StarStrike-R PRO HDX

This is an impressive little scope. To get anything like this for anywhere near this price is just amazing. It has some amazing capabilities being able to shoot photo/video at this price is just unbelievable. I love the pre record feature that captures video from before the shot is fired. The controls take some practice to get used to just like any piece of technology but you get the hang of it after awhile. The image quality is not everything it could be but it's good enough, for this price it's great. Please see my pic and video. The scope is pretty heavy but anything with this much technology in it for a gun is going to be heavy. The overall build quality is good with one exception that I'm going to get to. Right now I have it on a 22ARC single shot for coyotes. It's a great fit for predators on a budget.There are a couple of nits which is why I'm only giving it three stars. The first is there's nowhere near 25X power of digital magnification. What magnification there is looses quality as you zoom in. For me really only the first few steps of magnification are useful so saying it's 25X is kind of misleading. The higher magnification works up close but at distance it just doesn't cut it. Objects/targets turn into blobs of white. Although technically not the scopes fault my SD card was toasted out-of-the-box and I had to get a new one. That was 12 bucks I had to put into the scope to get it working. The mount that it comes with assumes that you're going to mount it on an AR type rifle. That means if you mount it on a single shot like I did or anything else you're stuck with the AR height eye box as I don't see a good way to mount it any other way. Not a deal breaker but I did have to add a cheek riser to my single shot to be able to see them well through the scope. Finally when I remove the batteries one of the battery covers was very difficult to remove. These are threaded aluminum parts and the aluminum threads were very sharp. I'm always very careful about threading aluminum parts even to the point of putting a small drop of liquid graphite lube on the parts to help prevent the aluminum from galling. In this case I just wasn't able to get one of the battery door covers which are hard to reach all the way back in where it belonged without it jamming. The cover is tight, by that I mean it's not gonna fall off, and the electrical connection is there so that the scope works but if I ever have to take that battery cover off again there's going to be trouble. There is no easy fix for this part as the battery box is part of the main body of the scope. Make sure when you insert the batteries that you have them oriented correctly according to the instructions and the markings on the battery or else you will have to take those battery covers on and off multiple times, something you will not want to do.I really would like to give this scope 4 stars but given that the magnification is no where near what's advertised, the limited resolution and the problems I had with the battery door what could have been four stars is 3. Maybe they just raised my expectations too much. I'm definitely not saying don't buy it, I am saying it has limitations other than those the seller advertises. The photo and video really tell you what to expect better than I can. If the scope will fill your needs then go for it.Please ignore the date in the photo. It was what the scope came set as.The all white neighbors dog by the wire fence was at a distance of 5 yards in near total darkness at the widest zoom setting. That is a bit of snow on the ground.Video of my brother in law in my back yard at the fire pit at a range of 40 yards.Note his sisters facial details. Full zoom if I recall.

I ran this scope through its paces one evening and was genuinely impressed. The menu selections worked just like the directions stated without too much confusion. It does have some heft to it and would seem to be pretty sturdy. It should hold up well to extended use. The rechargeable battery held up fine and can be recharged with a simple USB-C cable. I did not try out the recording function as I didn't have the micro flash card with me but there is a 32 GB included in the package. It is a heavy unit but the mounting system seems to keep the weight near the center of my rifle.I could see rabbits using the night vision and the brightness was clear enough to definitely make out any targets in my field of view. The magnification is digital as there is not a power ring on the scope like most standard rifle scopes. This scope has a lot of features that I found useful, particularly the night vision. Something like this has only recently been available to the public at this price. It's amazing what it can do for $300 and seems to be a great value for the money.

Returned, no range finder, other then that it worked fine

I was very nervous about the quality due to the cheap price, $300 is a decent amount of money but not for a night vision scope. I am beyond pleased with the quality of this thing so far, just got it in yesterday and put it on an AR-15, zeroed it in at 50yds, seems to hold zero just fine, only about 50 rounds put through it so far. Picked up on a predator in the field about 250yds out and could see it just fine, made a kill shot at about 175yds at about 21:30 est and could see clear as day. The video recording works perfectly and is very clear also. Id share the video but not sure if its allowed on here lol Great product so far.

For the money it definitely combats more expensive infrared night, vision scopes, still not better but a great budget choice, I would use it for hunting or playing airsoft

OK, I have another, much bigger, much bulkier, night vision scope from Cyberdyne, and that thing is AWSOME!!! Yeah, it took a while to figure out how to set it up and zero, but I was able to do it with the help of the on screen menu. This thing on the other hand....I can't even figure out how to make it focus. Forget the 4 million features it has. What good is it if you can't get it to focus? I tried twisting every dial, pressing every button. and was not able to do anything more than get the menu to come up...but that's pointless if you don't have a clear picture. The other thing I noticed was that as I was messing with it...for about 45 minutes....the unit itself got very warm. VERY WARM. I don't know if that was because of all the time I was spending on the menu...ya know...making it work harder.....of if it was just routine operating temperature. I'm going to give this thing another try this weekend and see what happens, but for now, I am very skeptical that this will do what the other one does for half the price.

Limited field of view but works very well.

First thing to say is that calling this a "scope" or "optic" is slightly inaccurate. It is an electronic imaging device intended for adding night vision capabilities to the platform of your choice. With that out of the way, I'll address the details. Immediately upon unboxing I was impressed by the solid (very solid) feel of the device. Its rock-solid construction enhances my confidence in putting it to use in the field. The imaging is quite clear and sharp and provides accurate targeting details which can be cycled through with the easy to reach buttons. It is rechargeable, which is a feature I really appreciate. The electronic zoom works very well and the night vision is impressively clear. I cannot imagine finding a better such device in this price range!

Easy setup sighting in was a little challenging due to instructions. But for the cost it’s definitely was worth it clear as a bell at night love it

This is one of those products where the phrase "manage your expectations" should be printed on the front of the box. This night vision scope is a lot of fun, at a great price point but it isn’t a professional-grade tool.First off, let’s get the comparison out of the way. If you’re trying to stack this up against a multi thousand L3Harris or a high-end PVS-14, you’re doing it wrong. This is a digital night vision optic, which means it’s essentially a camera sensor and an LCD screen. For backyard plinking, airsoft, or even some light-duty pest control (raccoons don't stand a chance), it’s a total blast. It’s a "novelty" item in the best sense—it lets you play in the dark without taking out a second mortgage.The "Pro" Features: For a budget unit, the extra-long runtime actually holds up. Expect to get a solid 2 hours of continuous use on medium settings, and the fact that it charges via USB-C (or can run off a power bank) is a huge convenience.The IR Illuminator: The built-in IR torch is surprisingly punchy. It’ll illuminate targets out to about 150-200 yards in total darkness. Just keep in mind that since it’s an 850nm-860nm light, the "glow" from the emitter is visible to the naked eye if someone is looking back at you.The Image Quality: During the day, it looks like a standard digital camera feed. At night, the HDX sensor does a decent job, though it can get a bit "grainy" or "pixelated" as you crank up that 5-25x digital zoom. Since it’s digital, you aren’t getting more detail as you zoom in; you’re just enlarging the pixels.The Build: The aluminum frame is stout and appears to be well machined. It feels much more like a "real" scope and less like a toy. It even holds zero fairly well on low-recoil platforms like a .22LR or an air rifle.The biggest complaint I have is the field of view. Because of the digital sensor, it feels a bit like looking through a straw. It’s not great for rapid target acquisition or close-quarters stuff, but for a stationary target on a range, it works just fine.The Bottom Line: If you want to feel like a "tacticool" operator in your backyard without the $5k price tag, the StarStrike-S Pro is a winner. It’s a high-tech toy that delivers exactly what it promises—a way to see in the dark on a budget. Just don't expect it to survive a tour of duty, and you'll be more than happy with it.

Works fine someone needs to learn to zero on here

For the money I think it’s a better choice than ATN

This Triton SS Pro HDX scope is a perfect compliment to just about any rifle. Optics are clear, it is very easy to zero and after multiple trips to the range, no adjustments have been necessary which is WONDERFUL!! This scope is usable during regular or low light situations and the reticle is bright and clear. Battery life hasn't been a concern to this point, showing no signs of slowing down after several weeks of repetitive use. Easy to mount on any pic rail and meshes well with other accessories as well! A++++++++++++

I had the opportunity to run the Triton StarStrike-S Pro HDX 5-25x Optic over the weekend during an outdoor range and field exercise event, and after putting several long days—and even a night session—behind it, I came away genuinely impressed with the overall performance and versatility of this optic.Right out of the box the scope gives a solid first impression. The construction feels sturdy and well-made with a durable finish and quality machining. Once mounted, it balances well on the rifle and doesn’t feel overly bulky despite offering a fairly wide magnification range.Glass Quality & ClarityOne of the first things I noticed during the daytime portion of the event was the clarity of the glass. During bright daylight conditions the image remained crisp with very good contrast. At 5x magnification the field of view is wide enough to quickly acquire targets during drills, while dialing it up toward 25x gives you the ability to really focus on distant steel and smaller targets.Even at the higher magnification levels the picture stayed surprisingly clear without excessive distortion around the edges. That made spotting impacts and making quick corrections much easier.Turrets & AdjustmentsThe turrets are another area where this optic impressed me. The clicks are tactile and audible, which is exactly what you want when making quick elevation or windage adjustments. Throughout the weekend I dialed the scope multiple times while engaging targets at varying distances, and the tracking felt consistent.Returning to zero was simple and repeatable, which is something I always pay attention to during field-style shooting.Night Use PerformanceOne of the more interesting parts of the event was the evening portion where we continued shooting into the night. This is where the illuminated reticle and overall light transmission of the StarStrike-S Pro HDX really came into play.As the sun went down and ambient light dropped, the reticle illumination became extremely useful. The brightness settings allowed me to dial it in just enough to clearly see the reticle without overpowering the target view. In darker conditions the illuminated reticle made target alignment much easier, especially when engaging steel plates that were partially in shadow.The glass also handled low-light conditions better than I expected. While obviously not a dedicated night vision optic, the scope still allowed for clear target identification under range lighting and natural moonlight conditions. Combined with the illuminated reticle, it remained very usable during the night shooting portion of the exercise.Magnification VersatilityThe 5–25x range really proved useful throughout the weekend. Lower magnification worked well for quicker target acquisition and closer range drills, while higher magnification allowed for precise shots on smaller targets further out.Having that level of flexibility meant I didn’t feel limited regardless of what stage or drill we were running.Battery LifeAnother strong point is the extra-long runtime. I used the illumination both during the late evening session and periodically throughout the day, and the battery held up without any issues. It’s nice not having to constantly think about power levels when you’re out shooting for extended periods.Real-World Field UseBetween the daytime range work and the night field portion of the exercise, this scope saw several hours of continuous use. It handled dust, changing lighting conditions, and constant adjustments without any problems. Most importantly, it maintained zero throughout the entire weekend.Final ThoughtsAfter a full weekend of real-world use—including daytime shooting and nighttime drills—the Triton StarStrike-S Pro HDX 5-25x proved to be a very capable and dependable optic.What stood out the most to me:Clear and sharp glassWide and versatile 5–25x magnification rangeReliable turret adjustmentsVery useful illuminated reticle for low-light shootingExcellent battery life for extended sessionsIf you’re looking for a scope that can comfortably handle long range sessions during the day and still remain usable once the sun goes down, this one definitely deserves a look. After this weekend’s range and field exercise, I’m confident it’s going to stay in my regular optics rotation.

The magnification is not even close to 25x. More like a 2-6x . In the day at 40 yards I can’t see where I hit on the target with a 22. That brings me to my next issue. I maxed out the elevation and it’s still 6” low at that same 40 yards. I’ve contacted triton, we’ll see how they handle this.The scope at night isn’t bad for the money. But if I’m unable to zero it’s worthless. I can see clearly to 100-120 yards.
