[QUOTE="Kmccord, post: 1901170, member: 99039"] I have an Athlon Gen 1 BTR Ares 4.5x27x50 scope that is very clear and compared to my Vortex Gen1 Viper PST 6-24x50 is just as clear and less dollars than the Vortex. The Gen 2 Athlon BTR Ares is running at 849.00, I am looking at a new scope for my 6.5 Creed and really thinking about putting the new Vortex Strike Eagle 5-25x56, they are 699.00. I personally have never had an issue with any of my rifle scopes and this would include a Redfield 3-9, Simmons 3-9, and several Bushnell's. I personally would not spend over 1k on a scope, some people believe you need to spend as much if not more on a scope as what you paid for a custom built rifle. A lot of people will disagree with what I just said, but for a hunting gun and shooting 800 yards max, the ones I listed would do all you will need and leave more money for other items you may need. Just my .02, let us know what you end up doing. [/QUOTE]
