Connect the Predator 640 to a Daytime Riflescope
The PARD Predator adapter provides the mechanical link between a compatible Predator 640 thermal imaging front clip-on and the objective end of a daytime riflescope. Its quick-detach format lets the Predator be attached to an existing optical setup while preserving the familiar viewing position of the host scope.
Eight Exact Adapter Sizes
This listing contains eight exact size variants. Each child SKU maps to one nominal adapter size: PRA56 is 56 mm, PRA57 is 57 mm, PRA58 is 58 mm, PRA59 is 59 mm, PRA62 is 62 mm, PRA63 is 63 mm, PRA64 is 64 mm and PRA65 is 65 mm.
Measure the Mounting Area Before Selection
Select the size from a physical measurement taken at the intended mounting position on the riflescope. Do not choose from a scope marking unless it has been confirmed to represent that same external mounting diameter.
Quick-Detach Installation and Alignment
The Predator manual identifies an M52 x 0.75 quick-detach adapter connection. For installation, protect the riflescope's objective end as directed, release the adapter locking lever, fit the selected adapter at the measured mounting point and align the Predator display before closing the lever.
After installation, confirm that the display is centred and that the complete optical system is correctly aligned before use.
Compatibility
Designed for the PARD Predator 640 Thermal Imaging Front Clip-on. Check with PARD before using this adapter with a Predator 480, another PARD device or a third-party thermal or night-vision product.

Installation, Use and Care
- Measure the outside of the riflescope at the intended objective-end mounting position and select the matching adapter variant.
- Before installation, follow the Predator manual and protect the riflescope's objective end with one or two layers of insulating tape.
- Turn on the Predator and obtain a clear display before fitting the adapter so alignment can be checked during installation.
- Connect the adapter to the Predator interface, release the locking lever and position the adapter on the measured riflescope mounting area.
- View through the riflescope, centre and level the display, then close the locking lever without forcing an incorrect size.
- Confirm secure attachment, image alignment and the complete optical system's zero before use and after the adapter has been removed or refitted.
- Inspect the adapter, locking lever and contact surfaces before each use. Stop using it if any component is damaged, loose or distorted.
- Keep mounting surfaces clean and dry, and store the adapter where the clamping surfaces cannot be damaged.
