    1-8 / 1-10×

    The March shorty DFP is a very unique scope. It has few faults and although I don't know for sure I'm guessing it's got similar IQ to the NX8. This March isn't spectacular in IQ but not bad either. Although the illuminated dot is small in my March DFP 1-10 shorty it's pretty bright. Probably is...

    EoTech Vudu 3-9x is in the House !

    People tend to get scared off with the .3mil/1moa center dot on the HG2-12 so I wonder how they'll react to this?? Does it have daylight bright illume? Before you mentioned it I was thinking the same thing - put it on a tactical lever action using straight walled cases. Too narrow of niche...

    Air Gun Picture Thread

    I sold three airguns last weekend so I bought two more, lol. This is one of them. Just a while ago today I took the first shots out of my new Skout EVO 22 cal. It has the 1 in 15.75" barrel for long slugs. I tried the Altaros 32.3gr and 40gr King in the 55 fpe area which is the factory setting...

    The new Athlon Ares BTR G3 2.5-15x50, initials, and ongoing thoughts.

    This thread is about the new Ares BTR G3 line of scopes, specifically the Ares BTR G3 2.5-15, with maybe branching out OT a tiny bit but not as much as you have, and not to be rude but would you please delete your post here and start your own thread. Thanks

    Good .223 DMR/MPVO Optic These Days?

    Get the HG2 2-12 and next year when the other companies figure out MPVO reticles you can put the HG2 on a 22rf or hunting rifle. You'll like that big dot more than you ever thought you would especially if you aren't on 12x all the time. That Ares BTR G3 2.5-15 is also a great option for AR's...

    Nice paint job on a "non air rifle".

    Anschutz 1727 APR

    It'd be neat if Anschutz partnered up with a ammo company to make heavier higher BC 22rf bullets and barrels with faster twists to accommodate the ammo.

    Anschutz 1727 APR

    Thanks for posting this. Man that is THE ULTIMATE!!! I'm so glad they made the thumb tab too!!!!!! Though I'm surprised they didn't do 12 round mags.

    The new Athlon Ares BTR G3 2.5-15x50, initials, and ongoing thoughts.

    I thought better of lugging around the 6mmFatRat AR for jackrabbit hunting so I put the G3 on my Savage A17/17 HMR. I went out this morning and did a quick 50Y zero then drove a few miles farther to the place where my dad used to take me hunting when I was a boy. This area is pretty flat with...

    Custom rifle or take the money?

    I used to use a 17 Rem with a boutique bullet called the Kindler 30 Gold, 30gr, which had a higher BC and was great for pelts and distance. Then switched to 20 cal though. 204R is a little power house and I liked it except it's a loud round with a snappy recoil impulse in a light rifle. I'd...

    22arc versus 6 arc

    I can see why some people would prefer a shorter semi to run a can but I use brakes on my semi's and for long range I like longer barrels. Mine is a 22" 6mmFatRat/95SMK/.5BC/2924 fps, which is quite effective and has a softer recoil impulse. Pretty much does .75 MOA which isn't bad at all. The...

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Ares ETR Gen2 vs DNT The One

    I bet! The turrets on my Ares BTR G3 2.5-15 are as distinct as my Cronus G2's except wider, edit/ and lower profile, both attributes I prefer.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns If you had $2000 to spend for a range pistol…

    I had one for years and did well with it locally and won matches. Even though it was minor power factor, because of the weight on the rear of the slide, it rocked "up" quite a bit and no one at the time could get the trigger as light as I prefer. But it has my favorite grip feel yet for a...

    The new Athlon Ares BTR G3 2.5-15x50, initials, and ongoing thoughts.

    Yes that particular ETR is fantastic! Same here on the G2 4.5-27 version and sorry but I think somebody else will have to comment on the G3 4.5-27's IQ since I have no plans to get one and that I already have too many scopes unmounted as is. This G3 2.5-15 has won out and is staying mounted on...

    Precision Rifle Gear Are 147’s still blowing up?

    Slightly OT but how about 6.5 150gr SMK blowing up?

    Which Midas Tac variant?

    Darn that sucks those scopes got killed! My friend has a ETR 3-18 and a MT on his long range 7Saum and 300PRC with out any problems but he doesn't shoot enough that I doubt he'll burn a barrel out on either.

    Which Midas Tac variant?

    I sold my original MT 4-16 because I felt the reticle was too thin for low mag and I prefer all .2's. The only thing that put me off with my original MT 6-24 was for the same reason, it didn't have all .2's either. I have friends that love this scope as their favorite all timer and these guys...

    Rifle Scopes Is there a market for a good MPVO

    And locking or capped windage. Also nuclear bright illumination which helps solve reticle issues of FFP at low mag.

    The new Athlon Ares BTR G3 2.5-15x50, initials, and ongoing thoughts.

    It looks like that 5-30 G2 MT has retained a capped windage but has illumination now whereas 1st Gen MT's didn't have illume before. Still pretty lightweight for a 34mm tube and 56mm objective at 30oz and 30 mils of travel. The G3 Ares BTR 4.5-27 has a 30mm tube with 50mm objective. It has 24...
