Need some help deciding between the 2 scopes , im leaning more towards the athlon because of the integrated zero stop but I'm a big fan of vortex ebr 7c retical. If anyone has looked through both how does the glass compare. Any info would be greatly appreciated
 
I would go with Vortex too, but only because the closest dealer on their website is 2 states away from me.
I used a Venom in an NRL22 extended range match yesterday and it was great, but spotting missed shots at nearly 200 yards was hard. If I had read the wind on the ladder stage (all shots just off the right edge) I would have felt much better - it was my second competition and I had 25 hits.
 
I have a Helos G2 2-12x42 DMR. I haven't ran across a scope this inexpensive that has "good - everything"! Especially the turrets.

A Strike Eagle that a friend owns has dismal feeling turrets that don't line up well. Other than that, and the reticle, it was okay for the price.
