Very diappointing - ATN PS28-WPT 1x Clip-On Night Vision Rifle Scopes

When this first came in, I was super excited because I have never owned any kind of night vision. I was on my way to go deer hunting, so I took it with me so I could see how well it worked. Before the sun came up and after it went down I could see very well through my scope with this mounted in front of it. I thought I had found the night vision setup that I had been waiting a long time to get.

After returning home, I took it out to shoot after dark. Luckily, I started at 25 yards, because it was HORRIBLY off. I was not even on paper at 25 yards as it was hitting above my paper target and likely would have gone over my berm at 100 yards which is where I have my scope zeroed.

I reached out to Optics Planet the next day, who advised me to call ATN. I called ATN, and the only advice that they had was that it might be the height of my scope mount since I mounted this in front of my scope on the rail. So, I ordered a 268 dollar mount from LaRue that is designed to mount your scope at the same height as night vision devices. I got the mount in this week and remounted my scope, then took it to the range today to sight it in.

After zeroing my gun, I thought I could use the lens cap being on and shoot the gun with the ATN PS28 WPT in place. There are two pin holes in the cap, and I could see two targets when looking through my scope. Since I did not know which one to shoot, I decided it would be best to wait until dark and try it like I would if I were hunting. I set my target up at the bottom of the 5 foot tall target stand, maybe a foot or so off the ground. I tried shooting the target from 100 yards, which was almost a huge mistake. Instead of hitting the bullseye, or the paper target for that matter, I ended up hitting the top crossbar of my target stand, which meant that I almost shot over my berm! I was hoping that this would hit my zero as promised, but would have settled for several inches off as I could handle using some Kentucky Windage for any night hunts that I was on. Instead, I was hitting somewhere around 40 inches high!?! There is no way that I can adjust for that at night.

Just so you know, this is not some crappy rifle setup that I was using either. It is a Savage MSR 10 Long Range with a Vortex Razor HD Gen II 4.5 to 27 by 56 with match ammo. I can stack holes all day long, just not at night with this thing. The worst part of is that I bought this for a hunting trip that I am going on this Thursday with my friends, so I guess I will just get to hunt mornings and evenings and leave the nights to them. I will be calling Optics Planet tomorrow to work on getting this returned. I would give this zero stars if I could, as there is no use for it if I cannot even hit the broad side of a barn with it in place. I guess if you are just wanting to nature watch and not use it to shoot anything, then you can give it a star.

Also, just to double check, I also tried it on an AR 15 with an Aimpoint red dot, Larue mount, and an AAC 300 blackout with a Vortex Strike Eagle, Vortex mount, and it hit high with both of those rifles as well.
