Getting my 640 2.5-25x Smart thermal scope this weekend. read a lot of adverse comments on forums but hope that this is the exception rather than the rule. Would imagine that as this unit has been out in use a while now that any bugs/problems will have been sorted. Keep up the great work.
+Edward Osborne stay away from subsonic. Not enough energy, usually doesn't expand. I'm shooting 110g Barnes VOR-TX supersonic. I try to stay within 80 yards for my shots.
@@TexasJAGD thanks for posting . Is this still holding up well in 2020 ? What brand of batteries do you use and how many operation hours do you get before needing to recharge ?
@@TexasJAGD well thanks for the reply but are you sure ? ATN only warranties those built in batteries for 6 years and they cost $800 to replace. The Thor HD will never have that problem
@@georgiabigfoot 6 years will do a lot in this industry. I doubt you will still own the same unit in 6 years, the way this tech is developing. You can sell these easily for good money if you care for them properly.
Great video man! But I have to say the music is annoying as F%*&...Sorry, just trying to be honest. I had to turn it down all the way to watch it a second time. Could you put a description of the optics you were using? I've been looking to upgrade my current setup and trying to decide on a thermal or night vision scope. Thanks again and keep up the great work!
+Jim Cantu Really depends on your budget. Regular night vision like the ATN XSight 2 is a good start. But Thermal is definitely a game changer. The cheapest ATN Thermal is right at $1,900 - ATN Thorn HD 384 1x amzn.to/2t4RhDh
I'm looking to get an ATN Thor HD 640 100mm scope and I am kinda of worried about it based upon what seems like numerous poor feedback on the scopes having issues breaking down/malfunctioning. Have you had any trouble with yours?
+R Harrison I did have an issue with the internal screen once and had to send it in for a return. Customer service and the support on the FB group have been great. I have a friend with a IR Defense thermal and even with the high dollar price tag, he also had to send it in once for an issue with the automatic focus not working. IMHO, with these scopes getting more and more sophisticated and complex, things will break one way or another.
Does your scope zoom to max 25x or does it stop at 10x. I have the same scope but it stops at 10x. Talked to ATN & they said it's 2.5x10 makes it 25x. Please let me know. Thanks!
+alim chishti you probably didn't set the scope type in settings. Once you set it to (640 2.5x) it will show you the proper zoom level in the graphical interface. If you haven't set it, it will show you the standard zoom factor, which is 10x at max. They are correct that this would make it 25x for your scope.
Texas JAGD, Thanks for the quick response. So, once you set the scope type in settings. Will it show 25x when you're fully zoomed in. Not 10x. Just trying to figure it out. If it's an issue with my scope.
It's going to hurt but I am about to pull the trigger and buy the cheapest 640 sensor equipped ATN has to offer. The ranch I have roaming rights on is over run with coyotes. I figure I'll help him out.
For a city-living dude who knows nothing about any kind of hunting, please explain why the the heavy rain brings out hogs. This is a serious question and I honestly have no idea and I'd like to know.
@@TexasJAGD Thanks! I actually encounter these things in the back country of San Diego County while hiking. An Indian tribe tried to get a game-hunting business started a while ago and released some wild boar on tribal land. Nothing came of the hunting business but of course the hogs escaped and have become a nuisance, which is amazing when you see how dry and desolate that country is - like west Texas only drier. I usually throw rocks at them because I'm afraid they'll attack me: they always seem to have a bunch of piglets in the group (15-30 total hogs). I don't know if they are aggressive but I don't want to find out the hard way. Anyway, I'm sure the local land owners would love to have you visit!
While I've never been charged, it does happen and you should be careful. Sows with piglets are most likely to charge. Boars have very sharp tusks and can lethally injure humans.
Damnit, I was looking for this music as well. Really like it. One guy said it was annoying - he just doesn’t get it haha Lmk if you can point me in the direction.
6:20 the blood fountain.
What type of cartridge did you use? What bullet weight? what output speed? the terminal effect is great! great shot of course!
man, keeping me on my toes with digging up my old videos :) that was my second 300 BLK build at that time. Shooting Barnes VORTX 110gr, I believe.
At 3:00 min. I gave up... thought it was a Dodge commercial.
Fair enough
lol it has a fast forward slider.

I consider the ThOR HD 640 2.5x a workhorse. Mine has been very reliable. You will be happy with it!
That fist one caught a whiff and was getting nervous. Good shot.
What grain ammo was u using and how far was the shot.. How u feel about supersonic ammo for deer hunting

Hi are you reloading your Ammo ?
If so can you post the different bullets & powders .
Thanks
how long is your barrel on your 300 bo? I have a 7.5 thinking of going up to 10.5
This was a 10.3, but I also have a 9.5.
Good thermal images. What's the distance please?
which thor is it, 1-10? and what magnification did you set for the first shot? how far was the boar?
You are so patient!
I’ve been looking at this exact scope. Noticed this video is a little dated. (Great video btw). Do you still use this scope? Thoughts on it?
Yes I do and it's still a great performing scope. ATN ThOR HD 640 2.5-25x
@@TexasJAGD thanks for posting . Is this still holding up well in 2020 ? What brand of batteries do you use and how many operation hours do you get before needing to recharge ?
I would highly recommend going with the ThOR4 series instead. You'll be much happier. Takes worrying about batteries out of the equation completely
@@TexasJAGD well thanks for the reply but are you sure ? ATN only warranties those built in batteries for 6 years and they cost $800 to replace. The Thor HD will never have that problem

I just bought infrared NVRS GEN 2 night scope made in Belarus I love it it has a range finder build in I love it
That mud looked slick going in. Great shooting

Nice extra footage.
Do you ever have a problem with the scope scrambling due to recoil?
Love it !!!! Nice Video! We need to go hunting!!!!!
I love that skunk bonus video...
+Josue De LA Garza yeah, he came too close for comfort. He didn't have a good day after that.

Love the optics!

I would look into the ATN Thor LTV 320
You fragged that skunk... literally. Nice video. Thanks.
+TheDamnSpot the skunk's day was ruined after that.
Mud mosquitos and mesquites. Texas, no doubt.
That last pop was the best.red splat.
You're marinating the hogs in Molasses before even shootin' 'em! lol. Hell yeah.
over 3 minutes in and nothing.....
I like the vids! What rounds are you shooting?
+Jacob Waitman 300 BLK Barnes VOR-TX 110g factory loaded.
That is what I shoot exclusively and swear by it i shoot mine out of a 11.3" Wilson Combat. How long is your barrel?
+Jacob Waitman I beat you by an inch ;) it's a 10.3" Ballistic Advantage. It's a great round. Very effective.
The image seems way more clear than mine?
Do you have the same model? If yes, humidity plays a big role. Have you checked in Lowe humidity?

Softer ground - easier to root up. Hogs also like to wallow in mud. And, hogs have to eat, no matter what the weather looks like.

That's so quiet, I need one.
Pig got to take a dirt nap and a spot of varminting for a bonus!
Lovin the video and the music, title and artist please.
Just background music. No artist/title.
Damnit, I was looking for this music as well. Really like it.
One guy said it was annoying - he just doesn’t get it haha
Lmk if you can point me in the direction.
He shot a skunk, LMAO!! I love it!
Skull Fracture!
Hope the camera survived.: LoL
Inseguro demais
I couldn't get past the repetitious nerve racking background music.. Sorry..
308 10000% better
👎kill the music 👎 exiting out- not gonna watch.
Well. Bye.
Музыку убери отвратительная
