Overview
The ATN Thor 5 is a thermal rifle scope built around ATN's Gen 5 sensor, an HD OLED display, a built-in laser rangefinder, and an onboard ballistic calculator. It also records HD video and pairs with a phone app for reticle customization and remote viewing.
ATN prices this as a premium thermal optic, and most reviewers treat it that way, citing image quality and the app based live feed as reasons it earns its cost for night hunting. The clearest dissent comes from one buyer using it for predator control on a cattle ranch, who found the built in rangefinder would not read past 600 yards, which breaks the ballistic calculator for anything beyond that distance, and who described customer service as unable to resolve it.

- Built-in laser rangefinder feeds the ballistic calculator
- Custom reticle editor via companion app
- HD video recording of the thermal feed
Who it's for
Fits hunters doing night predator or hog control who want a rangefinder and ballistic calculator built into the scope rather than carried separately. Less suited to anyone who regularly shoots or ranges targets past 600 yards, given at least one report of the rangefinder failing at that distance.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Most reviewers praise the image quality, the app based live feed for sharing what they see with a hunting partner, and battery life through a full night of use. The clearest negative comes from a buyer using it for ranch predator control, who found the built in rangefinder would not read past 600 yards, making the ballistic calculator unusable at that range, and who described customer support as slow to help.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Image quality and app based live streaming impress most reviewers
- Built-in rangefinder and ballistic calculator work together for holdover
- Battery lasts a full night of use, per reviewers
- Rangefinder reportedly fails to read targets past 600 yards for one buyer
- Detail and clarity drop at higher magnification for at least one reviewer
- Customer support described as slow to resolve a technical issue
Performance notes
The Gen 5 thermal sensor feeds an HD OLED display for target detection in daylight or full dark, and the built-in laser rangefinder feeds distance directly into the onboard ballistic calculator so holdover is calculated rather than estimated. A companion app lets users build custom reticles and stream the scope's view to a phone, which one reviewer used to let a hunting partner watch the same feed live. Battery life is reported to last through a full night of use.
