    Tikka XM bottom metal

    I remember seeing MDT was releasing a bottom metal for Tikka T3 for their XM-length magazines; when I inquired about it, they said they don't have any plans. Anyone know what happened with that? Any other options out there to run a slightly longer mag?

    Talk me out of an Arken EP5 5-25X56mm FFP MIL VPR for my son

    I've looked through a 4-16 SH4 and wasn't really impressed at all. I did just buy an EP5 but even then the SH4 owner thought the EP5 was better and the Athlon Midas TAC was better than both. Though, this makes me think Arkens QC isn't quite up to par, because you may very well have a super...

    Rifle Scopes The Arken Optics Thread (merged)

    Nice! I threw an Arken EP5 on my brother's Savage 110; definitely hard to beat from a value standpoint. My buddy brought his SH4 to compare and it's definitely a step up.

    Talk me out of an Arken EP5 5-25X56mm FFP MIL VPR for my son

    I have the 5-25x56 Midas Tac and this past weekend my buddy and I were just comparing our scopes, but he was extremely impressed with the Midas. He owns an SH4 but I had the Cronus, Midas, EP5, and a PA GLX out there. First words out of his mouth when he looked through the Midas was "Holy...

    Athlon Helos BTR Gen2 2-12?

    I used to have the Athlon Helos BTR G2 2-12 on my AR10. Replaced it with a PA GLX 4-16x50 due to the reticle (the GLX has the ACSS Athena reticle with the chevron). Glass, turrets, etc were way better on the Helos but when shooting out at 500yd the reticle/dot was just too thick. I think for...

    whats the deal with arken optics?

    I tried to take pics, but it was a failure. (I had a camera mount but left it back in CO, and using two tripods was a PITA). Anyways, my buddy and I tried to compare our scopes yesterday, looking out to about 500yds and late in the afternoon. Scopes we had: Athlon Cronus G2 and Midas TAC 5-25...

    Tikka T1X first impression

    That's good to hear. I was having a hard time deciding between the EP5 and a Athlon Midas 5-25 for my CZ457. Eventually went with the Athlon but the Arken is now even cheaper with the coupon(like $430 shipped), so might grab it anyways.

    Scope/Spotter bag or backpack

    You think if I put a strap on the spotting scope and wear it around my neck, I can just tell them it's a camera? lol

    Scope/Spotter bag or backpack

    My only grip about those cases is they aren't really designed to stack one on top of another (at least I haven't found one). I measured one of my scopes and they're about 17.5" long. The spotting scope is of course shorter but also fatter. Their cubical cases would work but there's also a lot...

    Scope/Spotter bag or backpack

    Not sure if this is the right place to ask but just wondering if anyone transports their glass separately from their rifles? I have two rifles that I want to transport through TSA but the case will only fit both of them if there's no scope. I have sunshades on both optics(Athlon Midas TAC and...

    Rifle Scopes .22lr CZ 457 scope suggestions

    Just an update, I ended up going with a used Midas TAC 5-25 and am EXTREMELY happy. It comes fairly close to my Cronus at the ranges I plan on using it. I had actually ordered the EP5 but ended up cancelling after seeing reviews all over the place; I just didn't want to take that chance since...

    Ring height suggestion for CZ457 with Area 419 30moa and Athlon Cronus

    I have a CZ457 Varmint coming in and have also ordered an Area 419 30moa base. I currently have an Athlon Cronus 4.5-29x56 that I want to throw on there that also has a 3" sunshade and Aadmount caps on there. Looking to order a set of ARC rings before everything gets here but does anyone know...
