My thoughts....I like it, very well made, holds zero, tracks well, packed with features, illumination, rock solid zero stop, glass is pretty good.
I think for the price point it's great value, sure it's not up to nightforce, March etc specs but it's about 1/4 the price.
You could do alot worse, I don't know if there's any other scope in this price point I'd rather have that matches the specs.
Ffp would be nice and I think Athlon do offer ffp in some of their scopes but the price is substantially higher.

Thanks for yr thorts.
Cheers Trout.

PM me your address and I will send you some 52 grn Hammer Hunters. They shoot well in most things. Im using 60's so these are spare.

Thanks very much. Have you lost my address from the last sample pack you sent me?

Too far back in my messages to find.

Looks like a great set up, and will be great to hunt with.

After some rudimentary load development I managed to get down to the range between showers and complete a 8 shot sighting in session at 106 yards.

The top 3 shots in the white are from bore sighting, then 5 in the black. Very pleased with the result.

I enjoyed my time with a titan 6 luxus. I seem to remember Nick Harvey saying the titan 3 was the most accurate rifle they had ever tested. @Tahr will be along soon to tell you to be careful inserting the bolt as the alloy receiver marks easily, its good advice.

Yes. I have noticed the anodizing is marked at the rear of the receiver. It is a bit fiddly getting the bolt in/out.
What was you 6 chambered in?

.243. I played around a lot with different bullets and powders. It just shot everything well.
