ATN MK390 Paladin 4x Gen 1+ scope
Was looking through the gun shop...
$40 a box 9mm... no way
$600 used Glocks... not a chance
$1 plus a round 5.56... bitch please
Then I saw it, a really fat scope n the case that looked out of place. Night Vision? You betcha!
$300 in like new condition. Had batteries in it, and it powered up no problem. Built like a rock, heavy at 3.5 pounds.
Yes, I know the limits of Gen 1, I had some Gen 1 monoculars and they served their purpose until I could get some Gen 2+ and 3 stuff and I sold them. I just don’t have the coin to drop on a gen 2 or better rifle scope or clip on. I figure I’ll do the same thing here, use this until I can afford or find a deal on something better. I’m sure I can always unload it for what I bought it for or relatively close.
I know ATN has a bad rep, but I’m guessing they didn’t build this, it’s probably Eastern European surplus. It’s also not one of their digital units so less to go wrong.
In any event, did I F’ up?
