Joseph, not trying to give you a hard time, but until you show videos of night hunting with the X-Sight 2, which is what it is advertised as, then nothing has changed about the X-Sights from ATN.

Does ATN listen to their dealers and customers at all? It doesn't appear so to me at least. They keep coming out with the same useless features that make the scope more like a smart phone than a hunting scope. Please let them know that ET doesn't need to phone home with this scope, but he does need to shoot at night with it and record while doing so.

Interesting thread.

My nephew and I are both interested in the X-Sight 5-20, but we've decided to wait at least six months and see what actual users report during that time. I want to see a lot of videos of hogs shot at night! If this thing starts getting good comments and nice videos from real customers, we'll seriously consider buying a couple. Meanwhile, I have an early Photon 3.5X which, while it's not color and doesn't record video, has killed a few hogs both during the day and at night. So I'm good for now.

But, keep those cards and letters coming folks! I'm looking forward to hearing from the Early Adopters and then the Early Majority of buyers.

I don't believe you

I will be going out this friday night to pull an all nighter. But the only issue is that I will only be 60 yards away..

Go get 'em!

In my ideal world, I'd like to see some video that shows the shooting area in daylight, with a description of how far away things are, followed up by recordings of shots taken at night. I like a nice slow pan of the area. Heck I get kind of nauseous trying to watch a video when the person recording starts swinging the scope back and forth rapidly, trying to show everything that's in the area. I rate DNS as producing some of the better quality night videos I've seen. No really loud music, sufficient, but not constant, narration, and usually less than three or so minutes long (I get bored easily . . . )
But mainly, good luck to you!

I borrowed a friend's X-sight HD 3-14x for a weekend hunt, and I must say that it was a huge improvement over the gen 1 in almost every way. The night vision was much brighter with the same IR and actually useful in areas where IR reflection was previously an issue. That said, I think ATN is purposely not updating the gen 1 scope to get people to plunk down more cash for the gen 2.
