....the rings wouldn't fit..... - ATN ThOR 4 4.5-18x50mm Thermal Smart HD Rifle Scope

ATN are the only "night vision" anything, that I've looked through since the early 90's. Of course, this is my 1st thermal scope, so I was stoked to put it on a rifle, ASAP! I put on bases, Weaver flavoured. No good. They wouldn't sit in the shock restraint, because the shoulder of the stud that drops in was too large. Hmmm, must be they are Picatinny and NOT Weaver??? I went and bought a P/W, one pce rail. And they fit this one, just like they did the 2pc base. I had to provide proof of purchase, after trying to download newest firmware, and registering the scope with them, the evening prior. IDK if I would have had this problem if I bought it through ATN, but I was told ATN couldn't sell it to me at a price I could get it elsewhere. And supposedly this was the same salesman I bought an IR scope/binos from 2-3 yrs ago. ATN is gonna send me rings that will fit, at no cost. But the cost of rings, from the 300$ differrnce, and there would still be a bottle left over, and then some!
