PARD PANTERA 256 THERMAL RIFLE – SCOPE 25MM LENS

Hunting after dark or surveying property in low-light conditions requires optics engineered to cut through darkness reliably. The PARD PANTERA 256 delivers thermal imaging at a practical magnification level, letting you work effectively when ambient light fails. Before purchasing any optics or firearms in California, understand your local obligations by reviewing California firearm laws. Dealers in Livermore and across the Bay Area stock thermal equipment for legitimate field applications.

Magnification and thermal detection capability

At 3.6x magnification, the PANTERA 256 sits in a practical middle ground—enough zoom to identify targets at distance without losing situational awareness. The 25mm lens collects thermal data across a wider field, balancing clarity with coverage. Focus operates from 5 meters to infinity, meaning close-range and far-range work stay sharp. If you're purchasing through a private party transfer process, verify that your chosen optic meets your actual field requirements before finalizing the deal.
