Mike Minnix's Review of Athlon Optics 8-34 x 56 mm Rifle Scope 30 mm First Focal Plane (FFP)
Just a short review of the Helos 8x34x56. Just wanted to let the shooters know that I have just started setting the scope up my Ruger M77 Hawkeye 300 win mag and this scope will be a winner. Ido f-class competition and the mil reticle is spot on. Just did some quick calculations with the reticle and it's dead accurate measuring distance and object size. The glass was a huge surprise as it stays totally clear and crisp. The turrets seems to be solid and auditable. But this is what will win you over. The eye relief is amazing at full magnification. Unreal. I have scopes that I have paid a lot more for and they don't have the eye relief or clearness that the Helos has. I'm completely took avatar as this was to be a relief scope until I could afford the top end Cronus. Thanks Athlon for a product that does what it is described to do. I will be testing the turrets and doping in some test to make sure the zero comes back to original set. Today's1290 yard rectile test has been a real eye opener. Shooters take a real look at this scope. It will not disappoint. Athlon if you need some competition feedback on your Cronus let me know. Great scope!!!!
