    Atn xsite 2

    I am looking at an atn xsite 2 3x14 digital night vision scope. I am basically wanting soemthing to be able to shoot too 100 yards at night. The main reason I am looking at this scope despite its mixed reviews is the ability to stream what the scope sees to a phone or iPad. The benifit here is my #1 young huntress daughter can accompany me on what I see.

    It appears these can be scored for around 470 bucks. But my main concern is I have never used one before and have read mixed reviews. Does anyone have experience with this scope.

    I looked through a buddy's. Keep in mind it would be midrange price for standard optics, so factor in the electronics, youre really getting a low quality image compared to glass. He's shot it with success, so I'd say they work, just don't expect a high quality image.

    I can't comment on the night vision, but based on price, I'd want to see image quality at 100yds before buying.

    Thanks for feedback. I am more looking for something my daughter and I can have fun with shooting pigs out to 100 yards at night without having to spend the coin for 2 pvs14 monoculars. I only plan on using it at 3 power.


    Did you look through it at night?

    I bought an x-sight II for the same reason that you are wanting one. May I recommend that you get these items because this thing will eat AA batteries.

    Atn sells something similar but it's about $30 more and the battery isn't as good. Also get at least a 64mb micro SD card. Here's a tutorial on what to do with the sugru:
