Hello everyone, I have looked on this forum for years but this is my first post. I am a casual shooter and looking for a scope for a Savage that I put a Criterion 6.5 creedmoor barrel on. The closest range that I can really stretch out the 6.5 is about 3 hours away. I will be doing most shooting 300-600 yards. I want the ability to go 1000 plus with the scope. I am trying to decide between the Athlon Midas Tac 6-24x50, Sightron 4-20x50 or a SWFA 3-15x42. Thanks for the opinions.
 
Welcome to the Hide. Best thing to do in your situation: Go to OpticsThoughts.com. Hide member Koshkin. Genuine optical engineer with an interest in shooting. You should find your answer there. Now my opinion: I've been using The SWFA 3-15 about 10 years. Have no need to consider anything else in this $ class. Never a problem or complaint. But, go see what ILya has to say about all 3 in your choices.

I’ve been very pleased with my swfa 3-15 tracks well, keeps zero and eye box is very forgiving imho. I have no experience with the others.
