Rifle Scopes $1200 budget. Burris xtr Vortex pst gen 2 or Athlon Ares etr?

[Jscb1b]

Which one would you buy and why? Thanks!

I would hold off and look at the browned precision optic. Looks to be solid

 

[Jonnyb0381]

I would strongly consider the Nightforce SHV.
The Vortex PST G 2 is a good option. The Athlon is ok as long as you dont run it in matches.

 

[Precision Underground]

Swfa 5-20 hd all day in that price range.

 

[b6graham]

cronus btr from PX all day

the scopes you listed are more the $900 range

hell maybe you can snag a 3-18 gen 2 razor

Very different from what I've read. What's wrong with the Athlon? I'm looking at grabbing one off of all the hype on this site specifically. Haven't used the ETR but have used various other ones.

I’ve had the pst2 and swfa 5-20. They are not even in the same league when it comes to glass.

 

[jinxx4ever]

i own both the pst gen 2 and cronus btr, no comparison between those 2. Athlon all day and twice on sundays. But we're comparing chinese glass to jap glass. From all i've read, ETR is "close" to the cronus BTR glass. So if it's even close, it's better than the pst. Just not impressed with it. I'll b taking a huge loss on the purchase price when i sell it

Send me a PM when you're ready to sell. I may be inclined to take it off your hands.

i'm about ready to sell, just haven't decided how big of a loss i want to take. Only has 6 shots under it since mounted Since i've bought it, i've also bought 2 Kahles 624's, athlon Cronus BTR, and NF 7-35x56 MIL-XT.

Dang with the ebc2c? That’s a great price. Of the three the op mentioned the only one I’d trust to beat the hell out of and still work would be the Burris.
