    Athlon Talos scope 6-24x50 SFP?

    Any good or really bad?
    I'm looking at this one...
    https://www.scopeuout.co.nz/collecti...nt=47511689548

    I tried a Vector 6-24 but it was not well made at all. Yeah, made in China and no QC at all.
    Don't want to spend the world.
    Scope is for my CZ455 Varmint (what a lovely thing) that will do double duty for critter busting and my Daughter/Grandkids to use at indoor benchrest (no...they are not being allowed to touch my Sightron Slll 45x45).
    So I would like 'something' in that top end of 6-24 (5-25 maybe).
    Don't know squat about the Athlon scopes, so hoping for some guidance.
    Or...I'd look at 2nd hand if you have 'something' that may suit? Prefer SFP over FPP.
    Thanks.

    I have the Athlon Argos HMR 2-12x42 on my 10/22.
    Good scope. Was slightly higher spec, around $800 when 55six was selling them.

    I have the 4 x 16 Talos ( one up from bottom model ? ) on my 308, love it. I don't know whether I got lucky but really clear, good turret clicks . For the money I was well happy.
