Putting together this 6.5 creedmoor I just bought. Will be using it for target/precision shooting, no competitions. I’m trying to keep my budget close to the $7-800 range. I know there have been other threads lately and I have read through them. I’m now looking at these two scopes. I’m looking at the Athlon ares btr gen2 4.5-27 and the USO ts 25x 5-25.

mom more focused on turret repeatability/reliability/accuracy than glass. I’ve found the uso for $700 and the athlon for $747.

any advice would be appreciated

Edit: the USO TS-20x just got threw in the mix for $779

I had a USO TS-25 that broke after 5 shots - objective lens became loose. Splendid customer service however, but I decided to go with another brand. Glass was alright, nothing special. I feel like my $600 Vortex was better. Turrets were OK as well.
