Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 'one-shot zero' feature on the ATN X-Sight II HD?

The 'one-shot zero' feature allows you to zero your rifle quickly. After firing a shot, you enter the scope's menu, move a secondary cursor to your bullet's impact point, and save it. The scope then adjusts the reticle to that point, effectively zeroing your firearm with minimal ammunition.

How can I improve the battery life of the ATN X-Sight II HD?

The ATN X-SIGHT II HD has notoriously short battery life with standard AA batteries (2-4 hours). A common DIY solution is to use an external power bank, like a 4000mAh 'Pocket Juice', zip-tied to the handguard, providing a much longer-lasting power source.

Is the stock IR illuminator on the ATN X-Sight II HD sufficient for long-range night hunting?

While the stock IR illuminator works, it's often considered insufficient for serious long-range night hunting. Many users recommend upgrading to a more powerful aftermarket IR illuminator, such as the Evolva T20 (850nm), for significantly better range and performance.

What are the key smart features of the ATN X-Sight II HD?

The ATN X-Sight II HD boasts several smart features, including Wi-Fi streaming to a smartphone via the ATN Obsidian app, a built-in ballistic calculator that adjusts the reticle based on environmental data, and a smart rangefinder that estimates target distance.
