One of mine ordered isn't your cup of tea but it's the tracking/holding zero that's paramount for that one.  -Al

We've got a huge order in with Athlon for more. As soon as they get them into Kansas they will run them through QC and then ship to us and we will get them right out to you. We do have some of the Athlon Helos BTR GEN2 2-12x42 AHMR2 FFP IR MOA #214104 for those of you who prefer MOA (however, we are running low on those too)

LAUGHING!................ I'm whiplashed back to when I tested Swarovski's new 36X BR scope before it was released to the Unwashed Masses...... In all candor and if only in fairness,Swaro has yet to make a scope worth a fhuqk. Given their intents and direction,they likely never will either. Hint.(grin) Bless their hearts for trying though. Laughing!.......................

I've yet to see a scope that won't track or repeat,"MAGICALLY" be good at zero retention either. Hint........(grin) As to whether Athlon's mechanicals will prove up to the task over the long haul.....who knows? As you know, I'm not adverse to testing stuff and letting the results speak for themselves! I learned long ago to never say never about gear, especially optics. The first time I looked at a NightForce, I couldn't imagine a scenario where I'd own one. I was happy to be proven wrong. The 12-42 BR scope was one of the best investments I ever made in my competitive shooting gear. Good shootin'. -Al

NightFarce has come a long ways,but it has taken them a very long while to do so. They finally have some reticles,that are viable. Parallax and erector travel,remain hurdles for them. Hint.....................

I wish swfa would take notes and turn their 1-6 hd into a 2-12.
I'd be down for about 5.
If these work they'd be great but I sure wouldn't want to drop one . . .
Bushnells too busy building 36x telescopes to be king of the hill.
Fingers cross they bring back the 3-12 illuminated.
