Here is the luna mounted on a 7.62x39 suppressed upper that I'm going to finish sighting in while here in Houston this month. The ATN is still in the case at the house.
Needless to say, I'm stoked to find out that suppressors do not require ATF paperwork to cross state lines!! So I brought a few over with me so some of the lads at the office can send some rounds downrange and get bit by the bug as well! I tend to catch a load of crap about being a "gun nut" redneck, blah; blah; blah; by my colleagues from the North Sea/UK region. Each time I come over to the office, I bring a few irons along and take the boys out to some of the excellent ranges here in Houston and let them test drive the hardware.
Every [beeep] one of them, comes away with smile that a mule eatin' briars would envy. So, I'm trying to do a bit of Ambassadorship to the unlearned masses. This run will include two Scotsman, an englishman and a cloggy (read dutchman.)
Cheers,

One other thing of note on the Luna. Notice the dedicated daylight filter on the pop open lense cover. This will allow you to sight in during daylight hours and also allow you to use the gun in daylight if required.
I think this is another way that the Luna outclassed the ATN, where you actually get more scope for your money. Yeah the case isn't as sexy as the pelican type case you get with the ATN, but at the end of the day you've paid for optics; not neat trinkets and some optics. My two cents worth and I'll shut up now!
I hope this helps you guys out with your decisions.
