which scope for my Bergara 14R

[Coyotejunki]

I just bought this rifle and now I have to scope it. I read the review on the

Athlon Midas TAC 6-24x50mm​

I am seriously looking at that one, but reading some of the other post here, It seems the Gen II are better? I plan on getting a 20-30 MOA base for this, plan on shooting 25 out to 300 Really want to keep the price under a 1K, prefer < $800. I would like good repeatable tracking and decent glass.

What do you all recommend?

MIDAS BTR. half the money. I have 3 of them all on Vudoo rifles

 

[BuckeyePrecision]

The Vortex Viper Gen II's are always a solid option.

MIDAS BTR. half the money.

Certainly not half the money of a Midas TAC (Midas TAC is about $680, Midas BTR is about $580). Also, the TAC is a first focal plane, BTR is second focal plane. The Midas BTR is a great scope, however.

I have two Midas TAC scopes...one on my B14 6.5 Creedmoor and one on my B14R. The Midas TAC is a fantastic scope.

I put a Vortex Strike Eagle 5-25x56 MOA on mine and am quite happy with it.

Have 3 MidasTac's, if I was in the market I would take a hard look at the Vortex Strike Eagle...

 

[Big Bo]

Midas Tac will do all you say you want in a scope, and more. Solid choice.

 

[Navy Gunner]

I have an Athlon Ares BTR 4.5-27 perched on my 22. You can find some in your price range.

Sorry had a senior moment, meant I’m using a Vortex Strike Eagle on my Bergara.

I just put on my Bergara the Vortex Viper PST Gen2 Mrad 5-25x50. Seems perfect to me. Can’t really comment on anything else. It’s my first set up.

 

[Tomiboy]

I have 2 Midas TAC 6-24. One on my Tikka TAC A1 for PRS and one on my T1X for NRL22. I think it would be hard to find as good a scope for the money. The others mentioned are also good scopes. I love the retical on my Athlons

I am running a Burris RT25 5-25/56

SCR2 FFP on LaRue 20 MOA Base with Warne Med rings and carry 300 on Dial Only. 400 is full dial and 12 mil hold.

 

[King_beardsly]

I’m running an athlon Ares BTR gen2 and it’s been pretty stellar so far, running it in hrt medium rings in a 20moa base. I haven’t pushed past 100, so I haven’t bothered to see how much room I’ve got left to dial yet.

 

[Destmiker]

I also have the Vortex Strike Eagle 5-25x56 (MRAD) on my Bergara. I've been really impressed with the scope. Optically, I can't really see any difference between it and my PST Gen II 5-25.

Another vote for Vortex Strike Eagle

Stop looking and buy this scope. You won't find a better scope at this price. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1020586712

With a 30 MOA rail, you can go past 400 yards with just the dial.

Parallax ruins that one tho for me, I like rimfire to have be able to focus at a minimum of 25 yards.

Rifle Scopes - Another FNG Seeking Assistance With Scope Selection (22LR Precision/ELR, etc.)

Just ordered a Bergara B14-R (22LR) Need recommendations on a scope that I can grow into & perhaps swap onto a better rifle later. I always attempt to purchase Made in USA products. I also attempt to boycott any Chinese products. It is becoming more & more difficult to accomplish. I bought the...

Love my Midas Tac...No complaints about anything on it. I almost bought another except I wanted to try out an XTR III.
You might also take a look at the Bushnell Match pro.

I have that scope, and parallax goes down to 25 yards. Unless they changed it to 75 yards on later versions, but that wouldn't make sense.

Edit: I just searched, and this scope may have been made with different distances for minimum parallax. I'd call Midway before ordering, to see what they have. https://www.snipershide.com/shootin...lite-tactical-hdmr-ii-cr-close-range.7035540/

 

[FormerFarmer]

Bushnell's website lists it as "50 Yards to Inifinity ".

 

[sparky702]

I own a bushnell dmr2 and 50 yds is the minimum distance for focus .

 

[Delta Echo]

Bushnell's website lists it as "50 Yards to Inifinity ".

And Midway lists it as 75 yards, and mine is only 25 yards. It's clear that they made different versions of that scope.

 

[Boxerglocker]

The Athlon Midas TAC is a great choice, especially for a NRL22 PRS 22LR build.

 

[david walter]

Guess I’m the odd man out. I have a SWFA 6x MQ in Burris Signature XTR rings with 20 MOA in the base and another 40’MOA in the rings.

 

[slickalaus12]

midas tac is a great scope, i also have one on my rimfire, although the one drawback is in hunting situations where the 6 power on the low end makes for a small field of view.

that said, i understand most guys aren't trying to both benchrest, and hunt with the same rifle, so it's likely not an issue.

It's called the Midas TAC, not the Midas HUNT.

I have one of the older 2014ish DMRs with 5mil/rev on my 14r and the 50yd parallax is fine for me. Was a good deal back when it came out I feel it's still a somewhat relevant optic. That's a good deal though on closeout
