He's probably into the 1-2K range. ~Molɔ̀ːn Labé Skýla~ As Bob Hagel would say"You should not use a rifle that will kill an animal when everything goes right; you should use one that will do the job when everything goes wrong."Good words of wisdom...............

If I had unlimited funds I would take a look at Trijicon's products. I have first hand experience with both and was very impressed. As has been mentioned, the Pulsar is in the size range of a day scope and uses traditional 30mm rings.

Drum roll please...... "I don't know, to be clear." and THAT is one promise he's kept!!!

I have read quite a bit of ATN customer service being hit or miss on FB groups.
