Description
SB17 – QD Dovetail Mount for PARD NV008 Night Vision Scopes
Quick Detach | Precision Dovetail Interface
The Contessa SB17 QD Dovetail Mount for PARD NV008 is a precision-engineered quick detach mounting solution designed specifically for PARD NV008 night vision scopes that utilize a dovetail mounting interface. Built for secure engagement, fast removal, and consistent repositioning, the SB17 provides a stable and repeatable connection between PARD digital night vision optics and compatible rifle platforms.
Manufactured by Contessa Alessandro & C., the SB17 incorporates Contessa’s proven QD locking system, allowing the optic to be mounted or removed in seconds while maintaining consistent clamping tension. This makes it ideal for users who alternate between day optics and night vision, transport optics separately, or move a NV008 scope between compatible rifles.
As a dedicated mount, the SB17 ensures correct geometry and alignment for the PARD NV008 platform, eliminating the compromises often found in universal adapters.

Construction & Performance
The SB17 is manufactured from high-strength materials and finished to Contessa’s exacting standards. The dovetail interface provides a rigid mechanical lock, while the QD system ensures consistent engagement each time the mount is installed. When refitted using a consistent mounting procedure, the system delivers repeatability suitable for night vision optics.
As with all dovetail-based systems, final return-to-zero performance depends on rail tolerances and user technique, but the SB17 is engineered to provide predictable and reliable results in real-world use.
Contessa Quick Detach System
The Contessa QD system allows shooters to swap optics efficiently, move a PARD NV008 scope between compatible rifles, and maintain operational flexibility without permanent mounting—an important advantage for night vision users.
Night vision amplifies what’s already there. The mount’s obligation is to stay exactly where it was.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is the SB17 compatible with all PARD NV008 models?
The SB17 is designed for PARD NV008 night vision scopes that use the standard NV008 dovetail interface. Always confirm your specific model before purchase.
Does the mount retain zero after removal?
When installed using a consistent mounting procedure, the SB17 offers repeatability suitable for night vision use. Minor point-of-impact shift may occur due to dovetail tolerances.
Is this a universal dovetail mount?
No. The SB17 is a dedicated mount for PARD NV008 scopes, designed for correct fit and alignment.
Can the mount be transferred between rifles?
Yes, provided each rifle uses a compatible dovetail interface. Consistent installation improves repeatability.
Is professional installation required?
Professional installation is not required, but careful mounting is recommended for optimal performance.
