I just received my new ATN X-Sight that I picked up during a SHOT show special at Primary Arms.
For those that are not familiar with this sight it is a day/night vision digital sight. It is essentially a HD video camera with a crosshair imposed on the image.
My main interest in it was the ability to use it in all light/dark conditions and the ability to record my shots.
Here's a link to the ATN web sight: http://www.atncorp.com/x-sight-night-vision-rifle-scope-3-12x For specs. After reading John A.'s review of the 5-18x model I decided on the 3-13x variant..
This things is so complex this review will be an ongoing work. It's going to take some time to learn all there is to learn about this thing.
Unboxing:
The scope comes with a nice carrying case. It can be used as a stand alone scope of a rifle scope.
All of the controlls are located on top. The menu and setting appear on the screen within the viewfinder.
The large knob is the battery compartment. The smaller covers the HDMI port, SD cart slot and the USB plug, which can also be used to attach an external power supply.
Accessort rail which can be used to attach the included IR illuminator, etc.
This is the included IR illuminator
Scope with Illuminator attached and sun shield installed. The scope comes with a nice alum sun.glare shield tube.
This is the scope next to my Yukon Gen 1 Scope for size comparison.
Honestly this is about as far as I have gotten so far. I did power it up just to make sure it booted and tested out the day/night modes. It seemed to work fine.
Sorry to leave it hanging but as I said this will be a work in progress.
