Athlon also comes with a warranty that transfers to new owners if you resell. Helps the scope retain value. I have used the warranty on a pair of binoculars with no issues and quick turnaround. Thanks for the extensive testing and review. Good info.

Do you do any type of durability/zero retention testing or is the use these scope see mainly dialing and recoil stress

Athlon to be honest

2 months only testing but zero retentions is great.
durability not yet but I believe I may be keeping them longer to do more testing.

What cartridge are you using to do your tests?

Athlon to be honest

Quality review right there. If someone posts a review without looking at the cons of a product I dismiss the review as biased. You did great! Was it the eye relief/eye box that makes you choose the Athlon over the Tenmile?

If one of you pick up one of these let me know what you think about the glass quality.

I bought one due to James' review and the turrets are fantastic but the glass was poor compared to my Leupold MK5 and Nightforce NX8. So much so that I returned it.

I could have gotten a bad one but no matter what I did the glass was not up to par on the one I had.
