I’ve been using the ATN Thor LT for about six months. The range is impressive for my needs, reaching out to around 300 yards quite effectively. Battery life has lasted me over 12 hours, which is solid for a thermal scope.

Image quality is definitely one of the selling points. In clear conditions, it offers excellent clarity. However, when it’s foggy or raining, there is some degradation. Still manageable, though!

That’s a fair point. The image quality is crucial for nighttime hunting. How is the user interface? Is it intuitive?

The user interface is straightforward! I picked it up in no time. The buttons are well-placed, making it easy to switch settings on the fly.

My experience with battery life has been positive! As long as you turn it off when not in use, it lasts me for multiple sessions without a hitch.

That’s reassuring to hear! But does it drain quickly when using the various features?

10

I found that the features do consume more battery, especially recording. Just remember to manage your usage, and you should be fine.

11

Great tip! Speaking of features, how’s the zoom capability? Is it effective at longer ranges?

12

The zoom is pretty decent! For the price, it works well up to 300 yards for me. Beyond that, you might struggle with clarity.

Overall, it performs well across various scenarios, though it shines most in clear nights. Daylight performance isn’t as great, but that’s expected with thermal scopes.

15

That’s a bit discouraging. Wondering if it might be worth investing in something else for daytime use?

16

You could, but the convenience of the Thor LT for night hunts is impressive. I’d say it’s still a good overall investment.

17

I’ve had my ATN Thor LT for about six months now, and I’ve used it primarily for hog hunting at night. The thermal imaging is fantastic, and I can spot targets easily even in complete darkness!

I agree! The clarity is impressive, especially when you’re out in open fields. Have you noticed any lag when zooming in on moving targets?

That’s good to know! I was considering a long weekend trip. How did you manage the battery life during your trip?

I’ve used the Thor LT for both hunting and surveillance, and I must say its image quality is great, but the controls took some time to get used to. Once you’re familiar, it’s smooth sailing!
