Athlon talos 3x12x40 review - Athlon Optics Talos 3-12x40mm 1in Tube Rifle Scope, Second Focal Plane

Compared to the scope I replaced a 4x12x42 Vortex Crossfire II, this Athlon Talos 3x12x40 center-X reticle scope is far superior. The glass is much clearer, brighter and sharper at all magnification levels. Everything on this new scope works pretty much ok, mounted it on my Ruger American in 6.5 Grendel and sighted it in easily at 100 yards with 4 shots. I continued to shoot several good groups (sub moa) after sight in with no shifting to initial zero. The only thing stopping me from giving it a 5-star rating is the vertical adjustment, 1 click is far greater than 1/4 moa more like 1/2 moa, but knowing this now I can live with it and is not a problem for me.
