I have the 2-6 X 40 and the 4-12 X 50. They are very larger and heavy...when comparing them to a Luppie.
Things I like: Gather light well Reticle increases in size ans you magnification increases Nice glass Has BDC for .223 out to 500m Things I don't like: Has a yellow hue Very long Very heavy You'll never fine scope covers for it I had the 4-12 on my 16" and it was 5" shorter than the barrel. If I ever missed the target I could lean forward and hit it with the scope. It feels very rugged (must be made of cast iron). Contact me for more specificinfo if you like. |

i have the 5x33 pro.
it's big and built like a tank. I have beat the hell out of mine for almost 5years. it's been a good scope. has only been zero'd once and is still dead on. Walmart carries covers for it. mike |

Remember zunrj5, you get what you pay for. The atn scopes are no exeption. I know this because I have owned that 5X33 model. You are better off buying quality the first time, rather than having to learn from your potentially spendy mistakes.

actually the 5x33 is one of the good scopes they make. the rest have a pretty crappy rep. |

I was looking for scope covers for the BIG ONE.
Can't seem to find one that will fit 2.731" objective. It is a decent scope for bench or target shooting. I would hate to carry this thing around. |

I have an ATN 5x33L and for the price and purpose, like it very much. Re. the covers, last year, I picked up a used spotting scope with a very large Objective, which was missing the covers. Just a thought.. I found that the plastic top from a kitchenware container was a perfect fit. When desperate, improvise. Of course prowling Wal-mart & K-Mart with a ruler was a little suspicious looking...

I got a 5X33 for one of my 20" rifles, and I liked it enough to get a second one for one of my 16"ers. It's no Leupy but these things are tough and they seem to keep zero forever.
I haven't had as good of results with their variable powered scopes, but my opinion is the fixed 5X33 is a great deal for the $200 or so you can find it for. |
