I was enticed to purchase this scope with laser rangefinder due to the lower price and long list of features. I also watched a number of Youtube reviews which were complementary of this scope, I now expect they were paid endorsements.

The scope image locked up (froze) several times within minutes of turning the scope on. ATN tech support advised that I needed to update the firmware. I did and the problem got worse. ATN tech support contacted again, he advised that there is a new firmware not yet on the website. He helped guide me through the update process. The update was completed successfully but when the scope was turned on it crashed immediately and would only show a black screen. ATN advised that I should send it in for repair; I chose to return it for a refund. I don't want to own a $4,300 scope that is subject to becoming worthless with the next firmware update.

Positives:
1. Price
2. Features (one shot zero, recoil activated video)
3. Ballistic calculator
4. Menus easy to access an to navigate

Negatives:
1. Cheaply made, little attention to detail
2. Unstable operating system
3. Image on viewfinder is unclear/foggy in the center even after both focuses were adjusted
4. Scope was aligned poorly when mounted on gun. After sighting in the scope, the reticle was significantly off center. Shims were needed to properly align scope/reticle with gun
5. Rangefinder would not align with scope reticle. Hard to tell what point was being measured.
6. Made in Chin
