Rifle Scopes Athlon Ares ETR Gen2 vs DNT The One

I'm looking to pull the trigger on the GEN 2 ETR 4.5-30; after having yours for a little bit do you have any further feedback about it? Very interested in feedback on this gen 2..
Other than initial impressions nothing much to add. I am still waiting on rings, and took forever to get the KRG Bravo 10/22 chassis to work with the Kidd receiver and trigger housing. I cant really give a comparison to other scopes as the only other optics I own are a first gen PA 1-8 Raptor and an Arken EP-8 and a few 3x prism sights. Hell even though I own one I'm still dying to see some reviews of it on youtube and there is still nothing out there on this thing.

Steiner Predator 4 -- anybody got one?

I am considering the Steiner Predator 4 ... specifically the 4-16x44

It is hard to find many comments on this SFP scope

Wondering how the glass compares to scopes like the SFP Razor LHT or the Leupold 5 or 6 HD's

Also, how is the tracking? ... and how do the turrets feel (mushy?)

Durabilty?

It will be going on a Tikka Lite in .308

Hopefully some people out there have experience with this scope

Anyone using MDT metal mags with Hawkins Hunter BM

As the title states, I am wondering if anyone has run MDT metal magazines with success in their Hawkins Hunter bottom metal? I tried the polymer and they don’t fit, you’d have to do some filing. Was hoping someone else tried this before ordering. It’s for my 6.5 CM and I see that the MDT metal mags w/o binder leave me good room to load my bullets out long like my rifle prefers.

Cut rifled AR10 barrels.

I’ve looked at proof,(steel, not interested in a CF)

I’m not opposed to them and they are available. But at the price I’ve seen (out of stock) what I consider better options using Bart krieger and Douglass. With that said any of them can be ruined by a poor chamber/crown or portly assembled rifle.

Thanks for the suggestion, they are on my radar if I can’t find something.
Yeah, thing is most of the really great AR barrel shops are booked way out ( Craddock is 8-12 months for a Bartlein). Paul (cle) might be an option.

NEW From Zermatt Arms - RimX Actions

This has been known about for months and months. They knew it was an issue but kept selling these, then didn’t even really come clean with the fix. It’s still broken. They need to reimburse all the buyers impacted. Come up with a real legit resolution, then get back to making what was a pretty good rimfire action.

All that BS about calling the manufacturer! It didn’t resolve anything. That was some highly biased crap.

Are you affiliated with a certain company in the industry?

I havent vetted this but it seems true. Its a beginning.

These young women forfeited a game against a male player—one of the first teams in America to do so. They’ve been banned from sports competition in Vermont ever since.
Tomorrow, we’re going to court for them. Please pray

NEW From Zermatt Arms - RimX Actions

Since you’re defending RimX I don’t think your opinion matters much anyways. I’m no influencer, but defending the coverup, it’s not a good look. Keep using that weak material.
I’m not defending squat. I even said I don’t even know why they changed materials to begin with in a previous post. I’m not in the industry or even have a clue about materials. But a few of you guys coming on here and saying that it’s damn near a scandal or a so called coverup is comical at best. I’m just riding the wave.

All I have to say is your action better be 1000% flawless from the jump. Because once the actual non influencer customers get a hold one it’ll be really scrutinized. I’m going to get one for shits and giggles given that I already have one of each popular action on hand ie own to look over and use. It’s going to be interesting.
