[QUOTE="GHDIII, post: 1983129, member: 112499"] I got caught in the Athlon "value" hype. My regret was almost immediate. I had a Midas Tac. The scope was a bit heavy, but absolutely beautiful to look through. That said, the scope simply would not hold zero. The Tikka that it lived on was sub MOA laser with my cheap Leupold 3-9 freedom. With the Midas Tac though... Sometimes the gun shot well and sometimes I had to actually search my target for impacts. Once, for no good reason whatsoever, the gun decided to shoot 10 inches high at 100 yards. I moved the turret down 10 MOA (40 clicks) and the next group of rounds moved down about 1.5 inches. I sent the scope back to Athlon. They tested it and sent it back un-repaired. Athlon claimed the scope passed all tests. The scope was replaced with a Accupoint in the same price range. The Tikka is a laser again. [/QUOTE]
