DNT Zulus 5-20 V2 Review

I’ve been really impressed with the DNT Optics ZULUS HD ZHD520R V2.5–20× Digital Night Vision Scope right out of the box. They’ve made some solid upgrades that make a noticeable difference. The new 21700 battery means it runs longer without needing a recharge, which is always a huge plus when you’re out in the field. The lens is sharper and clearer than before, and the screen is brighter and easier to read, no matter the lighting. Additionally, having built-in memory is a game-changer - you can save your images and videos directly on the scope without fussing over extra memory cards.

One of the first things I noticed was how lightweight and compact this scope feels. It’s really easy to handle and quick to point, which makes a big difference when you’re trying to get on target fast. Setting it up took just a few minutes and was super straightforward, so I was ready to go without any headaches.

Zeroing the scope was surprisingly simple. I honestly think it might be one of the easiest zeroes I’ve ever done. It felt like a true one-shot zero, which isn’t something I come across often.

The ballistic calculator is also easy to use. I set it up quickly and didn’t have to mess with it again, which is a relief when you want to focus on the hunt instead of fiddling with settings. The only thing I’d love to see improved is the ability to move the laser rangefinder’s aiming box - it would be nice to customise it a bit more.

All in all, this scope feels like a great all-in-one solution, especially for pest control and night hunting. You don’t need to buy any extra accessories, which keeps things simple and cost-effective. It’s easy to use, lightweight, and reliable - perfect whether you’re new to night vision or have some experience. If you’re looking for something that just works straight away and doesn’t weigh you down, this scope definitely fits the bill.
