[QUOTE="nksmfamjp, post: 2939637, member: 1951"] I have owned an Athlon Ares BTR 2.5-15. I thought it compared well to the Vortex Viper PST G2 3-15x. The Athlon‘s only weakness was the reticle was too fat and optical quality at the edge was a bit worse. Otherwise it seemed comparable and a few bucks cheaper. I went with the Vortex and have been very happy with it. I also have a Tract Toric 4-20x which is better in every way. That said, the Vortex is a more than capable aiming device everywhere I have used it. Even without locking turrets, they are never shifted in the field unless I adjust them. I suspect the Ares would be fine, if you are ok with the reticle and it’s Chinese heritage. [/QUOTE]
