6.5 builds ...let's see them

I haven't shot this ETR enough to form a real opinion on it yet. Haven't even ran a tall target on it. Clarity is more than acceptable, reticle is much better than the BTR's. They were too thick. Clicks are much more solid than BTR's, more comparable to the Cronus. Love the locking windage turret.

As for Athlon in general I've been very happy. I've had around 8 of them, still own 4. I wasn't disappointed with any of them, some just didn't fit the need I was after. Least favorites were the Ares BTR's. Too thick of a reticle and the clicks weren't that solid. Favorites are the Cronus for sure, wouldn't get rid of them for anything. Second would be the MTAC's. Hell of a scope for the price if you are looking for minimal options. This ETR will probably be up there with the Cronus, but I can't honestly say yet with only 50 rounds or so on it.
Thanks I was looking at the Gen 2 SFP 4-27 looks like a heel of a scope for the money.
