I started out with a Xsight II in 5x20 and quickly realized the 5X magnification was way overkill for close range and the field of view was too narrow. I sent it back and got the 3x14 and have been very happy with it out to 100yds for crows. With the standard IR I can see out to 185 yards easy (they say 200 with the stock torch) but others are correct the 14x get's grainy.
I am now in the market for the 3x14 4K model but I have a question..What is the closest it will range with teh ballistic calculator?? The older model wouldn't get closer than 25yrds with the ballistic calculator leaving you to hold under to hit close objects. The new lazer range finder option says it goes 5-1000yrds. Does that mean the new 4K has capability to get closer than 25 yards to match the lazer?? If I have 10-15yrd shots will I still need to hold under with the 4K?
My .22 Impact M3 Compact should be arriving today and I look forward to trying the new day/night ATN soon, yes I'm getting the lazer range finder. By the time you range your target and get into the menu to change your ballistic distance things tend to fly away. The lazer seems like a no brainer.
