The Airgun Show - night vision rat hunt with ATN X Sight, PLUS the LED Lenser P7QC Kit on test 

Hi William, and thanks. I will certainly be heading back there. Cheers. Mat

Hi Mark, and thanks. Hope you get on well with it. It's a very good setup as long as you're not after extreme range. Sounds like you got a good deal. Cheers. Mat

Thanks for the reply Mat. Really impressed with it. No long range use it's only for short range ratting possibly using the red light on dim. Thanks again mate.

Thanks Mark.

Thanks. Good luck with it. Cheers. Mat

Thanks very much, Glen. Cheers. Mat

It is a fantastic job, Terry. Mind you, the pressure can build towards deadline time if there's not much about - and shooting with a cameraman peering over your shoulder takes a bit of getting used to. All the best. Mat

Thanks. If it's presented side-on, then I'll usually aim to strike just behind the eye. All the best. Mat

Very tough call. Both are great but they are quite different. The ATN is brilliant if you have a gun you can set up specifically for night work while the Nite Site is a fantastic solution if you want to convert a standard day scope for NV work at night. Only downside with the NS is the head-up shooting position because of the screen. All the best. Mat

Thanks very much. We'll keep it up! All the best. Mat

Thanks Lee.

Thanks. Difficult choice, though I do like the fact that you don't have to shoot head-up with the X-Sight. All the best. Mat

Hi Dan. The mounts used to attach the X-Sight are not SportsMatch. It's the ATN X-Mount. Not cheap but has a great quick-release mechanism. All the best. Mat

Hi John. I got it off Amazon a couple of years ago. Can't remember the model name but it cost about £10. All the best. Mat

Got one Mat, came this am, sturdy, easy to operate:)

I get on very well with it and have had no problems. The important thing seems to be to keep the firmware up to date - that seems to have ironed out any of the early glitches that some people reported. All the best. Mat

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm ordering the 5-20 version today. Should be the same electronics and firmware

They are worth it when they are working, I sold a customer an ATN Device that eventually developed a fault not because of poor manafacturer, the Tube was blown through the customers miss use. Could I get any sense out of the ATN Company [no way] other than a rough quote of in excess of £1,000.00 for repair plus get an Export licence back to the states from the UK plus an Import licence into the USA, Night Vision is a controlled device and comes under very tight movement orders, Prior to this I contacted the Irish distributer and was told by them to get lost because It didn't get supplied by them, fareplay? so contacted the German Distributer who gave me the USA contact email...IT NEVER GOT REPAIRED AND STILL SITS BROKEN TO THIS DAY IN THE CUSTOMERS DRAW AWAITING A FAIRY GODMOTHER TO FIX IT. Was a good bit of kit while it worked and cost £2,300.00 new, since then my valued customer has bought 3x Pulsars from me and is very happy with them.

No problem. You'll need a Picatinny/Weaver to dovetail adaptor, and there are numerous more affordable options than the ATN X-Mount. The links below should help: www.tacticalscope.co.uk/rail-risers-adapters-bases-and-barrel-adapters-126-c.asp www.ant-supplies.uk/rails-and-adapters/

Thanks Rick.

Hi Bill. Glad you're enjoying the videos. Sam's answer to your question is absolutely right. Cheers. Mat

Usually wherever there is animal feed.

They tend to be most active for an hour or two after dusk.
