Rifle Scopes athlon midas tac 6-24 aprs 2 or 3 ok for paper targets in the 100-300 range?

[vincent7]

Looking for a new scope to put on a .308 savage bench gun i built.

I'm normally shooting at 16x power, using these targets for 1oo yards http://accurateshooter.net/targets/targetaccshooter.pdf

Not sure if the Athlon Midas Tac center dot will be too big for that target at that magnification at let's say 100 yards?

From what i read the reticle is on the thinner side, which is good, but before i shell out the momey i wouldn't mind getting some input first.

Or perhaps there are better scopes for my intended use in that price range?

thanks for your input

I have the 24x and use the same targets for load development. The dot isn't too large.

My Tac usually stays on my 22 bolt gun, but I put it on the AR the other day to get more magnification than the 10x SWFA that I normally use on it. I was working up some loads and the extra magnification helped with shooting groups. At 16x, the dot is smaller than the red diamond on your targets.

The dot takes up roughly 1/10 of an inch at 100 yards. Occasionally when I'm lucky enough to shoot one hole groups I can lose the dot in them because of how small it is.

got it, thanks for the input guys. Anyone know how this scope compares quality wise to a sightron s-tac 4-20x50?
