I think I’ll move one of my higher magnification scopes on this CTR and see how that works. I have another, a CTR-ish in 6.5 Creedmoor that’s a sporter barrel cut down to 20” threaded and in a CTR stock. Probably drop the Athlon 2-12 on that one just to keep the weight under control. Good Call. E I agree. Sounds like a sound solution. Originally Posted by raybass I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style.

Which one gets your vote for clarity? I’m liking the Athlon better than my Arken side by side. Same two models you are showing. Not by much but noticeable.

Which one gets your vote for clarity? I’m liking the Athlon better than my Arken side by side. Same two models you are showing. Not by much but noticeable. For Utility Killing,the Athlon. Hint. "Glass" makes zero fhuqks,but locking turrets do. I think most folks would opine an erector that yielded 10 Mil's per revolution too,if only to keep Base Ten a thang. Hint. The 30mm tube on the 12x,shirks a fair mount of mass,yet retains more erector travel. As magnification increases,the view tends to take a hit,along with parallax being more fickle. All of which,tends to grease Athlon skids in direct comparison. Hint. Everyone who gawks the Athlon,tends to comment upon the brilliance of the view and that don't suck. It's a friendlier platform,with milder mannerisms. No question. Hint. The reticles are VERY different and that can lead folks to take sides. With acclimation,I gun the Athlon differently now,than I did a dozen of 'em ago. If/when eeking finite precision,on a subject unfavorable to it's centerpoint's subtension,I simply Straight Eight it ala Heinie. Doing thusly,I can hold hard and have my way upon things,WELL shy of centerpoint subtension. Hint. At like magnification,in like ambient light,I find the 12x faster too. Hint..................
