I honestly can't remember from when I was holding it at SHOT but I honestly think there is a + and - button right there on the top of the eyepiece that does the zoom in and zoom out. I know this....if it's buttons, it will be done by 2 buttons, zoom in and zoom out, you will not go into the menu for anything. I'm 99% sure the zoom in/zoom out buttons are right there on the rear above the eyepeice. Ill have to confirm that though.

One thing I'm on the fence for the rifle scope style of thermals is it going to be like a regular scope that the crosshairs are always on the gun canted to one side or the other LOL!.

Here's a pretty bad cell phone pic of a herd of axis. This is a $4,000 NV monocular, and you can see antlers. You could see spots if you used a 3X NV scope or better. Thermal may or may not show the antlers, depending on whether the axis are in velvet, and whether the antlers soaked up any radiant heat from the sun at the end of the day.

I get asked a lot about ATN and my thoughts. Hans and I decided it was time to discuss the topic on The Late Night Vision Show last week. You can check it out here or find it on any podcast app.

Alright! y’all been to quiet down south, I was getting worried there for a second! Only thermal excitement I got lately has been a couple of Montanans wishing to shoot a ton of hogs in Texas (I might of sold it a little too much in my quest to defend hay fields [emoji16]) or coyotes up here. Why anyone would want to sit in -15° snow too pop a song dog is beyond me.
I heard our resident Guru was recognized for outstanding customer service by Pulsar. Congrats Jason, great too have a man of your caliber in our corner to help with all our nighttime hunting needs!

35Rem is right there is the Quantum Lite XQ30V monocular ($1,899), the Helion XQ30 monocular ($2,499), the Core RXQ30V rifle scope ($1,899) and Trail XQ30 rifle scope ($2,799). All but the Core RXQ30V have been discontinued. I suspect that’s the optic you saw. If it’s in good condition, $1,500 that’s not a bad price.
Just be aware used thermals do not carry the manufacturer’s warranty, no matter what someone tells you. There are some slight exceptions when it’s an authorized dealer selling a demo, open box etc. This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t buy used, but just like buying any used electronic item, buy it cheap enough that if it dies tomorrow it was worth the risk. There are lots of good used thermals out there just get a good price on it.
