Athlon Ares ETR

Does anybody have first hand experience with these? I hear mostly good things and yes I know they are made in China

Talk to Chris (P102). I think he has one and likes it.

Have been running the 4.5-30 on my Ruger RPR in 308 for about a year now. Used it through my SWAT sniper school and it was awesome. So far I have no complaints at all. Has performed right along with some other guys leupold mark 4's in low light shooting.

I have the btr and its been impressive for cost. Etr is supposed to be better. I have zero complaints on mine.

+1

Right now it’s kinda between the ETR and the pst 2 5/25

I have one, are you looking for mil or moa? Mine is for sale also never used it BNIB moa.

Mil

+2

No it's MOA the one I bought from Chris was mil and I sent it back to Athlon and received a new moa.

They would've heard from me immediately. That's

That's what I requested. Reason for the return.

Ah, well that makes sense.


Actually, no it doesn't you traded Mil for MOA.

MOA Rules!!!! (Gotta get Jason fired up).

BIL, I have the Ares TAC and really like it. I left it with Jason for a while, to get his opinion, but I think he got busy and didn’t really have time to run it through it’s paces. I think he felt it was a good scope for the time he spent with it.

I’d be happy to put you behind it at a range if you want.

Remember I did put it on my laser beam .223 A.I. and ran it out to 800 yards. Converting my Mil DOPE to MOA, and the scope dialed what it was told.

Yes, thanks, I remember that now....

Although I usually get down on Chinese-made scopes, it seems that Athlon has found a recipe for making mostly-reliable, decent glass quality optics from China. They're generally a step down from Vortex in quality (meaning don't be surprised if you need the warranty). But if budget dictates something less than an SWFA HD 5-20, then Athlon is a decent option.

Correction, scope I have now is the Midas TAC and it’s been great, especially like the 10 yard parallax. Only small complaint is the parallax adjustment is a bit picky.

Their customer service was really easy to work with and they had no problem giving me an upgrade to MOA

ETR or just move on. I might be able to get you a deal on one if you give me the correct model #

The Midas is fine, Buzz is just skeert of Horus type reticles.

You say buzz is afraid of a whoreass?

im afraid of everything
