How much shorter is the new 007 compared to the old one? I tried the original 007 and couldn’t get on with it being so far back.

Original £330 new one £540 

I managed to move my scope forward a bit for the pard to work a compromise between the both

Yerr, I’d considered that idea. Of course, with the new model 007s pard there’s also the option to put your rifle in the river if you fancy. That alone has got to be worth the extra price?

My buddy has prepaid £450 so if you have some healthy dealings with your rfd, there is some profit to chip at and if I do buy one, I will not be paying more than £450........

The new 007s will not be here before Christmas according to the Sportsman.

Last night my buddy and myself went to try the 007a as the 007s was going to be a wish list product BUT we found the unit was anything but ideal with sharp centre image which was about 20% of the screen, the remaining area was blurred so god knows what that was all about.  Before anyone asks, we moved the 007 further away from the scope lens and tested on three other scopes, all were the same result ................................................ Another trip to the rfd today and swapped for the last 008 on the shelf.

This is not my purchase but I felt the stress for him and at last now he has another 008 which he is very familiar with ALTHOUGH this new one is not an LRF however it has a built in range finder but so far he has managed to get it on the screen but how the hell it works,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, well not my problem but it only shows how to switch it on in the manual so some discussion on facebook tonight as well as combing through youtube, ME, well I am going out with my faithfull nitesite which simply fecking works

You need a decent IR with out one imo  they are shit compared to the original one . 
Few mates have the 007a and I have looked through them  and most have another aftermarket ir ,but another £130 for one   . With out them they are awful 

[philpot 4,967]

I don't think it matters now Mitch as he loves his new 008 and the IR range seems superb, far better than his other 008.

If your using a Hawke Vantage "Side Focus" I found them not very good at all, even with the original NV007 models. The Vantage "Front Focus" are much better for the NV007 and cheaper.. Moving upto to an Airmax or Sidewinder also there bot much better than the "Side Focus" vantage models... Like I say the front focus AO vantage is the best cheap option.

I would definitely try a different scope..

My vantage sf works fine with my original pard . I did keep telling Phil they need a decent ir for the newer pards to work

Ian, Mitch............................it doesn't matter as I said, my pal now has a second 008

Yes they work ok, but the cheaper front AO models are noticeably better than the side focus vantage. It wont stop them working or doing what you need though ..
