smitty's Review of Sightmark Photon XT 4.6x42S Digital Night Vision Rifle Scope
I ordered 5 days before Christmas. Optics Planet made me a great deal on a combined order of scope, Sightmark mounts and a pulsar X850 IR light to add to scope. It was here earlier than expected, before Christmas.
The scope works great. It does use up batteries pretty fast but with the Pulsar light I figured out a way around that. I just turn the scope on. Not on IR and use the Pulsar light. This works great out to about 120 yards. If I spot something I want to check out better or farther I turn up the Sightmark IR. Then I push the button on scope one more time and go back to just the Pulsar light. I have yet to replace the Pulsar battery and only changed the Sightmark batteries twice since Christmas. I use this every night to look around my chicken house! On the darkest night I have shot a 10 shot group with a 300 BLK that measured 2 1/8 inch from 120 yards. If I take out my two bad trigger pulls it was 1 1/8 inch on a pitch black night. I love it.
When mounting on the Sightmark QD one piece mount I mounted with the same torque as one I mounted for a friend and I noticed a couple of small cracks on the top of the rings. They were still working but I wanted new ones so I called Sightmark and explained what I had done and that I had torqued them to 23 lbs. I said I would buy them if it was my fault but I needed new ones. Three days later I had them in the mail. No charge. This hole package has been one of the best deals and products and service I have seen in many years.
