Reviews & Ratings for SightMark Photon RT 6-12x50S Digital Night Vision Rifle Scope — 2 reviews — Page 1

Love the Photon RT. I've rn the XT for years and the RT has a lot of upgrades over the XT. The view is super clear. I have paired my RT with a predator tactics coyote reaper XXL IR and am able to identify coyotes out to 7-800 yards easily. I typically don't use the onboard IR except for emergency use, but it is good to identify out to 200 and pick up eyes at 300 or so. The RT is super accurate. I'm able to shoot 1/2" groups at 100 yards easily. I have taken coyotes out to 300 yards multiple times. It is easy to sight in and adjust using the one shot sight function. The batteries are easy to change and last a long time when using Energizer litium. It is also able to run off a battery pack. The onboard recording function is easy to use. And videos can be uploaded to a phone or tablet over WiFi using stream vision, or direct hook up to a computer with the supplied cable. The zoom feature is a nice addition over the XT. The zoom is a little grainy, but that is expected with digital zoom. It is also excellent for accuracy on the longer shots. The RT manages IR very well and I'm able to see through brush and into trees for some distance. I have used this during the day and it seems that even the bright sun doesn't wash out the image. It is black and white during the day which is the only downfall. That being said it doesn't keep it from not performing well. If you predator hunt at night this is the scope to have.

Scope arrived Monday, ran out of adjustment and was 6 inches low at 100 yards. Shimmed mount and good to go. Could not get any better than 3 inches at 100 yards (may be the gun) Shot a coyote Monday night at 70 yards. Wednesday shot at one about 100 yards and it ran off. Reviewed video and cross hairs were on the mark at the shot. Not sure what happened. Went shoot at 200 today. 5 shots at 100 about 3.5 inches. Made 2 shots at 200 and the unit turned off. Changed batteries, and still nothing. Spoke with OP and I am mailing it back Monday. At night it worked great, 150 yards easy with onboard IR. It the day its colorless and was pretty grainy at 12x. Will update when new unit arrives
