Great piece of technology for the price - ATN X-Sight-II 3-14x SmartHD Day/Night Rifle Scope

If you need a traditional glass optic and your priority is clarity, weight, easy to operate then this isn't the scope you are looking for. If you are looking for an optic with any of the features not offered by a traditional optic then this product is a veritable buffet of options to sample and try out at a reasonable price. I mounted this on a Savage .22-250 to accompany me on a Prairie Dog shoot in South Dakota. Not to shoot prairie dogs as much as to take scoped pictures and video while my friends shot. Another feature I wanted to try is the Night Vision. We stay in a cottage miles out in the prairie with coyotes in abundance. I wanted a rifle that would potentially allow us to take one if it wandered close enough. That wasn't the case BUT we did play with the Night vision capabilities and I was impressed by the ATN's ability to clearly illuminate my friends using the factory provided IR illuminator out to over 200+ yards. Terrain features were not as clear but people and animals were easy to identify and "paint". There was no hiding from it. I'm confident if coyotes had wandered near our camp we would've had one. Other features for ballistics, changing reticle, remote streaming to mobile devices just add to the fun. Would I mount this on my favorite rifle for a big hunt? Not likely. Will I keep it mounted on a rifle just in case opportunity requiring its specialized capabilities presents itself? Absolutely.
