I wouldn't do too much reading on the internet (especially some of the threads on here about Burris), it's mostly made up of people bitching about things that don't work. You rarely see anyone post up things that work as good or better than they're supposed to. Everyone loves drama...
Good rule of thumb for the internet and reading scope and gun reviews... 75% of it is personal bias, and 25% (or less) is factual. So literally follow the old adage of "Believe none of what you hear, and only half of what you see."
My point being, the internet blows things way out of proportion and nukes things out of orbit with people who want to hop on the hate bandwagons to be "part of something" and feel cool. Most of these stories you read are either complete bullshit, happened to someone else and not the person claiming it did, never happened, or they heard it happened and got details twisted up through multiple hands telling the story.
Also, I won't own either Sightron or Athlon, personally, and Meopta is overrated.
