermal optics that combine practical field features with accessible controls. The company identifies dual-light fusion and ballistic calculation among its core technologies, reflecting its focus on devices that do more than simply display an image. That background makes PARD particularly relevant in thermal and night-vision hunting optics, where users often want a balance of manageable size, integrated recording functions, and purpose-built low-light performance.
