Awesome and Affordable
I purchased my scope and ABL directly through your website. Below is my review
I did a lot of research on the ATN product, compared it to other devices with similar technology and even called ATN. So when I made my purchase I was confident it was what I wanted. Ordered during COVID pandemic, so shipping was delayed. However, when Fedex rang my doorbell; I was like a little kid again. Excited to finally put my hands on it, I fought the temptation to just dive in without reading instructions.
The instructions are straight forward; and if you have a problem reading the ATN online videos are outstanding. I purchased the Auxilary Ballistic Laser to go along with the scope. I am not disappointed in my purchase at all. All the features and functions worked right out of the box. Not hiccups or glitches. My son and i played with it for about 4-5 hours and battery looks like it did not budge.
I was looking for something inexpensive and well designed to use for hog hunting. ATN nailed it with this design. It is a great addition to my Browning BAR MK3 Wood DBM
Scale 0-5
Looks: 4
This scope is big compared to traditional scopes. Adding the ABL and IR illuminator gives it a beefy look. However, I will use illumator at night and remove during the day time. In my honest opinion, it doesn't matter what it looks like; as long as I get my target
Wieght: 3.5
The weight of the unit is a little heavy; especially compared to some competitors. We are talking 1 pound or ounces. But nonetheless it is heavier. I shoot of a BOG death grip and it is not an issue for me. I know we say every ounce/pound matters when packing out; but realistically you will only notice the added weight when you are holding the aim position for a extended period of time (which most of us do not do)
Functionally: 5
The menus are straight forward and allow you to modify all features with one hand. Quick zeroing and ranging. Mobile app allows for setting changes without having to look through scope. Favorite feature for me is the Ballistic Calculator. It is like cheating on the final exam and getting away with it. You still need to know how to control your firearm, but it takes the math and guessing out of the game. Also love the widgets on the display. You have the option to remove for a more simplistic view.
You have the ability to record on 120fps but you can not stream while recording in this mode. The picture quality on the scope is no different from 60 to 120fps. But 120 allows you to edit the video and view as slow motion.
Built in range estimator is pretty close to accurate. I used my Vortex Razor Rangefinder and compared the distance and it was almost spot on. Not sure if it would have been more accurate, if i were using the deer setting and aiming it at a deer. again we are talking about a yard or so off.
Not water proof but water resistant. This may turn alot of people off, but it is not a need for me.
Software: 5
App does everything you need it to do. The on board OS is pretty smooth. Transitions from live video to settings carousel to actual setting quickly. Changes from range finder or application are almost seamless. The boot time is less than 5 seconds for me. Recording and pictures are sent immediately and view is not obstructed, except for when taking picture (milliseconds).
Picture Quality: 5
Picture quality is pretty awesome. Zoomed all the way in during the at 20x and I experienced very little granulation. It got a little grainy, but I was still able to make out my target pretty clearly at 684yd away. When viewing vid/pic from mobile device i was pretty impressed. Showed my wife and kids and they were amazed how clear the images were from 92.7yds to 500yds.
