Better than vortex? yes it is!!! - ADE Advanced Optics ProZoom 3-12x40mm Rifle Scope, 30mm Tube, Second Focal Plane

I recently purchased this scope to mount on my Tikka t1x in .22lr. The glass is clear and the eye relief is great. I typically shoot this gun at 50 and 100 yards and I can see bullet holes easy at 12 power. After 2000 round it holds zero perfectly. The mildot reticle is great and very helpful for referencing the drop of the .22lr rounds. Parallax works great also. I have a few Vortex diamondback tactical rifle scopes and a couple other Athlon scopes and for the money spent I can say the Athlon scopes are better both in glass and overall quality of the scopes build construction. I know a lot of people that compare these two brand since they are close in price and in features but I can say that if your looking at both Id buy the Athlon. In my opinion it just nicer in every way and i mean in glass, tracking, parallax adjustment, turrets, and overall build construction. I hope this helps someone.
