| Image quality depends on lens design,
glass grade, manufacturing tolerances and coating. In order to be in line with
well-known premium optical producers we could not cut any corners. ATN lenses
are made from the highest-grade optical glass. Our optical designs are
calculated with the latest computer software available. We measure our optical
tolerances to .0001". We then multi-coat our lenses with our own proprietary
coatings that are specifically designed to allow for maximum light transmission.

| Regardless of how mach a person will spend for a scope, $30.00
or $1500.00, the basic design is typically the same. The Cam tube is placed and
moved within Outer tube. The Adjusting system is held by one or two 7-pound
springs. This has been the standard in the industry for many years. |

| ATN has established itself as the world leader of night vision riflescopes.
We decided to transfer some of our creative night vision designs into our
daytime scopes. Due to the lay-out of night vision riflescopes, reticles are 14
times smaller and 10 times more precise then daytime scopes. We used the same
innovative "push and pull" mechanism with silicone padding that is in our night
vision devices for the Professional series scopes. This created windage and
elevation adjustments that are 10,000 % more reliable then other scopes with
click adjustments of 1/8" MOA at 100 yards. |

 The ATN
Professional series riflescopes are the only scopes in the world with the
Everlight and Proshield Lens Coatings. We developed and formulated these two
exclusive lens coatings specifically for the Professional series.
The
revolutionary Everlight coating is designed to enhance the resolution and
contrast of your image in extremely bright conditions. When there is too much
light you will normally notice a degraded optical image, which is prevented by
our Everlight coating. Some of the leading scope manufacturers have been
installing less reliable mechanical aperture shutters to compensate for this
problem
The Proshield? coating is a mixture of anti-scratch,
anti-condensation, anti-static and anti-glare coatings. In addition, a one-piece
tubing and special seal makes the Professional series scopes truly durable and
weather resistant. |

| You will never lose sight of your
crosshairs due to darkness with any of the scopes in the ATN Professional line.
Our illuminated reticle has a 10 position rheostat to adjust brightness from a
well-defined black reticle for conditions to a glowing red reticle for low light
conditions. |

All of the professional lit-reticle
riflescopes have a built in adjustment that compensates for bullet drop. The
elevation dial is calibrated for bullet drop in increments from 100 yards to
1000 yards. This innovation eliminates the need for complicated ballistic
calculations and puzzling aiming patterns. In case the user needs to take a
short at different distances, the alignment process is simplified to the quick
turn of a knob.
Bullet drop compensation is only possible for certain
caliber's, with specific weights and muzzle velocity: |
