Initial review - Athlon Optics Ares ETR UHD 1-10x24mm 34mm Tube Rifle Scope, First Focal Plane

Came as expected in the box with no damage, included the scope caps, battery and throw lever too. Glass quality is excellent, the adjustment knobs are tactile and precise. The FOV at 1x is great and still good even at 10x. However my favorite range is about 1.5-6x as you still retain most of the generous 3.7in eye relief making transitions ans follow up shots quick. The Moa reticle is very nice at 1x and through the magnification range, the illumination is more than adequate for daylight use and also has the etched reticle for backup. The only downside to this scope in my opinion is the weight at 25+oz. It's not terrible just heavier than other LVPOs however those lighter options at this quality or better cost usually $1500+ and this is $740 currently. I've got mine mounted on my AR15 with an ADM QD cantilever mount.
