ATN X-Sight 5-18X Night Vision Scope
Written on Jan 10, 2015
Product was in stock and arrived quickly. The complete instruction manual is online only. Upon taking out of the box company recommended going to their web site to download the latest version of their firmware. Process from download to installation took about 5 min.
Pro's
1. Night Vision- I was very impressed with the quality of the night vision both with the IR light and only ambient light. Even with the small IR light it comes with it still provided great illumination out to 40 yds (I have not had a chance to test out past that distance with IR light)
2. Ability to record video and take pictures in either daytime or nighttime mode.
3. Ability to connect to scope via your phone or tablet to view the reticle and make changes to settings after download the app.
Con's
1. Goes through batteries very FAST even with wireless/GPS turned off.
2. Probably the biggest negative is when you zero the scope the reticle is not re-centered in the screen. If it was shooting low left your reticle will be in the low left center of the screen. If you try to zoom in too much the reticle will totally disappear from the screen. I contacted ATN to as follow up which they stated they were aware of the issue and were working on a fix which would be available in a future firmware update.
Overall for the money it is a great entry level scope for night vision, even better once they get the reticle zero issue corrected.

Review for
Voodoo Tactical 42in Padded Weapons Case
This is my second of these cases, great case for the price, lots of storage compartments for gear and provides great protection for rifle and optics. I have one for savage .308 with 24" barrel and another for 6.5 creedmoor. Both have QD for suppressor and still fits withn the case.
