Have you received it yet? If so, what do you think? The one I've played with had great clicks and tracked true. Glass seems to be on par with the Midas BTR. Athlon just put a video up on their facebook page running that scope to 1,000 yards and back.Thx, I didn't hear anything back so I just bit the bullet and ordered her one. I'll put my thoughts on here when I get it and can take out to distance.
I bought a Midas BTR ( I know not identical) and I thought it was not worth the $400 I paid for it. It just "feels" cheap, and the glass was terrible past 800 yards. I returned it and got a SHV 5-20. Side by side, both on 20x, the NF was much better to my eye. Was it over 2x the cost of Athlon? Yes, but confidence is a huge part of shooting and NF builds nothing but confidence.
The Ares and Midas btr have the same glass. I have the Ares as well and kept that
I'd say you must've gotten a bad one! I'll agree the turrets could have been better, but the glass is great. There must've been an issue with the glass on the one you got.I bought a Midas BTR ( I know not identical) and I thought it was not worth the $400 I paid for it.

I look forward to seeing how it does in the box test!Yes, It came in. Although she hasn't shot it yet, We are very pleased with the scope. The glass is "excellent" for the price of the scope. Functional, Tactile, audible and user friendly. Well built!!!. I cannot attest to tracking yet, but if the reputation precedes, its going to be excellent. Ill post more when we box test it and put some rounds down range.
