N5KDA's Review of Athlon Optics Ares ETR UHD 4.5-30x56mm APRS1 Rifle Scope

I've had and been using this scope since early 2019. I shoot 300 and 600 yard scored benchrest. For 600 yards it's not enough glass(power). 30X is not enough to see the one inch X ring, or any ring. The 9 rings is thick and I have to hold center. At 300 it's the real deal. I'm getting A Night Force Competition for 600 yard work and this scope will go on my 300 yard rifle.

I get the chance to look through just about every scope that can be used for target work. My scope tracks right on the money from my 100 yard zero all the way out to 600 yards with no problem. The marks in the recital are also spot on. I can see my hits at 300 and my sighters at 600 yards. I use the marks to measure and then click elevation or windage. It also works great for hold offs. The glass in this scope is as clear as any scope I have looked through, and I have looked through NF that cost almost three times the price. Every shooter that has looked through it has been impressed.

It's a no brainier. If you need a top quality scope in this power range, and you are not a brand snob, this scope is great and is a lot less money than some other well known stuff.It's your money spend it like you want, but this scope shows you spent wisely.

GOOD 34mm rings ain't cheap so keep that in mind too.
