Rifle Scopes hunting scope suggestion

[ofl0926]

good morning everyone. hope everyone had a wonderful thanksgiving.
so with the sales going on for Thanksgiving weekend, i want to pick a scope for a Weatherby Mark V chambered in 300 weatherby magnum. this will be a rifle that i will probably use for elk next year. two scopes i was looking at were

Tract Tekoa 4-16x44 MOA
Athlon Midas BTR 2.5-15x50 MIL

so the tract scope is in MOA which is what i am use to. the athlon is in MIL which i have never used but considering cause of the price. I want to try to make this a 500 yard rifle. i have the range to practice at. is there another scope you guys have seen that i should consider? thanks again and Happy Holidays

You won't be disappointed with the Athlon.
I don't know anything about the tract to express an opinion on it. Sorry.

The Athlon is a good quality scope and with the sale we are running you can't go wrong

Midas BTR 2.5-15x50 - APMR1 SFP IR MIL reduced from $559.99 to only $249.99
or
Midas BTR 2.5-15x50 - APLR1 SFP IR MIL reduced from $569.99 to only $249.99

Don't be turned off by the mil vs. moa. If you have never used a mil scope, i can understand some reluctance but i will share my experience. I have many scopes in moa and when putting together my LR rifle i wanted a specific scope. Problem was i could only find that scope in mil, as no moa were available at the time. I was impatient so i ended up getting the mil version.
To my surprise, it was quick to get the hang of and since then...all the scopes i have purchased are now mil variant. Im not saying it is " the best ", or " the only way to go ", but being a long time moa guy, i have now changed my mind and prefer the mil variants.
As for the two units you asked about, i have no experience with either so i will leave that for others who have been behind them. Good luck with your choice, and happy turkey day to you as well.

Are you set on those two options? What’s your budget?

I made the swap from MOA to MIL a few years ago. Haven’t regretted it a bit.

Budget was to stay under $500
I am open to other options

Under $500, Athlon is your best bet.
