Hope everyone is well since the start of my hobby or any hobby really I have been intrigued by technology so with everything available on the market it always makes me scratch my head and say I wonder how that performs. Being a stay at home dad makes this a hard task but I have been lucky enough to either sell gear to afford these to try out or have great friends that let me borrow what they have to test. So I wanted to test day/night scopes no I haven't tested many but I would like to show the recent ones I have and would like to share some videos to show others and answer questions they may have. The three videos were all recorded the same night all minutes apart so conditions were as close as I could get, I was able to get some gray frogs in frame to show quality zoom ability and sound they were at 25 yards and they are tiny about 2-3". First up is the Pard NV008P the thing I really like about this scope is how compact and light it is also its a all in one package built it infrared light while still maintaining a lighter wight is a HUGE bonus, 18650 rechargeable battery is nice. There are a few things I don't like but they aren't 100% deal breakers, the 6.5x starting magnification is rough field of view isn't the best and can be hard to scan to get on target especially at night but it can function just takes practice and patience. The other thing I am not s fan is the magnification is just a doubler so you only get 6.5x and 13x I also noticed out of all the ones I tested the pard didn't catch the sound as well. Next up was the atn 4k pro wasn't used in the video but I also have the abl for it. You can get these for a great price I got mine refurbished directly from atn but man they are HEAVY add the abl and its even heavier but it does serve a purpose pair it with your ballistics calculator range it and the scope will automatically move your reticle to said distance. The one shot zero is awesome showing 2 reticles at the same time one to keep on center and the other to where your impact was is great, battery life is great lasts a very long time. The button layout is nice and with a little time you can navigate well even in the dark. Things I don't like besides the heavy weight is like most day/scopes you need a light source thats another added weight but when you post up and use a tripod weight isn't that big of a factor, sound drops when you zoom so if you are speaking you need to be mindful of that. In all the videos I took you can see it them get blury inwas just trying to find the best image possible with the focus. I am still impressed with the quality these offer at the price. Last up is one I don't thing alot of people know about and its the accufire noctis tr1 it is still on the heavy side but lighter than the atn it looks more like a traditional scope and most mounts work with it because of that. The things I really like most of all is the clarity of the video is matched by the in screen scope to me it is the best picture, 2 button operation built in memory so no micro SD cards to worry about also easy downloading via the app using wifi, sound does not cut out when zooming, the pip is awesome because you can change the magnification of the small window which means you can keep you bigger screen at base magnification 3.8x and have your PIP at any magnification for 11.8x all the way to 22x. Now a few things that need to be mentioned and hopefully will he addressed in future firmware updates the reticle that has hash marks for holdovers does not show up on video playback sometimes key to check shot placement. Instill need to spend more time with it but it has 2 reticle types traditional and ballistic when using traditional its kind of like the atn where the reticle moves but because this is geared to powder burners to me the adjustments weren't fine enough need to test it more so instead I used the other reticle profile where you can input your x and y. This has not ballistic data or range finder option and not sure if it ever will but this scope has some serious potential if they iron out some of the little things. Sorry this was very lengthy but hopefully it may help someone else and please feel free to reach out with any questions want specific weights, pictures of what they really look like, measurements feel free.
