    The Helos does in fact have locking turrets. The glass between the two is also different with the better HD glass being in the Ares BTR. For the 10/22 I would probably stick to the Helos as it will have everything you would need and great glass but stick to the 6-24x50 as it has more internal...

    There is no difference in glass between the Ares and Midas. The main differences are that the Ares is FFP, more internal travel, mechanical zero stop, slightly larger and more audible turrets, and different reticles(christmas tree style in both MOA and MIL). The Midas is SFP, less internal...

    I would confirm the mounting position of the Midas BTR both for height and proper eye relief. After that is good make sure the parallax is adjusted properly. If all that fails then there is most likely an issue as the Midas has excellent glass and is very clear and crisp. If there is an issue...

    The Helos and Argos actually share the same glass but with the upgrades it seems to perform a little better. Seems a touch brighter and clearer, the 8-34 is almost so able but still not good enough for me to recommend them so I stick with recommending the 6-24(has more internal travel than the...

    The delivery date for the Ares has been pushed back for a couple reasons. Initially it was because after receiving the demos there were some changes they wanted to make. That then I'm sure put the manufacturing facility behind and so on. They are in route though. Also so for anyone considering...

    The turrets are a bit better on the new Cronus BTR as well as a revised reticle and battery compartment cover. That said I've been running one of the original Cronus and the turrets have been very positive after changing the grease on the orings(which Athlon has now done as well).
