Anyone have experience with one of the three listed below? I want to shoot some hogs after dark up to 200 yards if possible without breaking the bank. All the videos look great for each product online, but figured i'd ask here about personal experiences. I found an old thread about an ATN that looked good, but the updates quit and I wonder if it's still holding up.

ATN just came out with a THOR LT thermal model. Very economical and mounts with standard rings. Check it

$1200 is too much for me I think. Probably better off with just lights attached to what I own vs buying something for day/night usage.

Get the atn 4k pro. I used the xsight II and it worked well the one time I took it out. I only took it out because I just never had another opportunity to go night hunting. I got the 4k pro now but have not had a chance to try it out but I hope to soon.

I have the atn 4k pro 4 to 14 on a 6.5 grendel. If you upgrade the ir illuminator you can shoot 200 yards.. I usually shoot hogs in the 50 to 75 yard range. It took a few times to get use to hunting with it but I bought the binos and it's easier to scan instead of being on the scope all night.

I got a upgraded light too the kill light (forget the size). I have the 3-15 version so scanning is better. I don’t have the binos but what I thought is if there was a way to rig the rifle to stay like a tripod in the stand then just use your phone and scan with the gun. There is a little lag like that tho...

That's a good idea. I use the binos because looking through the scope, the light messes up your night vision in that eye so when u move away from the scopes it's real blurry.. with the binos both eyes are dilated the same ..
