Took my ATN X 5-18x to the range yesterday afternoon/night. Shot about 50 rounds with it mounted on my DPMS LR .308. Also mounted was the illuminator that it came with and a Crimson Trace IR laser spot (with filter). Shot it in the day mode and night mode. X/Y were both about -50 at 100 yards. Reticle usable at 2.5x and off the screen at 3.0x. V.2.0 installed. Illuminator good out to 100 yards. At 200 yards there seems to be a gain issue where it closed down due to foreground illumination. If I hand covered the illuminator for a bit then uncovered it, I could see the target fine at 200 yds till the gain closed down again.
Now for the issue. Picture froze on 4 shots at the shot. At about half the shots the picture went out completely. The only way to recover the image was to reset by taking the battery cover off/on. This issue seems to be recoil related. I was shooting .308, 150 grain Monarch.
I must say I like the scope other than that. I have had all the issues previously reported too, and I think I can work around those, but the scope going out on the shot is unacceptable. I've emailed the dealer and will be in touch with ATN this afternoon. I would also like to say what a great combination I think the ATN x and the Crimson Trace are, even though it duplicates the targeting solution. I'm new a this but like the ATN a lot.

Thanks for the replies so far. The screen locked up 4 times and the screen went off 15-20 times. Used regular Duracell AA bateries, and rechargable batteries. Probably had 4 sets of fresh batteries thru the sight during this range period. Took the sight off the rifle and put it back on in a check for loose mounting. Eric your experience sounds the same as mine. Mine also has the red buttons.

Well, I don't know how I feel about THIS:

If true, I am absolutely not comfortable waiting weeks for “retrofit” of a scope purchased in December when it appears ATN is shipping the new-production model with the manual focus ring. Can anyone confirm that this is that actually the case here? I am having a hard time with the idea that owners with problems with the units ATN mis-manufactured should be pushed back “in line” (for potentially WEEKS) behind new orders.

Yup, I am not playing games, spent too much of my hard earned money and had to beg forgiveness to this day from the wife. ATN will either send me another one or Im going to Photon. I can deal with the other issues, last think I need is the scope to go out on me in the dark in the middle of the hunt. That is a big issue and the more I look on the net the more I am seeing of this issue.

Well Guys, Here is a update. ATN called me back and said that they will help me out. I have a RA in hand, They said they will exchange it for me. They said soon as they get it if they have them in stock they will turn it around. Right now they are out of stock but are expecting a big shipment in a few days. Makes me nervous, I feel like I am rolling the dice on getting one back soon. I hate putting trust in a company that I started loosing faith in. I am going to go to the range one last time tomorrow and see if the scope fails again. If it does its going back, If it dosnt I may hang on to the RMA and wait a couple days.

With all the issues my first X-Sight had, I didn't experience screen freeze on my 223. It seems maybe it shouldn't be rated for as large a calibre as they said unless there's a batch with bad battery compartments.
I feel for you guys, Scott Country has been nothing but helpful over here in the UK. My first scope went back on Monday and I had my replacement Wednesday.
