Model | ATN MARS LT 4-8X 25mm THERMAL |
For Thermal imaging you MUST look under the THERMAL section on this Web Site. For other Night Vision options search under Night Vision.
Specification on each and every model is SUPERB for Price Point. I consider they match or beat anything else available in the same cost bracket. Build Quality and Performance is simply EXCELLENT. Additional Features are almost ridiculous. You could find your way through fog that thick your hand disappears at arms-length. Built in Electronic Compass. Matching Gyroscope Features to show Cant / Tilt to left or right as well as Up and Down.
None removable HIGH performance re-chargeable Li-ion batteries with 10 hours + run time. Some options extend that to exceed 18 hours +. Slide a Micro HD SD Memory Card in and record everything you want that comes into view. They even stream direct to a mobile or other devise in real / live time if needed. That WILL be an exceptionally handy feature for anyone fighting rural crime and poaching.
Range finding capability, even bullet drop compensation with the right scope. The list goes on….and on.
Another EXTREMELY handy feature is the ‘ONE SHOT ZERO’ capability. Save a LOT of time and expense. OR spend what you do save on practicing and hopefully improve your shooting even more. A detail to bear in mind is that the variable magnification capabilities adjusts in set increments. They do not run through smoothly up or down but ‘hop’ to the next level pre-set in that particular model. On 3-6 and 4-8 it is either 3 or 6 and 4 or 8 respectively. Turn the unit on and it will start up on the lower mag level. Depress the mag / zoom button and x2 will appear on the screen. Showing the magnification is now at x2 or, in effect, Doubled. As such 3x is then 6 power and 4x jumps straight to 8.
Check all the rest out for yourself below. DO also please consider the following comments from me;
In RESPONSIBLE hands these make crop protection or pest control as EASY as it is EVER going to get. ANYONE who does buy one I can only PLEAD that you use it correctly. ANY SILLY SOD can shoot something they are not supposed to Especially in the middle of the night. Nowhere to go. No way of seeing you back and no idea you can clearly see it. THAT IS NOT SPORT, NOT CLEVER and a LONG WAY from ETHICAL or FARE. If that IS what you want one of these for then PLEASE SOD OFF and spend your money elsewhere. I have ZERO interest in assisting poaching in any way.
I KNOW the consequence of people doing exactly that. A lot of the shooting permission I have was basically swept clean of near every last living thing. ALL because of GREED and a lack of any respect for anything. As said, if that is you then keep your money. ALL I can HOPE is that the same happens to any permission/s you hold.
I see little real point or advantage is simply detailing the each model specification. Especially when simply clicking the link/s provided will take you direct to everything you need or want to know. Plenty of information along with video tutorial and product actual use etc. The last option will take you direct to the Main ATN International Home Pages. Simply navigate through EVERYTHING available there. But PLEASE remember to come back to us at Emma Rifles and place an order.
**** ALSO TO NOTE: As you may well see on the ATN main Home Page they currently have some offers running. Unfortunately these are for Mainland Europe (EU) sales only. They are NOT available or included here in the UK.
****THE (almost) LAST COMMENT is simply THIS;
It HAS now passed mid-summer for 2022. Crops WILL soon be / are already being cut, harvested and removed. Nights WILL be cutting back in BEFORE most of us realise. To get the VERY BEST out of any of these sights you will need time to set them up. LEARN the many functions to get the very best performance possible. Then get comfortable using them.
Apart from anything else Day / Night units as well as Thermal ARE both to use in any lighting conditions. It does NOT need to be dark.
Final bit for now; As per Details and Specifications these units ARE water RESISTANT only. That does NOT mean water PROOF. The built in battery cover and function buttons will only protect so much. If water penetrates it WILL likely cause damage which is NOT covered under warranty. Use YOUR judgement if out and the weather turns bad. You get a zipped scope cover that WILL slide on and fasten up sufficiently to increase protection substantially. KEEP IT IN A POCKET when out. Alternatively put the rifle back into a slip if on the open hill etc.
This IS only comment from me. All units like this, from any manufacturer, are basically the same. FULL of electronics and micro-processors. Just as you keep a computer dry, do the same with whichever option you choose, and have zero issues.
4-8x Magnification MARS LT 25mm lens option Thermal Imaging Rifle Scope from ATN International.
This is the first one I am trying out and so far I AM VERY HAPPILY IMPRESSED. At ONLY £1299.99 for FULL THERMAL Technology, with this level of performance, you will struggle to find better. The little extra cost is partly for additional magnification over a standard 3-6x and MAINLY for the bigger 25mm lens.
This increases the performance by quite some margin. Offering an additional 150 yard / meter human heat signature detection. An extra 75 yards / meters actual recognition and 50 for identification. For an additional £150 its your decision. 3 YEAR WARRANTY TOO subject to manufacturers terms.
Magnification is also 4 OR 8. When the power is turned on the scope is at 4x magnification. Depress the zoom / mag button and it simply doubles to 8x (Actually shows X2 in view. As in 2 x 4 power magnification equals 8 power).
One of my favourite features from this entire range is they are built like a standard 30mm tube rifle scope. Even the eye relief is set up the same.
A lot of other brands still require cantilever rails that hang back over the rifle. Half the time they need machining to allow the bolt to operate. Once fitted the bolt can’t be removed for cleaning unless everything is taken off. Then it’s all the time and effort to set it back up and re-zero. Worst case scenario for anything ATN is some off set 30mm rings. Even for the tallest fella with the longest pull.
PLEASE DO CHECK OUT AT LEAST THE FIRST LINK BELOW. This gives you direct access to the suppliers promotion video and Spec. details for this unit. The second link takes you to their Main Home Page BUT AS ABOVE: DON’T forget to COME BACK to us.

Also to Note; Most details in white on the scope bodies are there for illustration only and to assist with setting up. You simply peel off once happy with all of the functions etc. May or may not be obvious. I figure best to clarify so no one thinks they will have a ‘bill board’ sat on their rifle.
Anyone noticing the small Steyr Logo on the cabinet image receives a ‘Well done you’ for observation. HOWEVER you ARE supposed to be looking at ATN gear so CONCENTRATE!
