Good Points: Good image resolution, red crosshairs on green background allows for easy aiming, IR illuminator has good power, comes with a fine waterproof case and all tools necessary for installation.
Bad Points: A little bit heavy (around 1kg), could have a little bit higher magnification (currently 4x).
General comments: I was looking for a good night vision scope, for pest control at night (mice, rats, etc.), which I would mount on my air rifle.
After trying a Gen 2 scope and comparing with the Paladin, I decided for the ATN Aries Paladin 390.
As a Gen 1, it has better resolution than the typical Gen 2, despite not so bright. The resolution is good enough for aiming at the mice's heads up to 25 yards. The crosshairs, however, get in the way and the lowest brightness setting could be a little dimmer.
The front lens protective cover is permanently attached to the body and flips open, which makes it very convenient.
The scope uses a Weaver style rail, which makes very easy exchanging it for a day light scope.
