ATN OPMOD X-Sight 4K Pro 5-20x70mm Smart Ultra HD Day/Night Hunting Rifle Scope w/ Free Battery Pack
Please save your money, I am now on my second ATN. You would think I would learn after the first. These are pieces of junk, will not last more than a year. Now I only used this scope a couple of times to sight it in, then put the rifle in gun safe, and 11 months later took it out to use, well battery was dead, did a charge up. two days later went to the range and the scope was dead. Charged it up again and it will not focus in from 6-20, all blurry, nothing seems to work. I first had the ATN x pro 3-12 Day/Night scope, and that was returned after I noticed at 12 power it was grainy, on full charge. 2 strikes, thats it I will never buy any ATN product again $800.00 down the toilet..

Ultra Shot
Written on Feb 14, 2019
This sight has its downfalls, it does not have a on and off it has a one hour auto shutoff, which is good but I still prefer a manual shutoff. the choice of reticle options is one reason I bought this sight, they are clear and distortion free. There are plenty of MOA adjustments and it locks to the rail strong and true. but the demons of Reflex Sight shows here the Parallax is unacceptable for me. I noticed that if I did not rest my cheek the same position every time the shot would be off. Even a slight movement of my cheek I noticed the reticle shift. Sorry to say that this sight has poor parallax shift. I will be returning this sight.

SightMark XT-3 Tactical Magnifier

SightMark XT-3 Tactical Magnifier
SightMark really drop the ball with this magnifier, I just received the magnifier and SightMark Ultra Shot A-Spec Reflex Sight SM26032 in the mail upon setting it up I had to keep on moving it up on the rail to get the right eye relief. Was not impressed, the locking latch sticks out so much I can not charge my AR-15. Why they have this locking arm sticking out so far is beyond me. The eye relief is very short, unacceptable for me. The mount is of good quality and flips to side very well with no wiggle. I would suggest they redesign the locking arm so it does not hang out so far from the body. I will be returning this magnifier.

ATN X-II 3X14 D/N RIFLESCOPE
Written on Nov 12, 2018
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 lemo

Primary Arms 1-8 x 24mm LPVO Rifle Scope
I zeroed this sight in with a laser. Was not able to really test it at the range because of Spinal Surgery. when I took it to the range, mounted on a custom built AR-15 with a match grade barrel. the scope would not keep a zero. I thought it was human error, a $1200 scope that once zeroed, and 2 shots later, was off 4 inches. 90 rounds was all over the target. I removed the scope and placed an Eotech EXPS3, what a difference, 1/2 inch MOA at 75 yards. 90 rounds later I shot out all the centers of the targets. I removed the Eotech and put the PA back on, and it was all over the target again, even when mounted on a sled. I do all my setups with a solid sled. This is $1,200 of junk. I buy most of my scopes on Optics Planet. This Primary Arms Platinum Series 1-8X24mm FFP Riflescope was purchased May 15 2017 as a Birthday gift to myself. I bought the PA scope and a Sig Sauer Tango6 2-12x40mm Riflescope. thats over $2,000 and the cheaper Sig is a better scope.
