Good, Bad or ugly

I see a price of about 1K for the one with the higher magnification. Is there better out there for the price ?
 
Have a look at the Athlon lineup... more features and travel for similar money.

Midas TAC 30 and 34mm options

Ares BTR Gen 2 30mm

These are all using the new turret system from Athlon which is AWESOME.

Excellent no brainer warranty but not something that I have seen used much

Have a look in the UK. Exchange rate helps us right now plus advertised prices are -20% for the vat as a foreign buyer. Small export document to complete emailed in. My scope shipped the other day and will land at my door $200 cheaper than I can get here but very comparable to US prices. Place I ordered from also had demos at 1/2 the price.

I’ve got 2 of them and I like them a lot. I’ve got a 2.5-15 with the deploy sfp reticle and a 3-18x50 With the same reticle. Good glass, everything has a nice solid feel nothing janky or feeing of poor quality. one downside is the parallax turret must be really soft aluminum I ended up with a nice ding right on the edge it didn’t affect function at all.
 
Mystic Precision sells Athlon.

If your dead set on a forge, watch the elevation adjustment. 3-18x50 has 84 MOA and 4-27X50 only has 60 MOA. Not a lot if you're going for distance. I'm switching from the Forge to Athlon soon.
The reticle on the FFP in both Brands are nice.
 
I have a brand New Bushnell Forge 3-18x50mm which will be post on EE soon. Nothing wrong but good quality and clear glass.

I'm trying to stick with what my LGS sells, and they only sell bushnell and not athlon. I'm interested in the forge 3-18 x 50 FFP so please keep us posted. I'm also curious if the reticle is visible/usable at lower magnifications (below 10x), I wish bushnell offered it in illuminated reticle to guarantee its visibility.
