Don't think I am going to be able to swing the $$ for the Zeiss I wanted for this rifle. So looking at a couple of 24 hour campfire favorites - at least to some people. I know these two scopes aren't apples to apples, but want a strong dialing scope that can take some abuse. Mechanics are more important obviously, but like most, I still like to look thru good clear bright optics. If you had to pick one of these - which, are you going for? BTW - I am looking at what's available now, so that eliminates a SWFA 6X or 3-9x42.

My internet reading tells me the Athlon may be the better scope, but I sure like the looks of the reticle in the Arken better.
