NRL22 Nationals Gear Survey results are in!

Well should clarify not too surprised at CZ as they were basically the ONLY option up until a year ago for a decent price.

I would like to know what Athlon optics are so popular?

Im thinking a fairly quality optic for a good price, and 25yd parallax focus.
Edit: Sorry, misread your post. Id like to know which models as well..

I bet it is probably a good range of full product line considering the range of rifles. They have been so well reviewed across the range, I would expect the full range.
 
It looks like they added a detailed link in there as well, but it doesn’t include everything. I guess they were not able to get a full list. I’ll check it in more detail later.

CZ's are popular because they are decent quality, work well, have good after market support and are affordable.

Athlon has the best reticles, focus close, have good glass, are inexpensive, and track well. As long as you don't have unreasonable expectaions for the pittance you paid you'll like them. And you guys can thank me for my great input, as well as Kevin for including these cool features. We changed the tactical riflescope industry for the better!
 
Dang I am surprised at the CZ being #1 and Athlon being #1 as well.

Next year Vudoo will be #1 watch.
I’m not surprised by the CZ. They seem to be the most popular at local clubs and in the most popular 22 YouTube videos. I love mine and would be hard pressed to get rid of the ones I have. As Steve said, they are not too expensive and easy to upgrade to get excellent results.
Because Vudoo is more of a boutique or niche offering, I can’t see them being number one on a list like this. I love my Vudoo too, but it really isn’t set up to take over the market like mass production stuff. Just like you see many more 10/22 listed than Kidd. The competitors for nationals were many different levels and ages, and it would be hard to see them leading a list like this. Remember, this list isn’t telling you what the best stuff is, just what most people were using.
As far as Athlon, I am very pleasantly surprised. I love my Cronus, especially for the price. The reviews are most often excellent, but they seem to get dinged because they are new and people are withholding judgement until they have a longer track record. That’s fair, but it is good to see that people are speaking with their wallets and trying them out. It is only a matter of time before people feel more comfortable with the new guy.
