ATN’s ThOR LT 

The ThOR LT from American Technology Network is a great choice for hunters who want the advantage of a thermal-imaging riflescope at an affordable price. Designed for close-range target acquisition, the ThOR LT is perfect for hunting hogs, predators and small game. Built to withstand the recoil of high-caliber firearms, the ThOR LT is made from hardened aluminum alloy and built to be recoil resistant. And there’s no need to burn through boxes of ammo just to get sighted-in. One shot is all that’s required. Just take the shot and move the zero reticle to the point of impact. That’s it. The streamlined design of this scope means shooters can use standard 30mm rings. MSRP: Starts at $1,199.

Quick-detach Weaver-style mounts make it easy to change optics or switch to iron sights and still maintain return-to-zero reliability. Its lightweight titanium body and flip-up lens covers protect the optics and electronics from impact and harsh weather conditions, and an illuminated red-duplex reticle with incremental brightness adjustments allows the shooter to adapt to various environmental conditions.
