Great hunting and precision scope - Athlon Optics Midas HMR HD 2.5-15x50mm 30mm Tube Rifle Scope, SFP

I now have three of these exact scopes on three different calibers hunting rifles. One sits on top of the new SA Waypoint 2020 in 308 and 6.5 Creedmoor and the third replaced a old and I mean old Bushnel Banner 3X9 scope on my 270 Winchester model 70 XTR that I bought new in the early 80's. These were a great fit on the Waypoints and so far this year alone have scored three bucks and a doe. My son missed a nice buck with his much less expensive scope the night before I gave him the 308. Next day he bagged a nice buck. Why, because where we were hunting was dense pines with thick brush and even though he had about 45 minutes left in legal shooting light, he just could not get a clear sight picture with his scope. Enough on that, but I can honestly say that these Athlon scopes collect much more light and give a clearer picture in low light and overcast days. They are a little on the heavier side, but they work great, clear class even on the edges, side parallax works awesome. If your looking for a great hunting scope for the money, its hard to beat these. I did the BDC model and found that with both 308 and 6.5 they are pretty darn close to the reticle. The only thing I'd like to see is locking turrets. But I also have never knocked it off zero and if I did, easy to return to zero. Hope this helps
