[QUOTE="Brother Buckwheat, post: 2779192, member: 76005"] For what it is at its price point ATN works or should work, at least to 250-300 yards with your 700 SPS. I have a couple ATNs as I'm, shall I say frugal, and just couldn't spend an extra $1-2000 extra on a tool that I only use occasionally. My Thor thermal sits on an HBAR 223 with QD rings and the scopes get switched out for day/night use, Sig 4.5-14 for daytime, and Thor for night shooting. And the 4K ATN sits on a dedicated .22 PCP for night ratting. Your problem with the crosshairs at the bottom of the ocular end is your mount/ring setup on your rig. The rear of your scope needed to be elevated/shimmed and from what you describe probably more than with a 20 MOA base. I could be wrong and you actually got a bad thermal from them, but I would suspect rings/bases initially. Something is probably wrong with the mounting system if you cannot center the reticle on the target in the scope. [/QUOTE]
