I have zero experience with thermal or digital, but I've had an ATN Night Arrow 4X NV scope for 5 years now. I bought a good IR light, mounted it on a short rail on my handguard, and commenced to killing hogs. I have no trouble killing hogs to 200 yards. Multiple kills are limited to how long it takes them to make it to the woods. I've only killed two on a few occasions but it wasn't the scopes fault that they got into the woods. Sometimes only a big boar was there, in which case you can't kill what doesn't show.
If I had big bucks to drop on a thermal, and wide open spaces to hunt, it would be great, but I don't. As far as ATN is concerned, I haven't had any problems with my scope, but they did cheerfully and quickly replace two of the IR lights before I bought my own. My buddy had to send his back and they fixed it no problem. I hear of poor customer service, but we have experienced the opposite.
In the end, I think that technology has screwed us with a product that is fast falling behind, but 100 or so dead hogs ain't ever gonna know or care that they were killed with yesterday's tech. The ones we kill this year ain't gonna care either.
OP, the advice to PM Jason is probably good.

I have the ATN X Sight II. No complaints from me. Works day or night. Sure i would love a thermal and may get there one day but it has not kept me from killing hogs. will try it on axis deer next month and don't expect any issues. 200 yards is probably my limit.
i have no experience with the ATN 4k.
as others mentioned - talk to Jason at Outdoor Legacy.

Originally posted by justletmein View PostOne thing I like about the ATN I have is I can watch the kids on my tablet or phone when they're aiming. Seeing what they see live is pretty awesome and I can tell them which pig to shoot, or no that's not a pig that's a cow (lmao j/k). Do any of the other sights do that?
The photons will do that also.
