ATN X-Sight 4K Pro

Absolutely fantastic!This is my fourth ATN scope. I started with a first-generation X-Sight and then moved on to two 4k X-Sights. I’ve been using this scope for a few months now, and it’s incredible—worth every penny. The optics are crystal clear, and the reticles are easy to use, providing clear visibility during the day and night. The accuracy is dead on.The integration of the range finder and scope makes this a formidable tool. Simply measure the distance by pressing a key, and ensure that ballistic calculations are active. Done!I’m particularly impressed with the battery life of this scope. The first-generation models required external power, but this one doesn’t show any battery usage after an entire night in the blind. The build quality is solid, and it looks fantastic on my precision rifle. With this setup, I can confidently shoot feral hogs in the head at 200 yards, even in the dark. The picture is incredibly clear and defined, which is why I prefer this setup for static hunting (like from a blind) over a thermal scope on an AR.

This thing is amazing! An affordable option if thermal is out of your price range. I love the user interface, very easy to use. The night vision is pretty darn good with the IR light that came with it. I coupled it with the ABL and with the Bluetooth connection to the ballistic calculator on the scope, you almost can't miss! I love it. I would definitely do it again. 5 STARS for sure.

PREFACE - Before buying I literally read every single review on Amazon and read countless others on other websites, along with numerous videos. So below I will also address some of the previous concerns I’d read about from other reviewers (Spoiler Alert – ATN has obviously fixed or corrected everything thing that I’d read about). ;-)NIGHT VISION - Is Amazing!!!Basically, the night vision I’m seeing certainly seems to be VERY comparable to other “Night Vision” Scopes that cost MUCH more ($2K to $3K). So I am VERY impressed so far. Also unlike “regular optical night vision” (which is green) this system (which looks gray scale) does NOT get damaged if left out in the sun, nor does it have to be protected from light. Plus, the same scope is used during the day (double bonus). And, even when the infra-red illuminator is OFF…I was actually surprised…it was still MUCH better than I thought it would be (it does NOT need much light to be effective). So then, when the infra-red Illuminator is turned ON (even at its lowest power)….it really lights up everything like it is daylight when it is pitch dark. I am SUPER impressed. It’s so good, I’m going to mount it to Quick Disconnect Rings, so I can use it as a Night Vision Monocular (even when not attached to a firearm or airgun.MULTIPLE ‘PROFILES’ -What a game changer…something only a digital scape can do. Essentially, a person can enter different Profiles for different firearms or Airguns and/or ammo…and with a Quick Disconnect (sold separately) it with be a cinch to switch.MICRO SD (sold separately, I got a SanDisk Ultra Plus 64GB)It is important to READ all instructions (which I did), where my friend did not. He and few reviews said they had Micro SD problems…well it’s important to do the Formatting in the Scope (it likes that). Plus, it will also be nice, as a person can "backup" their profiles to the Micro SD card, too.FIRMWARE UPDATES -Again, it’s important to READ all instructions…every single thing I’d read about or saw as an early model 2018 “glitch” has obviously been addressed with Firmware Updates. There was a Firmware Update for mine…and right away I got a super cool “Smart Reticle” that I did not have 1 minute earlier. So follow the instructions. And that “Smart Reticle” changes as you Zoom…again, things that only a digital scope can do.TWO (2) LIL’ ISSUES - That Oliver Vallero at ATN Corp Clarified and Fixed for Me…The USB A to USB-C charging cable that came was way too big to fit in the Scope’s USB-C slot. My buddy that also bought one, a day after I told him about mine…his also came with a USB-C that was too big. He and I are both Apple Techs, so we know it was not a matter of being tight…it was too big. Yet, being and Apple Level III Tech we both had other USB-C cords I/we could use until Oliver sends out a new cable. Plus, I supposed I could have cut away on the plastic on the USB-C end, but I’ll wait and see. 2nd thing…Oliver mentioned that the Manual’s suggested torque of 38 in.-lbs. was too MUCH for the Fixing Screw. So for everyone out there use 22-25 in.-lbs. / 2.485-2.824 Nm for the 30mm Scope Fixing Screw…and for the 30mm Scope Ring Screws, use 15 in.-lbs. / 1.694 Nm. Then finally, for the Infra-Red Illuminator use 22-25 in.-lbs. / 2.485-2.824 Nm for the Fixing Screw, and the Infra-red Illuminator Ring Screws use 12 in.-lbs. / 1.355 Nm.PHOTOS & VIDEOS -I’m really not planning on using it for photo’s or recording video to the SD card (but broadcasting to an iPad might be interesting with shooting buddies).WI-FI & ATN OBSIDIAN 4 App (Tips & Tricks) -The Obsidian 4 App is great for me and works GREAT with the iPhone 11 Pro. I’ve got it set up with a mount that holds my iPhone 11 Pro around my neck and puts the screen where I can see it like a heads up display w/no-hands…so for hunting rats at night…I just put the Umarex Synergis w/ATN X-Sight 4K Pro on a Tripod w/a Vanguard U-Yoke ($14.99 w/Free shipping) and I do NOT even have to look through the scope…I can just watch my iPhone and when the rats come out…POP. This is sooooooo cool! Well, that was long and detailed, but that’s me…hope it helps others! :-)

It had to happen somewhere down the line... After 11 years of Amazon membership, I finally hit the worst manufacturer/seller ever. Ladies & Gentlemen: ATN. I got this scope for Father's Day, mainly because of the features it promises, but I found this product to be unreliable. Right out of the box, firmware update did not work. Shipped with firmware already updated? I'll never know. They'll never tell me. But I assumed it was, so I started using it. Third day of use, IR illuminator broke. I called ATN, and they sent me a new one in 3 days. That was fast & good, however, I never got to use it because I had already installed on the scope one of my own illuminators. The interface is friendly and the buttons are easy to use. Focus is not clear when you zoom more than 8 in day mode. Obidion App and WIFI worked well, and so did picture and video functions. Battery life is good. Zero in worked well too, but needed recalibration often. SMF red light prevented the compass from working. (I chatted with an ATF "optic specialist" about this issue, who admitted he had no idea about how to fix it). Range finder function never gave me a decent reading. I didn't use the ballistic calculator feature, so I couldn't say. I used night vision at short range for pest control purposes (25, 30 yards or so) and it worked just fine. This thing needs a complete and detailed user manual, which is not provided. Rings are cheap and have to be adjusted with a screw driver (rings with clamps for quick connection are sold separately). IR illuminator is cheap and low quality. Battery charging cable is good quality, but no charger is provided. The scope comes with no lids, which is unacceptable at this price range. This thing is very heavy, so you better watch the weigh of your rifle... Since I got it, I just used the scope a few times in the last 4 or 6 weeks. 5 days ago was the last one. I turned it off and hooked the cable to charge the battery. I turned it on while charging in order to check it was charging (there is no charging indicator when the device is off), but the interface was gone. Just the screen on. No zoom, no focus, no interface. Nothing. Tried to contact ATF again. The scope does not deliver what it promises, but the worse thing is ATN. They do not care about customers. You chat, it takes an eternity and they end up telling you to call the 1 800 #. I called the number, no one ever answered. I called Amazon and through their intervention, they finally answered, asking me to fill in a form at their website so they will email me a return label. So I did. ATN website promised they would send me a return label within 24 hours... That was 5 days ago. The second day after filing my return claim, the guy on the chat said: "It's taking 2 business days to email you the return label now because of the COVID. So, I waited 2 days, but no return label was sent to me. Then, I called again, I chatted, I called again, and again, and again. No answer, no answer, no answer. I got upset. I wanted my money back. I called Amazon again and even though my return window had been closed 2 weeks ago, they accepted the return as long as I paid a restocking fee, which I did gladly because it would end this nightmare with ATN, a company that does not care about customers. THANK YOU AMAZON!!
