Optic Reccomendation

[Deltagunner00]

Looking for some input on a budget minded optic for a 6.5 Grendel. Budget is in the $700 range.

Background; have used this rife a ton in the past with thermal to shoot lots of coyotes. My main coyote rifle is now a AR10 in 243. I want to use the Grendel more now for mid range use at 450 - 900 yards. Just shooting some steel, having fun and letting other get the feel for shooting.

I have a Razor Gen II on a 6BR that I shoot PRS comps with and have a Strike Eagle 5-25 on one of my rimfire PRS setups. Love both of those scopes and the Strike Eagle for its price point.

Kind of a lot going on there, but just seeing if I should look for something other than another Strike Eagle? Definitely want MIL/MIL.

Looks like the still have the Athlon Ares at Walmart for 565, I bought one, third one for me and a buddy got another for his .22. They're a good deal, eyebox is a bit tight at max power but I like their reticles and it's easy to get behind below max power. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Athlon-Ares-BTR-4-5-27x50-APRS5-IR-MIL/279194655

The Strike Eagle 3-18 FFP is on my 6 ARC. I like it, especially for the price, and the capped windage turret is a nice touch.

I have a 3x18x44 strike eagle and run it on a 20 inch 5.56 last year shooting gas gun matches . We only shot out to 750 yds and it performed very well . I hate the scope mount but it was what I had . I am going to swap that out .
