I have the 4K xsight and now the ABL 1500. What a great set up! Thanks to Rod Gerard, Kenny Acres and Jonathan Flores at ATN customer support/tech support. Love it. They really are great folks. Went out today sited in. Scope and range finder could not ask for anything better. Hunting season right around the corner. I bet it will look good on the crossbow. Do I hear elk in my future.

At 3:06, there's a step missing that should inform the buyers to loosen the 1/16" hex screw in the cover before trying to remove the inside ring. I struggled for half an hour before I realized that was there.

Good Video, except you forgot to mention the tiny set screw on the casing right above the 2 set screws that should be loosened and then subsequently tightened after retightening the 2 set screws.

REALLY MPORTANT : Remember to replace the allen key back into its ABL laser port after you do the zeroing .. which I didn't ... and the scope went mad !! It took me a while to figure out where I went wrong . I am a bit slow on the uptake but I eventually realized the missing allen key was the problem . If you don't replace it , it will read " target out of range " and INF in red on the left top of the sceen . You will then have to go to the range finder and manually reset it , and start again . Worked out ok in the end .. few!! Cool scope .

If I have my Thor 4 sighted in at 100 yards and i have my Abl 1000 turned on and it was ranged at a target that was 64 yards away, when i power off the Abl and the Thor, would it revert back to my 100 yard zero when i power my Thor 4 back on? Or will it still be set at the 64 yards?

@AtncorpOptics 2 жыл бұрын

If the BC is turned on then it will adjust to the range you have on the screen. If the BC is off it will show the crosshairs to the 100 yards you zeroed at.

@@clivehall5550 Because the ABL is a laser range finder and the built in one has two lines, you put one on top of the target, hit ok then put the next one on the bottom of the target and it gives you a range but you also need to know the height of the target you're ranging. ABL just hit the button, put the box on the target and you get the range.

@@clivehall5550 The ABL is more accurate. I'm going to assume that they don't build it in now because the technology doesn't allow it to be small enough to build it in. Their handheld rangefinder and range finding binoculars can also be paired to the scape as well if you don't want the additional weight on the scope. I'm still learning how it all works but this is what I've discovered so far. I take it on it's first hunt the end of this month. Hopefully everything works as it should.
