Re: 26gn Varmint Grenades

Hi dirtcd. Yes, I have been very happy with the ATN Xsight2. When I first saw them, I was a little unsure how a digital screen would be for holding zero but I have not had any problems in the 2 years so far. However, you will need to upgrade the factory IR light if you shoot past 100 yards. I curren...

Re: 26gn Varmint Grenades

More photos will be coming. It is the middle of summer here with some days around 40*c which is 104*F so hunts are a little less frequent.
