Reviews & Ratings for ATN Thor320 1x Color Digital Thermal Image Weapon Sight — 6 reviews — Page 1

This thing is incredible! I have an ATN NVG scope and this thing blows that away! It is beyond belief and explanation how awesome this thing is! I'll admit, the zoom leaves a little to be desired, but I mounted it in front of my already zeroed scope on my Bushmaster 5.56 and it works incredible! Able to hit a coke can sized object at 200 yrds in complete darkness. I am blown away not only by this product, but Optic planet's service! I will ALWAYS be using this company for all my optic needs! They are beyond reproach!

If you are pondering this purchase, just pull the trigger, you will NOT regret it! But also get a C123 battery charger and a few rechargeable batteries, available online for pretty cheap http://www.batteryjunction.com/6rcr123a-combo.html. I am still using the provided batteries after at least 6 hrs of playing time (zeroing and fooling around) and they are still kicking.

Zeroing was a bit of a pain, the target is just one big square. Ending up firing a shot, then looking through the spotting scope for hit. Took a bit, but got it sighted in at 100 yrds on a the AR and Tikka T3 .270 Win.

Even though this unit is the "lower cost" version of what ATN can create, don't sell it short. The unit is very capable for hunting and security applications. The microbolometer core performs as advertised with mulitple targeting and color field options. Overall, well worth the purchase, just pricey. I would like to see a core that can run off of AA batteries like the PVS-7 NVGs, but the Thor power supply apparently needs a ton of power to run properly, thus the Lithium Ion battery requirement.
Pros: Great object discrimination. Stable. Fast refresh rate.
Cons: The unit can only be used incrementally or the operator will quickly use up batteries. Can use only Lithium batteries and not AA. Rechargable Lithium batteries may damage the unit.

Finding targets is a little difficult, I use frozen water tubing hot water bottles. Rechargeable batters are the way to go I now have 8 in rotation . mounts on .308 and has returned to zero each time.
Pros: An exelant peace of hardware
Cons: AA battery pack it not avalible at this time

This device is the best of those that I have had. ATN Corp is the best!.
I recommend that you.

I really like the Thor. As advertised, easy to use, have had about 1 month. It is expensive and requires federal forms. Will definitely help keep the garden free of unwanted four leggers.
Pros: As advertised, easy to use.
Cons: Battery hog, expensive, federal forms req.
