You really get what you pay for in the world of night optics. I started out about 7yrs ago with an ATN and it was "ok", but was really only good out to about 100yrds. I looked through my buddy's 3rd generation Armasight clip on, and it was like turning on the light switch. Of course that was a $3000 optic. Anyway, about a month ago I bought a 5th generation ATN day/night scope for my crossbow. I had read horror stories online about it but figured I could just return it if it didn't work. Sure enough, when I tried to update the firmware it bricked it and ATN asked me to send it to them. I simply sent it back to Amazon for a refund. I doubt I will go with another ATN optic again. In your price range, the 4th gen ATN day/night scopes seem to be pretty stable. You could try one of those.
