[QUOTE="Shootin4fun, post: 1353148, member: 28741"] First, I'd like to ask about the difference between these scopes in terms of image quality, i.e. clarity across the range of 5-20 and brightness. Anyone have first hand experience? Looking at them today at 2 locations I could not tell. They're both about 30 oz. I'd like to get it down to 20ish. Next I'd like to ask if anyone thinks the Sightron III 6-24x50 is on par with these in terms of image quality and tracking. And to pile on the questions, how about the Athlon Midas BTR 5.5-27x50? Any first hand experience on these 3? I'm into medium long range paper punching (300 - 600 regularly, 1000 occasionally if I can find it), and hunting (in the mountains with plenty of hiking) out to 500 with a new 6.5 Creedmoor that I just bought. The gun is about 7.2 naked unloaded. Would like to keep it under 9 lbs loaded. [/QUOTE]
