Athlon Ares BTR Gen2

[french_fried_taters]

Hey guys, I'm looking at getting a, FFP optic for a .260 Remington I'm putting together and was wondering if anyone has first hand experience with this scope.

It seems to have a lot of features for the price, but I'm also wondering if there is a better scope out there for similar $

Any opinions or suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Thanks!

I have 2 of them on my chassis rifles. They are well built and not bad glass only complaint I have is the size of the reticle on the large size at full magnification. The dials are light years ahead of vortex diamondbacks in feel and feedback. Oh and no sundhade included you have to buy them separately

The Athlon Midas Tac 5-25x56 has better specs on paper and similar price.

I have one, functions great, tracks great, looks good, like the reticle.
The bad, eye box is a bit tight, glass could be brighter, sharper.
I still like it but wish I had a budget for something more, but I don’t.
I also hunt with mine so I like the illumination for low power situations.

Plus one on the Midas Tac. It’s my PRS scope and it’s pretty hard to beat for non-illuminated option.

I find it dark after 20x,but has zero stop 25 paralax and illumination, so not bad for the price but my vortex pst gen 2 is alot better glass for my eyes.
