Not the night time stuff... The daylight or illuminated reticale ones...


Thanks for your help!

i have sold dozens and owned 2 myself. i find them to be very solidly constucted and well worth the money. the BDC type are very precise when using the correct load. furthrmore i think the finish is, bar none, the best on the market. similar to the crincle finish on the M1a scout rifle. a kinda textured matte black.
the reflex sight is also exeptional.

I had an ATN scope with an illuminated reticle. I think they are a decent value but they do have some drawbacks.

They are very heavy for the amount of magnification that you get.

The finish on mine wasn't that great. It melted from contact with CLP.

Mine had the BDC but I never used it so it was kinda wasted.

The optics are not bad for the price.

The illuminated reticle was very bright. You could really see it at even the lowest setting.

The rings that came with it were junk. They stripped out when I installed it the first time. You can get better rings, though.

If you have any other questions about them feel free to PM me.

I bought one of the 5x33s for my AR but I decided I prefered an traditional optical sight if not the iron sights. Mine is plenty bright and the compensator is pretty much dead on out to the 300 yards that I've tried it to using 64 Gr Power Points. This is shooting at known and marked distances. I've never used the range finding lines on the bottom. I had a friend volunteer (with the gun unloaded, of course, but I just can't bring myself to point my rifle at a person. :(

I bought mine used, for a very good price. The only problem I've had with mine is the reticle doesn't light up on about the number 5 power setting and all the ATN scopes I've looked through are clear in the middle but are much less clear at the extreme edges of the glass. And if you move the rifle up and down or left to right, the reticle seems to stray from it's original location in the glass. Hard to explain. I wouldn't let this stop from recommending them but is worth mentioning.

I don't know about their scopes but i attended a class with a couple of LEOs that had them and was very unimpressed. Both of them had problems zeroing and one would not hold zero. In addition they didn't look that sturdy, tho neither broke during the class.

I don't see much advantage in being able to change reticle types and there could be a significant disadvantage if the zero changes which i suspect it would.
