The other one is a flir T50.... Works great, mil spec and so on.... But the plastic battery cartridge that holds 3 cr123's cracked... Call flir and told that the $10 part will cost $695. Super glue and jb weld repaired it.

and that's what will happen if it doesn't get settled correctly. This is the one I sold... It was 4 months old, wouldn't sell a malfunctioning optic.
I apologize if it came across as I was accusing you of trying to sell a known malfunctioning unit. Even if it was the same unit, it could have started malfunctioning after posted. I have no reason to question your honesty.

That's just crazy. Guess I'll pass on an ATN optic. Back to the drawing board

I've had no dealings with their customer service, but their advertising is full of fabricated images. Looking through their site I didn't find any of the "through the tube" pics that were actually looking through their product. Most were day photos stolen from photographers websites then photoshopped green. Any actual night vision pics were stolen from military or hobbyist websites and weren't using ATN equipment.

The only legit "through the tube" images I've seen of their products are stuff that end users upload.

Personally, I wouldn't expect much in the way of customer service from a company that markets their products so obviously deceptively.....

After sending 2 back and only dealing with UNV, their dealer was the saving grace, ATN themselves are deceptive as OSO pointed out.

My complaints against ATN are strictly against them. I have had nothing but the best in customer service from every night vision/thermal retailer that I've come across. UNV, Third Coast, ****, etc.

I know Aaron at NCS did (and likely still do- but ask him first) have a happiness guaranty. If you didn't like it, he'd replace/ refund. He is nothing short of fantastic to deal with. Alternatively, you might try one of the places that rent units and apply the rental fee to later purchase.

I'll keep searching. If I pick one out and order it I'll bring it up and let you try it out Frank. If I convince my buddy to get his night vision soon I can convince him to get a different one and have two to try out

Frank, have you ever tried ANY night vision other than the x-scope?

yes sir, some Gen1 and 2 stuff a 750, no thermal. I have a digital monocular and a Gen 1 Russian scope. Since we are not exterminating but taking 15-40 hogs a year for food the cost is prohibitive for most and really the kill lights have served us well. I keep getting asked by other leases and some farmers to do some hogs and deer depredation on their property so thought a thermal or something would make that job easier. If I had the NV equipment I would have more hunting opportunities.
