This is a "Part II" (See part I here: • Athlon Midas TAC 6-24x... ) evaluation of the Athlon Optics Midas TAC 6-24x50mm first focal plane riflescope. In this test, I mount the scope, perform a reticle alignment test, and shoot a "box test" to evaluate tracking. This is an amazing scope for the money!

Gavin. Nice work. Hey man it's super cool that a guy with 70k+ subs replies to comments. I'm getting turned off by the huge channels that reply to 0 comments. At least reply to a few. Thanks bro.

@Ultimatereloader 5 лет назад

Thanks man- it's a LOT of work for one guy, but I love the community (and get a lot of valuable info and feedback from you all too)

Gday Gavin nice review mate I've been looking at the athlon Midas hmr 2.5-15x50 for a long range hunting scope (low profile turrets) how good is the HD glass compared to the vortex cheers mate

@myketheoneill 4 года назад

can you compare this to the Arken, as I feel these are direct competitors and the FX1000

@bryanmarks4070 5 лет назад

Check out the snipers hide turret tracking target at box to bench precision. Most scopes can track fine around the zero but struggle when you dial at the top range. Good video tho. I’m looking at getting one. I have a athlon etr. I love it.

What attachment are you using for your bipod to the upper? Do you use the Magpul Mlok or a different mount?

@ace60485 5 лет назад

I just paired one of these with a Savage 110 tactical desert in 6.5 with the APLR4 (MOA) reticle due to your first review. Keep up the good work!

@cooperwafzig9152 4 года назад

How do you like the scope, and does the savage shoot cheap ammo well? Been thinking about picking one up

@commonsense5709 Год назад

The cheaper 30mm 6-24x50 Midas Tac and Ares BTR 4.5-27x50 both seemed to be noticeably clearer than the 34mm 5-25x56 Midas Tac we recently tested.

@nospam3409 3 года назад

Really wish that the turrets locked like the do on the Helos. 4-16 is a great magnification range for a multipurpose precision hunting rifle, but it really needs caps or locking turrets. The Ares adds illumination, and more range on the magnification, but still lacks the locking turrets. That's really my only negative comment about the Midas or the Ares.

@johnglynn7795 3 года назад

Hello Gavin, would you mind informing me on what exact and size rail you have when mounting your Atlas bipod on your B14HMR. Thank you again for your informative videos and a big fan! Safe shooting, Jg

@GetMeThere1 4 года назад

How is your plumb bob setup created? It looks like a shadow, and it looks like it's indoors. I always end up doing it outside, throwing a rope or something over a tree limb -- and then spend 20 minutes being frustrated by wind making it sway back and forth, LOL. Even using a chain doesn't keep it from swaying.

@duanewilhite5746 5 лет назад

Just getting into the long range shooting and started with the Athlon Optics Argos btr 6-24x50 ffp. Didn’t want to drop too much on everything till I knew I liked long range shooting. I love it. The Argos is nice for the price. Glass isn’t bad but not great. No zero stop but tracks well. Think I’m ready for the Midas TAC. Thanks for the review!

@Ultimatereloader 5 лет назад

Good deal! Yes, I'm sure you'll love the Midas TAC :)

@ryridesmotox 5 лет назад

They will send you the shims for the zero stop. They don't work all that well imho, but it's better than nothing. I have em in mine. No substitute really for a true zero stop if you're going to be dialing hither and yon

@wilkinsonfamily3342 3 года назад

Gavin- Would you have any hesitancy in putting one of these scopes on a harder recoiling rifle, like a 300WM, assuming it was mounted correctly in a set of quality rings?

@bradleytyrrell4417 5 лет назад

Gday Gavin nice review mate I've been looking at the athlon Midas hmr 2.5-15x50 for a long range hunting scope (low profile turrets) how good is the HD glass compared to the vortex cheers mate

@rich1958 4 года назад

Question... why does scope have adjustment markings on elevation only? I would think either have marketing on both windage and elevation or none on both? Thanks!

@powersawtomfoolery6739 4 года назад

lol. you need a Caldwell rail mount brass catcher man!! digging brass out of snow or waiting till June when it melts sucks!

@TerrySprey 4 года назад

I just ordered one from Amazon $629.00 ordered a set of MDT rings I'm going to mount it on my Kidd Design 22LR

@johnnysaechao6218 5 лет назад

What powder are u using for the 90gr on the AR? I’ve tried RL 17 and 15 for 88eld haven’t had any luck so I got some h4350 loaded up with 88 eld and 80 eld to try next.

@tynottelling6584 3 года назад

I looked through all your videos for a review on element optics and found none. Have you done one and if so can you send a link

@josephbeaudet2772 5 лет назад

what mount is that on the AR?

@gcanaday1 4 года назад

I'm curious about this too, but more concerned about the bolt action. Would be nice to know both.

@paulwatterson5992 5 лет назад

Does the 224 Valkyrie which is shorter than the 223, cycle thru the AR faster? This is a great scope ... have one myself.

@Ultimatereloader 5 лет назад

COL is actually the same... 2.260" and yes, works in the AR-15 :)

@halfdollar86 5 лет назад

Does this have the same glass as the Ares?

@dragonflyfab8982 5 лет назад

Jeff sez Yes

@commonsense5709 11 месяцев назад

The Ares BTR Gen 2 is a superior scope when comparing both side by side including clarity. I thought they shared the same HD glass until I had both and sure enough the Ares was noticeably clearer.

@conservativesniperhunter7439 5 лет назад

Are Athlon Scopes US designed and manufactured in the Country or are they assembled overseas ?

@ryridesmotox 5 лет назад

Mine says China. I have the Argos, which is pretty much the cheapest one. But it hasn't been a hindrance to me yet. Been on my 308 out to 1k. Seems just fine.

@Fourty5 5 лет назад

everything from the Talos to the Ares are made in china. The Cronus is made in japan.

@KiLLaDaTa 5 лет назад

Low light performance?

@Ultimatereloader 5 лет назад

Can't really compare a 3-15 with a 6-24 :) Low light is great on these Midas TAC scopes...

@Fourty5 5 лет назад

I have the PA 3-18 and an Athlon Argo BTR 6-24. The Argos is amazing and would not hesitate to buy an Athlon. The PA ACSS reticle, while awesome in design, doesn't do it for me. I like my simple cross-hairs/Christmas Tree reticles. As far as glass goes, I shoot the 2 side by side every week, and can barely tell a difference. The PA is really crisp at lower power, 12 and bellow, but gets washed out easily in the higher settings. A sun shade helped a bit, but have never had an issue with the argos to even consider getting a sun shade. The one downside of the Argos is the turrets don't line up so its just slight right or left of the actual number, which isn't a huge deal for me, but could be a major issue to someone in a competition or other high stress situation, not sure if the midas has this issue though. Haven't done a tracking test, but there are videos of the Argos tracking on par with the viper pst, and the PA 3-18 tracking true as well. With my current experience with both scopes, I will be leaning heavily toward the Midas for my upcoming bolt action build.

@jmose1911 5 лет назад

Gavin, well done video as usual. You were born to be on camera and the ease with which you navigate technology is inspiring. But P L EA S E, pretty please, pretty please with sugar on top consider some bullet work both casting and swaging. I keep reading about amazing long range accuracy with cast bullets that wear paper gaskets? Check out the Los Angeles area Silhouette Shooters Club (LASSC) website. These guys are serious bullet casting dudes. I would love to see you attack some of these issues as your videos are easily understood, well-lit and photographed. At the risk of sounding paranoid, sooner or later this shit will hit the fan, it's a matter of physics what goes up must come down. The greatest of all civilizations in the 5,000 or so years of recorded history have all crumbled sooner or later. Bullet making, it seems to me would be a great subject to explore. Besides, I am having shit luck casting! Drive on buddy you're doing a great job.
