Atn x sight 2 hd i.e the older version scope for nighttime use i think this scope is a better option as its far more sensitive to light then the 4k
This is with the coyote cannon ir the fence beyo g the power pole is 750y

I normally try to avoid speaking ill of companies, BUT, my experience with ATN convinced me that their customer service is atrocious.
That experience was over a period of at least six months in 2018. I feel it was partly due to their being the only game in town for affordable electronic scopes.
I hope that has changed since, but the advice is to look for serous reviews of their customer service over the past 18 months. Then decide whether the purchase is worth the gamble if something isnt right with the scope.

mel, you left out a very significant bit of information. Are you comparing 850nm lights, 940nm, or one of each? There is a very different about of throw between the 850 and 940 (940 being less) and some digital NV isn't sensitive to 940, so it doesn't work well.
Another significant difference between 850 and 940 is that 850 emits a distinct red glow that animals can see and the 940 emits almost no, or no visible glow.

i meant to add another reply last night as i was posting from the field but some foxes caught my attention lol , i have walked downrange of my illuminators and yes u can deff see the red glow to about 100y after that atleast threw human eyes.
id really like to try out a 50lrx or smaller illuminator with my older atn x sight hd get the wieght of the setup down and also cut down on the red glow on the front of the illuminator lens.
that being said the 66lrx is light enough it doesnt add any real wieght to the setup , the coyote cannon on the other hand is a heavy sob
the more i use my x sight hd 3-14 the more i like it for nighttime use over the 4k 5-20 specially inside of 200 yards , once u start reaching out to 300+ the 4k deff has the advantage
