Sports reviews of ATN Night Spirit-2 Gen 2+ Night Vision Multi Purpose System

Customer Review: Good value Gen 2+ NV scope
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

This is my 2nd Gen II+ NV scope. It comes with a 3x lens and I paid $999.00 for mine. You can buy a picatinny adapter and 1x lens combo from ATN or some vendors (make sure you get the combo and not just the adapter for that price from vendors) for use with optics on rifles.

I found this scope to be better than my Night Optics Gen II+ D-300M-2ST I had purchased some months previous for $1500.00 that comes with a 1x lens. The price of the ATN with the mount 2 lenses was more than $300 less than the Night Optics scope and additional picatinny rail mount with just 1 lens.

On both models, there is an IR emitter that is fine for casual viewing of things a very short distances (maybe 20 yards, max) and that don't work well when mounted on a rifle.

As a value for function, I would give the ATN 5 stars. The fit of the components to the heavy duty polymer housing wasn't perfect, but does not appear to negatively affect the function of the scope in any way. If I need another comparable scope, I would buy another ATN Night Spirit.

FYI, a buddy purchased a similar Gen III version from ATN and paid close to $3000 for his scope. Gen III scopes should provide better resolution and better light amplification, but for the difference in cost, I could not see there being any significant difference out to about 30 yards inside the barn where we tested them side by side. His scope is slightly smaller, but not significantly.

Both the Night Optics and ATN Night Spirit were purchased for use on rifles for the purpose of hog eradication. In speaking with reps from both companies, each was said to be OK for use with rifle calibers up to .308, but not with .45-70 or with 12 ga. shotguns.

2nd Generation nightvision provides bright and sharp images.


The Spirit-2 Night Vision is rugged and compact.
About 2nd Generation Nightvision:
Primarily used by law enforcement or for professional applications, 2nd Generation Nightvision provides a much brighter and sharper image than 1st Generation Nightvision can. This is primarily to the addition of a micro-channel plate, commonly referred to as a MCP, in the 2nd Generation system. The MCP works as an electron amplifier and is placed directly behind the photocathode. The MCP consists of millions of short parallel glass tubes. When the electrons pass through these short tubes, thousands more electrons are released. This extra process allows 2nd Generation units to amplify the light many more times than the 1st Generation counterpart for much greater image clarity.
