No, the original launch date announced at its debut at the 2016 Shot Show was end of March or early April.

So, unlike the X-site, it is right on time and will not take 3-4 years to work properly.

Predman, I have been using a PS-32 since 2010 for spotting, and I will not hunt with out it, but I hunt wide open fields, I have a friend who is interested in the mini because he does nighttime animal research in woods. I think it would be good for him. Let me know how you like it...
 
I will do baystate.now they tell me it will ship mon.16th. I know one thing I will never order another product that is not out on the market.
 
Has FLIR been bought out by ATN? Sorry Predmann couldn't resist. Maybe it will be worth the wait when it finally arrives. Looking forward to your reviews and videos.

No experience with the FLIR tk but at 600 bux for a thermal I can't imagine you're going to get clear identification on anything that isn't close up. If you're looking for blobs in the distance then switching to your Photon then I guess it wouldn't matter too much though.

I myself like the pulsar line. You get a great value and pretty good features as well but the cheapest models still are about $2k. I just got a hd38a that I'm looking to return for the 19a so I could have more FOV. The natural 2x is nice since its easier to identify targets clearer at distance but the sacrifice in FOV isn't worth it for me. I'd rather have a quicker time acquiring a target, then switching to my scope for a clearer look.

Basically, thermals compared to no thermals of course would be quite the advantage, better than just using your Photon to scan. But I would try to save up a little more and go with the Pulsar Quantum line. I know someone selling a used hd19a for like a grand, PM me if you want the details.

Nope, they said the new TK Lepton core units would ship in mid-April to mid-May when first announced at Shot Show.

But if you'd bought two ATN X-sights you'd only be one half as happy if you only had one....

Nice!

And much better than ATN too!

Will be looking forward to the review of this thermal baby....
 
I'd guess he's not all that impressed with it. For the price I'm sure it's a great little monocular for detection under 100 yards but I wouldn't be expecting to id anything past 50.
