Made link hot.

ATNs are not well thought of by most folks here.  

For that kind of $$, you could get a MUCH better scope.  

A Weaver Grand Slam 6x20x40 would run rings 'round that thing in terms of brightness, clarity, and image quality, for $100 less.  

I'm saying that w/o having seen that ATN scope...but unless they're building something completely different in terms of quality, I'd be leery of spending that kind of $$ on something that's unproven.  

For a little less, you're looking at a Leupold Vari X 2 6x18x40.  I doubt there is ANYONE on here that wouldn't take the Leupy over the ATN.  Even a Burris Fullfield II in 6.5x20x50 with target knobs is cheaper than that ATN.  Bushnell Elite 4200 is another great scope for less $$ than the ATN...a 4x16x40 is ony $418 at SWFA.

Seriously, for that kind of money, I wound't dream of getting the ATN with those other choices, period.  YMMV, but that's my advice.

EDIT:  There is a used 4300 Elite 4x16x40 for sale right now in the EE,  on page 4, for $350 shipped.  I'd take a look at it.
