What do you people think about the Duplex Reticle versus the "Spot On Technology" by NIKON? You can load ballistics/athmosphere/wind direction, etc into a nice software app. versus approx w/duplex reticle?

One of those won't work when things hit the fan and the power grid goes down. Scout motto, always be prepared.

I have the recon and the double shot, recon is much cooler. the barrel and the the stock come off, and a laser thingie that that dosn't work, and a reflex sight. the recon shoots very well, and the double shot never ever ever shot anything. it always jammed. get the recon.

My ATN has no magnification. In perfect conditions (full moon) I'm comfortable taking shots at stationary targets at 50 yards. Using a 980nm IR illuminator works well. Source is invisible to the human eye but the scope sees it well.

Affirmative, I confirmed this by checking it out with a Bushnell Gen 01 NV Monocular. You can clearly see the Red Dot illuminated with andwithout the IR illuminator switched on. Take into account that this is through observation only. I have not tried to test the accuracy or determinePoint Of Impact in a night time scenario. I'm sure that a Gen 3 or Better N.O.D. would have better results than a Gen 01 tube device.

No idea about the Bushnell Legend but the Nikon Monarch are fantastic value for money if you don't want to spend a fortune. I use them on safaris and am never disappointed.

I just perchased the H20. I'm use to having a view finder. I thought there may be a way to rig some kind of sighting device. The camera already has a means of sighting in. Looking from the rear of the camera, there is an elbow formed to the left side of the flash "hump". If you bracket your subject in this elbow it'll pretty much end up dead center of your shot. Hey, it's not hi-tech but the method works.

Yes! I was at the range yesterday and that's actually one of the best ways to zero in the scope. Hold the AR rifle steady on a sandbag or whatever , aim at the target say 100 yards using the peep sight ,you then set your cross hair on that target....that easy, works for me. Oh and the mildot ?

I personally love the Burris Mac. No problem with it yet. Put about 1000 rounds through my .556. I like the fact that I can also use it as a red dot and switch to long distance. Also if battery dies you can still see the reticle. No need for back up sights. Hope this helps.

Focus and metering can be set for "spot". That was one of the settings I had to change when I was trying to take photos of the moon.

the action is more suited for sporting events, and isn't as clear in low light conditions in my opinion.You should also know that the action has been discontinued by Nikon. I prefer the Aculon.

My scope came in with the site and mount for each. Both were mounted and work very well. I have to tell you that I like the scope much betted than the holo site. I spent 4 hours training with an instructor and I use this package. Once I set it I didn't have to make any adjustments. I sent approx 600 rounds down range and was able to accurately hit a full size silhouette at 600 yards 3 times in a row. That was with an AR15 shooting 5.56.

I bought this scope for basic birdwatching, and hunting use. Landscape features a few miles away? I wouldn't expect much from it. I would go for something higher power than 16x for that. An inexpensive spotting scope? I'd look into this: Enjoydeal Multifunctional High Power MONO Multi-Coated 15-50X21 Single-tube Telescope MonocularTelescope Black

You can email to me. I send a pic of the reticle to you. It's more convenience for you.

I bought a cheap one from Amazon. Not as smooth as a Nikon one, but not bad at all. About a quarter of the price.
