D Davis's Review of Athlon Optics Talos 6-24x50mm 1in Tube Rifle Scope, Second Focal Plane
This is the scope that I chose for my Ruger Precision Rifle, I wanted an entry level scope to match the rifle. Unboxing the Athlon Optics, I was impressed at the level of packaging that this entry level scope came in, it was better than some of the higher-level optics that I have. Optics were better quality than expected, and there were not any issues with the optics that I could see from my initial inspection. Both the Elevation and Windage caps fit very well, and the turret adjustments were tight and had a tactile feel to them. The Parallax adjustment was nice and have a consistent feel. The magnification ring was great, it was tight and had a good feel - it was easily adjusted and there was not any sloppiness to it when turning. The illumination was a little distracting on the initial setting, but with the level of adjustments, it was easily remedied. The only con that I could find, was the clearness of the optics past the 16x magnification, although this was not a surprise for an entry level scope. Overall, this is my first scope from Athlon Optics but it will not be my last. Very good quality, and very usable for my needs.
Pros:
Machine Quality

Cons:
Clarity at 24x
