Have any of you had experience with this technology? Sounds good on their web page but know nothing about them. Checking out the Sig Sauer model as well as the Burris Eliminator III model.

Yes, I've used both and they work. The only problem is that they seem bulky and heavy compared to traditional optics and you need to check to make sure that they are legal where you hunt.

Just logging my experience, I tried the ATN X-Sight II HD 4-14, which they don't list on their Web site anymore but seems identical to the 3-14x there now. It was a very interesting and innovative product but VERY heavy. I didn't like the mounting options, either - I had trouble getting it in the right position for proper eye relief. It was always a half inch forward of where I wanted it. Finally, the ATN product is pure "electro" - if its batteries die, your hunt is over. In the end, I returned it.

I didn't think the ATN was a bad product, per se, it just didn't fit my needs. I think hog hunters might love it - on a shorter AR platform where you might want some low light or thermal imaging and an extra pound might not be a big deal, it might be fine.

The Burris is a much simpler product and you'd probably be happier with it if that's what you want, although it's a hell of a premium for a range-finding scope over just carrying a separate rangefinder unit...
