Installing Gear Drive 308 Caliber
The X-Sight I received for testing is the flavor, which carries an MSRP of $629. There is also a that runs $729. Included with the scope itself is an infrared illuminator, micro SD card, lens cover, sun shield, quick start guide (full owner’s manual is ), and batteries, all in a handy bag. Admittedly I was slightly annoyed by ATN right off the bat, as there’s a big allergy warning on the paperwork to notify the purchaser that the rubber on the X-Sight is made with natural latex — something that I never saw anywhere on the website’s product pages. While I’m not allergic to latex I know a couple of people who very much are, and that’s because it’s a fairly common allergy.

I’d be pissed if I just spent close to $600 on a scope that was completely unusable to me, since using it necessitates pushing one’s eye up against the latex rubber eyecup. Of course, apparently I’m not allergic to anything — I don’t even react to poison oak — so was able to proceed and put the X-Sight through its paces. And, I must say, the natural rubber latex eyecup and lens cover feel pretty darn nice.
Beats lambskin. At its core, the X-Sight is really a digital camcorder with infrared night vision capability plus software to allow it to function as a rifle scope, all wrapped up in a tough suit. It’s a pretty intelligent way to output a digital scope at a low price point. It’s also packed full of tech: • WiFi for iOS and Android app connection. Use phone or tablet as a live viewfinder, adjust all settings, update software, initiate and share recordings and photographs • Captures HD video (1080p) and photographs • GPS allows geotagging, altimeter, speedometer. Tag photos and videos with this data. • Image stabilization / gyroscope • E-compass • E-Zoom (digital, rather than mechanical zoom) • Night vision in green or black-and-white • 9 reticle options • “One shot zero” • Micro USB, Micro SDcard, Micro HDMI • it even displays time and date!
• Included 850 mW infrared (IR) illuminator has adjustable focus and brightness, as well as windage and elevation adjustments (handy for when beam is focused in tight for illuminating objects at long distances) The X-Sight attaches to a Weaver / Picatinny rail, so on a hunting rifle with grooved receiver some sort of adapter would likely be needed. The mount itself is functionally solid, but with a 2.6″ eye relief from the display — your face needs to compress the eyecup a bit to get there — I struggled to mount the scope far enough rearwards. In the AR-15 photos here, the X-Sight is as far back as it can be without hanging off the back of the rail and blocking the charging handle. It’s absolutely in a functional position, but would be more comfortable and allow for a more normally-positioned cheek weld if I could bring it back a couple more inches. Also, the height is just fine on the AR but was on the high side on a couple of other rifles. Note that the mount is hanging off the back of the rail and an extra-forwards cheek (chin) weld is still required Covers on the right side protect the battery compartment and the memory card, USB, and HDMI in/outputs. The scope itself is powered by 4 AA batteries, while the included IR illuminator uses 2 CR123As.
A section of Picatinny rail adorns the left side for the mounting of the IR illuminator, but that could go elsewhere on your rifle to leave this rail available for a reflex sight or the like. Diopter (reticle focus) is ±5 adjustable for your eyesight. Image focus is adjusted up front, and in this way the X-Sight behaves similarly to a manual-focus camera lens (although the focus ring is stiffer so it doesn’t move accidently).
Considering most of this rig is digital I was a bit surprised to find that focus is only achieved manually. Unlike a typical scope, when you look into the eyepiece you don’t actually see out the front of the optic. Rather, you’re looking at an 800 x 600 pixel display showing whatever the camera at front sees in addition to the information — reticle included — added by the software. I attempted to take a photo through the eyepiece but, like most digital displays, it doesn’t photograph well. Thankfully the X-Sight captures its own photos, so here’s a look across the lake — about 720 yards to that tree — at 3X: And here’s the same spot at 12X: As you can see, it does get pixelated at full zoom.
