skipp's Review of Athlon Optics Helos BTR Gen II 2-12x42mm 30mm Tube Rifle Scope, First Focal Plane

First off, this scope is HEAVY and not quite as compact as I was hoping for 300 blackout pistol build. If you are looking to keep your rig light weigh, look elsewhere. I was pleasantly surprised by the glass on this scope for the Money. It seems more clear that many of my similarly priced Vortex scopes. The Ocular is very long though, requireing a very forward canted mount for an AR. Windage turret is crisp, but you can feel the o-ring making the elevation turrett a bit mushy. The pull out to turn feature is nice to have to prevent accidental adjustment.
Pros:
  • Price, glass, nice target turrets, first focal, illuminated
Cons:
  • very heavy, and forward turrets make mounting more difficult
Best Used for:
  • closer range rifles where quick target aquisition is priority over magnification.
