[QUOTE="scrmblr1982cj8, post: 1130719, member: 69799"] I've got an ATN Thor unit, an ATN Tico clip on unit, and an Armasight NV unit. Between the Thor and the Tico, I prefer the Tico clip on unit. I've got it on an Armalite AR-10 with a NF NXS 5.5-22x56. The Tico unit utilizes the scopes magnification for zoom and by using the focus knob on the unit, I can get impressive detail at 600 yards. The Thor unit display gets distorted quickly when you utilize the zoom functions. The 1x magnification is the best image by far. 8x is pretty much useless for my purposes. IMO, ATN's customer service sucks! The owner's manual states that the centerline of the thermal unit and the centerline of the rifle scope should be within 3mm of each other for optimal performance. Before I mounted the NF to my Armalite, I called ATN to get the height of the centerline, since that information is not contained in the owner's manual. The useless individual at ATN's customer service department stated that they did not have access to that information and I would need to figure it out myself. For the over $5k I invested in the unit, that is absolutely unacceptable. I am never purchasing another ATN product. There are a couple of guys on the Hog Hunting section that use thermal extensively and they use Armasight. From what I've read, they are very happy with their Armasight units. I'm very happy with my Armasight NV unit. [/QUOTE]
