Got one for my BD and will mounting this week

[@varminteruk]

Larry Kayser I sent mine back. Had trouble with the thing, might have been a one off but have seen a few with faults

[@aceprecision1681]

LMAO at the Matrix clip. I think that's very applicable to the hype and bullshit put out by retailers and manufacturers of these devices. I have spent thousands of dollars on many different units, with them all falling well short of my expectation ( and there hype ) I will be very interested to see your honest and full review when completed. Cheers

[@varminteruk]

Ace Precision r.e Matrix, that's exactly what i thought! This is marketed as "the Future" - It will be interesting to see if it really lives up to the Hype. Like i said, First impressions are good, Zeroing is next

[@fradesilva]

Which is the scope muzzle limit?

[@peanutjellyman]

What did you think of it ? i've seen there been some firmware updates recently thats improved it a lot, looking at nitesite wolf too. Any thoughts?

[@varminteruk]

peanutjellyman I actually sent my unit back as it was faulty. It hasn't put me off completely but i also didnt like the fact that i couldn't "Dial" shots. Theres a good group on Facebook called s sight owners that would be able to answer any questions that you have.

I bought this scope today, shot a bit today, 6 rounds, at the range, the screen went blank without cause. I thought it might be the batteries but new ones didn't help. It won't come on. Any ideas? I was hoping to shoot coyotes that have been getting at my calves tonight, but that doesn't look likely. I HATE spending good money for a product, get it home and it doesn't work! BTW, how about a manual in print?

[@varminteruk]

+Paul List Bad times. I know what you mean, Very frustrating. Mine turned off and wouldn't go back on. Its a shame really as it has so much potential, The other option would be the Armasight Drone Pro. But thats a fair amount more money. Get hold of ATN or join the X Sight forum on FB, there are some ATN staff on there and see if they can advise.

[@tommyboyd6189]

Please could you give an honest opinion ...is the x sight a good buy...I am thinking of getting some sort of nv but not sure which to go for yet...although the x sight is a good price

[@varminteruk]

Tommy Boyd Yep, The next clip is Zeroing. I will keep uploading clips of my progress with the scope, my opinion on it and hopefully catch up with a few foxes too!

[@jl8486]

can anyone tell me if the zoom is optical or digital?Thanks!

[@varminteruk]

+Jiayu Liu Hey, Its all Digital Zoom

[@jl8486]

+varminteruk so the zoom from 3-12 are all digital? so it is just a 3* scope right?

[@varminteruk]

Yep, 3x Optical the rest is digital from what i understand

[@bigjohntightlips]

Good review vid,, They are ok until you zero the Rifle n then go to zoom in and the cross hair goes off screen. Not a bad idea though But they Do need to sort the software out for it at that price,, ATB

[@varminteruk]

vermin filmer Ive actually returned mine. Personally i think its a case of "too good to be true". Dont get me wrong, some people love them, its just not for me

[@Munky332]

+vermin filmer they fixed that with a firmware patch apparently.

[@bigjohntightlips]

+varminteruk me neather mate

[@bigjohntightlips]

+Munky332 The did but then it created another glitch in the sound apparently.

[@Munky332]

+vermin filmer eh, i dont care about the sound honestly. only thing i care about is visually acquiring target, and then removing said target.
