ATN X-Sight 4K Pro Smart Scope 5-20X Day/Night HD Pro DGWSXS5204KP ATN

★★★★☆ It is really surprising. There is a learning curve with it but the videos can really help with that. About the third time out you will start getting the hang of it. The one shot zero is scary easy. As long as you stay on top of the focus you will be ok. The only problem I have is when you go past about 12x it starts getting really grainy at night. Its like the graininess you get when you blow up a picture on your phone. Overall its a good value and does what it says. In fact its like most computers and will probably do more than you can or need to. The videos it takes of the whole hunt complete with voice recording (you can turn off voice) are great. BTW I've got it on a 22 so I haven't used a lot of the ballistic and recoil activated features. I really like the WiFi feature that hooks up to an I pad or phone so a friend can see what you're looking at. Got to have that if anyone is with you or else they would be blind. One more thing. Use the video on updating and installing firmware exactly. I did because I got under the impression that mistakes can be made that can lead to problems. If you want to shoot at night, this is probably your best value for the money.

★★★☆☆ This scope has a great image during daytime, the battery life is great, and I like all the features. There are some issues to be aware of, though. Can't decide if I would have bought it knowing what I know now or not. 1) Firmware is buggy - it locks up regularly requiring holding the power button for 20 seconds to force a shutdown. So far this has only happened to me while configuring it. I have not had it lock up yet during normal use so hopefully this doesn't ruin a hunt. Hopefully, they will fix this in a future update. 2) Nightvision mode is fully dependent on illumination. Without the IR illuminator, it has less sensitivity than your own eyes when set to the maximum sensitivity. Even in partial moonlight, you will need to have the illuminator on. 3) The objective (big lens) is only about half the area of the barrel although the advertising images make it look like a fullsized lens (if you look closely, you can see the real (small) lens behind the shading added to make it look full sized). This, no doubt, is in part why the night vision sensitivity is so poor. It makes it look like a toy and I feel ripped off. 🙁 4) It takes about seven seconds to turn on and be usable. This is a bit of an issue for me since my primary use is against coyotes when they raid my hen house. They don't give you much time so you have to be quick. 5) Buttons are flakey. The OK button often is interpreted as right arrow on mine. Makes navigating the menus rather frustrating. You can get a remote control which I've read works around this problem (I just ordered mine so cannot confirm) IOW: plan on buying a $80 remote control, too. 6) The gun cant indicator is not sensitive enough. You can have a lot of cant (more than enough to screw up your group) before it even registers a change. I am optimistic that many of these issues can be addressed in a future firmware update but suspect I am stuck with the poor night vision performance - it works great with lots of IR illumination so if you don't mind that then you're good. I have an older Pulsar day/night scope which, although it has it's own issues, it has far superior unaided night vision so maybe I'm just spoiled.

★★★★☆ The reviews I read were a little scary but so far so good. It pretty much does what I needed it to do in that it shoots 150 yards in the dark and I see and hit the target. All electronics are buggy to some degree but this scope seems to have more than average. So far I have been able to work through glitches and bugs by restarting the scope. I really do like the long battery life and the recording features are a plus and being able to put the scopes view on a monitor is really cool.
