[easyazon_image align=”center”  identifier=”B01BYDP4M0″ locale=”US” src=”https://www.besthuntinggearreviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/ATHN-THOR-384_a.jpg” tag=”azhunt-20″ ]

Smart Shooting Solution

With this very useful function, you don’t need to waste your time doing things such as memorizing charts, working complex calculations or guessing. The ATN’s Smart Range Finder will do all these for you. With only a few clicks and a quick shift of the scope, the Smart Range Finder will allow you to quickly range in on your target.  After your target has been ranged in, the reticle sets to work by adjusting its point of impact. The end result of all this is an increased chance of making a perfect shot every time.

Excellent Night Vision Mode

Powered by the powerful Obsidian II Core, the ATN THOR-HD 385 Smart Thermal Riflescope has an excellent digital night vision technology that allows one to use the scope anytime– whether at night or during the day. The excellent Night Vision Mode allows you to see very clearly in the dark, thereby significantly enhancing your shooting experience at night or in low light conditions. This is a very useful feature for hunters who often hunt at night as it allows them to detect game easily in the darkness.

Recoil Activated Video (RAV)

Another neat feature of the ATN THOR-HD is its Recoil Activated Video (RAV) function. With this feature, even if you forget to record your shot, the feature will remember and record it for you. This means that you can go about your hunting without bothering about remembering to press the record button. This inbuilt Recoil Activated Video (RAV) has the ability to record videos in 1080p during the day or during the night. With this feature, nothing can stop you from going home with videos of those once in a lifetime “perfect shots” which you can later share with your family and friends.

Wi-Fi (Streaming, Gallery & Controls)

With the ATN Obsidian app that this scope comes with, you can connect the scope to via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth to any Android or Apple smartphone and watch live video streaming. You can also do other interesting things with this feature such as opening up the Gallery to either view your videos/photos or share them on social media or email them to your family and friends.

Smooth Zoom

Not too many scopes out there offer users the opportunity to get personal and up close with the things seen through them the way the ATN THOR-HD excellently does. This scope comes with a Smooth Zoom feature that will provide you with very clear up-close views of the things you are looking at. This makes your shooting experience more fun.

Multiple Reticle Options

The scope comes with several reticle patterns and color options that the user can easily choose from to enhance his or her shooting experience.

Free Firmware Updates

Another cool feature that sets the ATN ThOR-HD apart from many of its counterparts is the free firmware updates that it comes with. It is common knowledge that firmware controls the behavior of your device. As a result of this, it is imperative that from time to time, you update your firmware so as to make sure that your device behaves or operates effectively all the time. Knowing how important firmware updates are, the manufacturers of the ATN ThOR-HD give users the ability to easily update the firmware on the device whenever new firmware is available.
