ATN ThOR HD 384 REVIEW
This ATN Thor HD 384 Thermal Imaging Scope has a 3-year warranty. Optics Planet calls this ATN Night Vision Rifle Scope their best tactical rifle scopes in their Thermal Imaging Scopes category. Also, as of the same date, Amazon has rated it as 4.3 stars out of 5 (67 reviews)
What I liked about this ATN Night Vision scope was, you can set the video record to RAV. The system will then buffer everything the scope sees. As the trigger is pulled you’re left with a full video of what you saw before the shot was taken, the moment of, and as much video after as you want.
The following are the 4 different styles you can to chose from.
1. ATN TIWSTH381A: Thor HD 1.25-5X, 384 x 288, 19mm.
