My wife and I use to run vortex and NF on just about everything until we were introduced to the Athlon line of glass. They might not feel as nice as NF, but they are consistent, great glass quality and are a fraction of the price! We have tried almost all of the different Athlon scopes and configurations. We are fans. I'm not saying they are better than nightforce, but they are on par with plenty of other scopes for a fraction of the cost. Of course, this is all my opinion.
