Thread: New LR 'Scope

So I've had it for 24 hours and done an initial assessment.

Well packaged but no sort of lens caps.
Its a gun metal grey colour.
Everything works as it should.
Crisp etched reticle.
Turret dial-able and sharp clicks. Not mushy. Taller target turret with zero stop and cover provided as an extra in the box.
Weighs 20 oz

I've compared it to a new HD5 I've just received back from the factory.
I think the glass on the HD5 might be very slightly brighter, but it has always suffered from light flare on the lens. I tested them both for this with a lamp in the background and the HD5 showed red flare and the Toric was perfect.

More once Ive tried it on a rifle.

Is the reticle fine enough for longer range rabbit shooting Tahr.

I have the ballistic reticle and its about the same thickness as the Zeiss z600/z800 so I would think that it might be marginal for fine bunny stuff.

Thanks.
I asked them for subtensions a week or so ago but the said they were still working on putting that info up
I could email and they said they would give them to me but wanted to wait until you got yours to see what you think of the dialing ability and the return to zero consistency.

@Tahr and @jakewire I've ordered an Athlon for my .223 the 4-20 might suit your needs jakewire. EDIT the 6-24

Pretty happy with my Athlon Ares BTR so far.

Clicks are a bit mushy but accurate.

Reticle is excellent but have not shot bunnies with it. Being ffp it would be better with a floating centre dot.

Athlon certainly have a good stated warranty.
