I have the ATN MK410 and the Eagle Tac T100C2. Mine doesn't see as far as yours apparently. With the Eagle Tac, I can see well to about 70 yards or so, and closer would be better. When I say "see well," I mean for shooting and not just identifying. But, when I add IR from a Luna laser illuminator, I can shoot 100 yards or perhaps slightly further. The Luna can be focused down to a small point, thus putting more light into a smaller area, which makes it less grainy. The Eagle Tac adds surrounding vision that the Luna does not when focused tightly. The two working together helps a lot. Still, I dream of the day I can afford better. At least I have two good illuminators for when that day comes.
As to the M845, that one had my interest and I was hoping for one in a higher magnification. Then it suddenly was discontinued. Does anyone know why? From all reports I had it was a great quality scope, rivaling some Gen 3s.
5spd, sorry to jump track on your post. I know this isn't what you were inquiring about.
