Most Helpful Positive Review Great glass, awesome reticle
I put this scope on a varmint .223 build. I absolutely love it. The reticle is nice and thin, perfect for target shooting and varmint hunting. At 100 yards I can easily center the reticle on a 1/4 dot on only 15x. Any other scope I own would cover that dot or not have a clear enough picture to s...

Good deal for the money

by Mark S., from MA, United States Written on August 22, 2024
I recently bought my first Athlon scope and installed on a Howa 308 24 inch carbon wrapped action. I then decided that I have the same Howa action in 6.5 Creedmoor and I wanted a little more magnification, so I went with this one. I got to tell you, I have been shooting for a good many years and these scopes are one of if not the best priced scopes on the market and have very, very good glass. When you get old like me, you need clear glass with little distortion around the edges. Turrets have distinct clicks and it holds zero. I'll be buying more Athlon scopes for future projects.
Pros:
  • Easily adjustable and locking turrets
Cons:
  • None
Would recommend: Yes

Scope has held fine last 4 years but PITA in some respects

by huntertx, from TX, United States Written on November 9, 2021
Overall decent value for the money. It holds zero, glass is ok, descent in hunting but glass could be more clear. Setting the zero stops is an absolute pita. It took a valuable hour of range time to complete. Scope just lives of my tikka ctr 6.5 and tgats fine. I went to change the battery and no f-ing way that is going to happen. Tried with channel locks and crescent and it turms but does want to come off. I gave up b/c do not want to destroy scope.
Pros:
  • works fine
Cons:
  • sucks setting up zero stops
Best Used for:
  • hunting but would not hike it over mountain
Would recommend: No

Great value

by John, from TN, United States Written on November 3, 2020
Great value, tracks well. Glass is clear and reticle is super functional. Second focal plane is the way to go. The zero stop is extremely simple and functional. 30 mm tube is the minimal size for adequate elevation and windage by todays standards. Truly a good scope at a good price.
Pros:
  • Ease of use
Cons:
  • No sun shade
Best Used for:
  • All purposes
Would recommend: Yes

Pros:
  • Clear
Cons:
  • None
