    Rifle Scopes We Just Received an AMAZING Athlon Delivery

    Gotcha.

    Rifle Scopes Anyone try the Athlon Midas Tac yet?

    I wouldn't say that, The HMR is the new SFP. With all the benchrest type shooters and precision rimfire shooters out there, the demand for a second focal plane will remain. I would say, the FFP crowd is large and fast growing compared to SFP.

    Rifle Scopes Athlon 1-6x Cronus BTR Review

    Just out of curiosity, mil vs MOA for these 1-6x type scopes... Are you guys dialing the turrets for your hold-overs or using the reticle?

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Cronus BTR 4.5-29x56 Review

    Why not a 40 MOA rail?

    Rifle Scopes We Just Received an AMAZING Athlon Delivery

    That would be the 3 gun reticle. If you are using Strelok Pro for your substension data, the ATSR1 and ATSR2 (Cronus BTR) reticles are interchangeable. The ATSR2 loses the vertical crosshair in the top hemisphere leading to the center-dot. The crosshairs leading to the center dot are also...

    Rifle Scopes Anyone try the Athlon Midas Tac yet?

    The BTR is being discontinued and replaced with the Midas TAC and Midas HMR. Midas HMR and BTR are both second focal plane scopes, The Midas TAC is a first focal plane scope. All three will have different turret designs.

    PRS Talk Thoughts on first PRS match

    That's crazy. I'm glad you narrowed it down to the rings. Could you direct me to the article on the vertical split rings?

    Rifle Scopes Ares BTR to Cronus- Worth the upgrade?

    The Ares ETR fits very well between the Ares BTR and the Cronus BTR, in terms of glass quality. The new turret design is incredibly tactile/audible. The demo units we received are awesome, the factory really did a superb job. We just dropped a video of the Midas TAC out to 1,000 and back. I...

    Rifle Scopes Hunting scope ~$500

    For low light wooded areas, I'd say take a look at the Midas HMR 2.5-15x50. We expect to start shipping them in July. There is a choice between two illuminated reticles: a BDC style reticle and a MOA based reticle. I recommend this one in particular because it has capped turrets, SFP, and both...

    What features would you prefer? FFP or SFP? What's your typical hunting situation?

    Rifle Scopes 22 lr scope

    That's a shame! That would have been a heck of a deal. The Ares ETR is very close. The biggest difference when I looked at them side by side at long distance was the Cronus winning out in terms of image contrast and more vibrant colors. Clarity was neck and neck. The Cronus' eye box was more...

    Rifle Scopes Help with 1-6 or 1-8 for 16" 308 AR

    Here's my two cents... On 1-6x or 1-8x scopes, the primary purpose for me is the ability to rapidly engage targets while having a bit of magnification for those mid range shots (300-600 yards). Eye relief is the most important thing to me in these set ups. Can I increase magnifications through...

    Rifle Scopes Ares BTR vs Helos BTR

    I just wanted to clarify... The Ares does not use shims. It is an actual precision zero stop system. The Argos BTR however, can use a shim kit. Send me a message if anyone is looking for Argos BTR shims in this thread. Side note: Check out the Midas TAC, capped windage and exposed elevation...

    Rifle Scopes 22 lr scope

    You think that's crazy, check out longrangeonly for the Big Sky ELR Rimfire Challenge, ELR RimFire Event. They are going out to 500 and 600 yards!

    Rifle Scopes 22 lr scope

    I think the Cronus BTR would suit you well, but if there's other things on the shopping list , wait until July. We should be shipping the Ares ETR out then. It's quite a bit cheaper than the Cronus, but honestly glass quality is still on par! It does have a new turret system with very tactile...

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Argos BTR (AMR FFP IR MIL) (basic review)

    No such thing as overkill when you want to stay on target!

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Argos BTR (AMR FFP IR MIL) (basic review)

    Your muzzle brake looks real nice on that rifle. I like it.

    Hit up Doug at Cameraland. Pick up the Midas BTR. He's got them on sale right in line with your budget! Heck of a scope for the money.
