I have both Athlon and Vortex scopes. Both are great and I have had no issues with either. My Athlon Argos BTR 6-24x50 FFP IR scope has been mounted on my Savage 300 Win mag for roughly two years now. Works great, holds its zero all this time, and has always tracked and returned to zero well. You wont go wrong with either one. However Athlon is better priced for the exact same quality.
Athlon Optics Neos 4-12x40 Second Focal Plane Riflescopes >> Reticle etched on the Glass that provides excellent backing support for complex reticle design and offers great durability and much higher shock resistance to Recoil
Maybe I'm wrong but if the athlon has less error in moving your head wouldn't that make it accurate? Since you head will have to be in that spot, for the vortex if your head is off some wouldn't that make the shot off since its not the same as you sighed it in
One scope has 60 moa adjustment, the other 80 moa adjustment. Am I correct in saying that it is possible that the scope with less adjustment may have larger internal glass optics?
Are useful video and comparison. Granted, you weren't comparing two of exactly the same scopes and I wonder if some of those variants in the ocular were because of the magnifications? About the only way to really compare would be to put up a light meter and see which ones getting, side by side, more light. The black ring around the edge kind of tells me that somebody made choices on the engineering of the glass. The parallax adjustment is definitely something worth looking at. Fairly well done. Next time you talk about price make a little graphic about the price range say using a green line across the page from x to y pricing with the MSRP stuck in as an arrow somewhere for each scope and that way you know where the price ranges mix and where they don't. With the variance in pricing you have it's not easy to make a visual comparison given all the different places you can buy a scope and the prices they charge. I just bought a Talos out of Amazon for $140. This will be my athalon scope cherry getting popped. I'm hoping for big things.
@@MusicMinisterJP7 no matter what happens to the optic excluding purposely damaging it, they’ll replace it or fix it no receipts no matter if you are the original owner or fifth they honor the warranty
I bought a athlon 6-18x44 brand new. Out of of the box was impressive for the price. Clear glass. But once I mounted it and torqued everything to proper specs. It wouldn’t hold zero. Multiple shooters a box of ammunition wasted. Sent the scope back paid for the shipping to athlon. Got another one back really quick. Upon arrival I noticed it looked refurbished which would’ve been fine except it to was junk. I mounted my Nikon back on. Zeroed it in 4 shots, Golden. I would definitely not recommend these junk scopes. I’m now stuck with something I wouldn’t even give away. I don’t wanna send it back and keep putting the shipping fees back into it. Save your money and buy a quality product
I took my crossfire out to the range for the first time on Saturday it's mounted on my 17hmr all I can say is the black ring of death it was terrible I'm going to have to scrape it and buy either a Athlon Midas or Vortex Viper. I'm kind of pissed cause I had the scope cerakoted to match the gun biggest waste of money lesson learned you better pay a bit more and get a scope that work's I was even getting bad scope tube shadow.
