A Do Everything Optic For less than $1,000

About this video

Colion reviews the DNT TNC 225 LRF digital rifle optic, describing it as a surprisingly capable multi-function scope that includes thermal imaging, rangefinding, ballistic calculator, and day/night modes for around $1,000. He emphasizes his favorite feature—what he calls a ‘single shot zero’ system that he found remarkably simple compared to traditional zeroing methods. Colion positions this optic as ideal for casual hunters like himself who want versatility without spending $6,000-$10,000 on high-end digital scopes, though he notes it may not replace premium glass optics for serious long-range shooting.

Key takeaways

• Colion explains the DNT optic’s ‘single shot zero’ feature allows shooters to zero the scope in one or two shots by freezing the image and moving the reticle to match point of impact, which he describes as his favorite feature due to past frustrating zeroing experiences
• According to Colion, the optic performs best at 25-200 yards with acceptable clarity up to 500 yards depending on conditions, but won’t match the clarity of premium glass scopes—he sees it as a versatile companion piece rather than necessarily a primary optic
• Colion characterizes the $1,000 price point as a ‘gateway drug’ for hunters who want thermal, rangefinding, and multi-environment capability without the $6,000-$10,000 investment required for competing digital optics
