Noob Question Incoming....

[WETW0RK]

Please forgive my ignorance, I have never seen optics like the one I just saw and I honestly didn't even know the technology was available..? So, I just watched a video where the shooter was using an optic made by ATN Corp. and.... I mean, I'm still speechless. I know, it's embarassing... I feel so old rn. But he shot a group and then (I'm guessing here) put it into like a zeroing mode, which then allowed him to move a secondary X-hair to the intended target, hit "Enter" (or something akin) and VIOLA! Zeroed. Needless to say I'm immediately on the hunt to find one, only to realize these things are way out of my tax bracket. So, my question to the fine folks here at AGN Forums, is:

1) Is there any other manufacturers that make an optic with a similar zeroing system?
2) If so, do any of them offer up said optics for less than $200-300?
3) Is there a similar zeroing system on an optic that does NOT include night-vision? (I'm thinking the NV adds a significant amount to the cost and rn I just don't need it)

Thank you all in advance. And again, apologies for noob questions.

I have yet to see that level of technology for the price range your talking about. Most of the ones I've seen are night vision scopes and in my LIMITED exposure, the cheapest one I've seen (price, not quality) is the One Leaf nv400. It's still above your price range (and mine too).

Just a friendly note, the two-shot zeroing method can be done with a plain-Jane scope as well. Support the gun in a rest, fire a shot, dial the turrets to move the crosshair to the point of impact of the shot. Fire a second shot to confirm, then fine tune.

The trick is keeping the rifle perfectly stationary during the adjustment.

My neighbor taught me this when I first started, however better to take 3-4 shots and use the center of that group as point to which you correct from, unless you're shooting at a distance with pellets that guarantee 1 ragged pellet size hole.

If you have a scope with hash marks just measure with the scope and adjust.

Thank you all for the replies. I do have my current optic pretty well dialed using the standard method of zeroing, however, I need to figure out some way of getting the rifle stationary. With that said though, I'd still love to have one of those nifty new digital systems. Maybe in another 20yrs or so? Lol

I found it to be a neat feature on the Sightmark Wraith. Not perfect though, it usually required a second re-zero to fine tune. There may still be some first gens floating around for under $300. Even the current gen 2-16 is on sale few places under $400. Not too bad.
