Atn x-ii 3x14 d/n riflescope - ATN X-Sight-II 3-14x SmartHD Day/Night Rifle Scope

When writing this review it does not reflect the great service and people at Optics Planet. First I would like to say when I opened the package I was delighted to see my money was not wasted on a piece of junk, I mean for a bit over $400.00 your expectations are iffy at best. After going thru a bit of a learning curve I mounted this on my custom built AR-9, it added quite a bit of weight, but I was using a bipod. Now here is one for the books, I set up a target at 75 yards turned on the ATN picked my Reticle and took a setup shot, bang and a bullseye, I kid you not, without any prior sighting in all my shots were a bullseye. 30 shots later the scope was dot on. I had a splatter target with one center bullseye and one on each corner of the target and I was having fun taking out the bullseye like at one of those Carnival shooting galleries. My friends who were with me could not believe the accuracy of this scope. Now for the downfall, at 14x in day the scope had pixelation distortion, not bad but it could be a problem at further distance. The scope froze up on me more time than I liked and I had to reboot it. Now for the night vision, This is where the scope failed miserably, I could not get the scope to perform like it was supposed to. at close range 5 yards the grass was clearly shaped but beyond that there was nothing but distortion, no clear image. No matter what I tried, I could not get this scope to perform. How depressed I was, for the amount of money I paid I got a lemon. I had to return the scope 3 days after receiving it, BUMMER. But I decided to upgrade to ATN X-Sight 4K Pro Edition 5-20x Smart HD Day/Night Riflescope. I'll let you know what happens. maybe I'll do a good u-tube, putting the scope through all the stops.
