General Comments

The Warrior night vision Rifle Scope arrived in a Pelican hardcase. These are $100.00. The price of the Warrior was $425.00. I would rather pay $100.00 less and have it arrive in a cardboard box. This gives you an idea of Aries' marketing efforts. You are paying for packaging and a neat looking scope. Inside is still the same old low-quality Russian intensifier. Advertised was a range of 150 to 200 yards/meters. 70 yards was the best I could see. I called ATN to inquire about performance and was told that any first gen night vision is only good for 60-70 yards. I called back angry and talked to a different sales rep and he claimed that if I could see more than 50 yards I was doing good. I returned the scope. I am angry that they use the practice of false advertising. Their first gen equipment is still the old garbage that they have been selling for the last 5 years, but now in a "NEW PACKAGE" to make you think that you are getting new and improved.

    Unfortunately I agree with your review. I do not understand how can ATN place products like these on the market. I tried 1st Gen ATN Aries 330 Warrior, 350C Guardian, MK 238, MK 258 and even 2nd Gen Aries 6800 Defender and don't recommend any of these products to anyone. However(for example), the ATN's Night Leopard Gen 1 is an affordable and really great monocular, have a great resolution and a very clear and bright image and almost no distortion on the edges. Maybe you should try the 1st Gen 390 Paladin, I never tried this one, but heard some good things about this NV sight. Dipol are also reasonable good NV products. Bye.

    Diopol gen 1 stuff is better quality than ATN's stuff, I have ATN mo2-1 which has a much duller picture than d142 rifle scope gen 1. Resolution not as good either. Best stuff is true 1+ but very expensive??

    Yo Dog, chill. Maybe you should have known what you'd be getting for $450-500. I'm not trying to excuse ATN for adverting one thing and delivering another, if this is indeed the case, but what did you expect at this price point? Be glad the MK330 is not some beer can like sights of yesteryear. This is a sight intended for a carbine. If you need something that you can see farther with, be prepared to shell out the $$$.
