Anyone tried the One Leaf Mars MT1000

To further answer your question, I purchased the One Leaf as a back-up to my Bering Optics Super Yoter. I liked it good enough that at least for the time being I'm using it exclusively on my main night rig. Things I like, view is great, 18650 battery, LRF works well, Ballistic Calculator works well, but I've only shot it out to 275 yds. so not really enough to tell. Has playback mode through the scope which helps in finding coyotes after the shot. It also had sound recording which you can hear on the videos. Video recording is good and can be done in various minutes according to user needs. Also can be set to start automatically when the scope is turned on or turned on manually. Controls are easy to figure out and on-screen menu pretty much explains everything you need to know. I have mine set to 60hz refresh rate, and the scope doesn't show any blip when it NUC's, shutterless they say.

Things you may not like, it doesn't have wi-fi, so you have to download firmware on a computer and then put it on the micro sd card which loads it automatically when you install the card back in the One Leaf. It doesn't come with a QD mount, so if you want to change it easily from one rifle to another you would need to purchase the separate QD mount which runs $99. The mount it comes with seems to hold zero well enough. I don't know about CS of course which could be a nightmare, but One Leaf has been very responsive in answering a couple of questions I had on the ballistic calculator. Warranty is only 3 years instead of 5, but the price is about 1/3 to 1/4 of scopes with similar features. So far, I have been more than pleased.

There seems to be a fair number of videos on the features on YouTube, but not many hunting coyotes yet. Most are reviews done by people who were sent free scopes to review. I purchased mine from Amazon because I knew I would have a 30-day free return window if it turned out to be a dud. I caught the 50mm model on sale during the 4th of July there for $1619. It was a 10% off sale from the regular price of $1,799. It ended up to my door at $1,730 including tax. I'm not representing One Leaf in any way or for any benefit. If it turns out to be a dud, I will certainly and surely post it here. Right now, I do not see how the mainline manufacturers are going to be able to hold those higher prices for very long which is a benefit for every night hunter in the long run, but the exception will be that it will allow many more people to get into night hunting. So cheaper prices benefit, but more hunting competition makes it more difficult.





This last video is of a couple of coyotes I killed on a rainy night. The first one of those was at 276 yds. and he was lying down eating a rat and so I didn't have much to shoot at. The conditions were about as poor as it gets to hunt in.

I've had mine for about 10 days now. Hunted with it several times. Absolutely love the scope! For all of the reasons mentioned above. Bought it with the 35 mm lens and hope to get the 75 mm lens soon. Screen is clear and crisp with a ton of viewing modes to choose from to suit your environment and preferences. I don't care about the lack of WiFi. Makes no difference to me. The scope does everything I wanted and more.

my new mars mt1000 came about 2 weeks ago .. purchased from amazon and my free return window extends to jan. 31st 2026 .. i really like this oneleaf mars scope .. in the past i have been scanning with a 384 hogster r 35mm thermal and shooting with night vision .. since i have the mars mt1000 i have been scanning with it and as i become better acquainted with the mars scope in the future it will probably find a home on a rifle ..
