every one will have their own opinions on every sight on the market,but it all depends on what you want out of your sight.i wanted a sight that i could shoot during the day then carry on into the night without having to change scopes and the xsight fits that bill for me.great for day and dusk shooting in day mode and certainly good enough for my night shooting with a decent ir.all my night shooting is done at 150yds or less,dont see a need to shoot further at night,most of my foxs are shot at less than 100yds.ive used a photon with a doubler which probably was a better night scope but rubbish in daylight,used a add on with monitor but hated looking at a screen and to much going on to just sling over your shoulder and have a walk round.lots off stuff on the xsight i will probably never use but also some very usefull stuff on it...1 shot zero,digital zoom,touch button videoing.
