Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Long Range Hunting Scope for a 308 24” Tikka CTR?

I agree. Sounds like a sound solution.

Picked up a Athlon Helos BTR 2-12x42...extremely impressed with it. I think it would serve your needs well.

Sounds fishy. Hint.





Fhuqking LAUGHING!................

Stick...my eyes aren’t what they once were. Between the Arken and Athlon, glass quality? Which one gets your vote for clarity?
I’m liking the Athlon better than my Arken side by side. Same two models you are showing. Not by much but noticeable.

The best thing to do with a 24” barrel is cut 6” off of it.

For Utility Killing,the Athlon. Hint.

"Glass" makes zero fhuqks,but locking turrets do. I think most folks would opine an erector that yielded 10 Mil's per revolution too,if only to keep Base Ten a thang. Hint.

The 30mm tube on the 12x,shirks a fair mount of mass,yet retains more erector travel. As magnification increases,the view tends to take a hit,along with parallax being more fickle. All of which,tends to grease Athlon skids in direct comparison. Hint.

Everyone who gawks the Athlon,tends to comment upon the brilliance of the view and that don't suck. It's a friendlier platform,with milder mannerisms. No question. Hint.

The reticles are VERY different and that can lead folks to take sides. With acclimation,I gun the Athlon differently now,than I did a dozen of 'em ago. If/when eeking finite precision,on a subject unfavorable to it's centerpoint's subtension,I simply Straight Eight it ala Heinie. Doing thusly,I can hold hard and have my way upon things,WELL shy of centerpoint subtension. Hint.

At like magnification,in like ambient light,I find the 12x faster too. Hint..................

Appreciate the input.

I put a Leupold Vx-3i 8.5 -25 on mine. Pretty good set up

I know, we told them not to smoke the weed.

Optika 6

Guys are still answering this question when I think the OP already decided on which route to take. Maybe the OP can let us know how his decision is working out for him..

And posting pics that don't offer anything of value to the original thread how this going to help...........

I'm the OP and moved a Arken Optics EP-4 4-16X50 FFP Compact Long Range Precision Shooting Rifle Scope to this rifle.

How’s the Arken doing for you?

John

If my pics don't help you, you can't be helped.


Why don't you show one of your CTR's. IF you don't have one to post, STFU. Please show us your CTR's and how they shoot too.. I'll be waiting.

So far so good. Heavy, but a good value.

I’ve only been plinking, but I intend to do a 10 mil box check in the coming weeks. Been working a lot of extra hours.

I’m told repeatability is good, but we’ll see.

👍🏻

A 24" CTR is a hoss to me, as I own a 20". I can tell you mine has NEVER disappointed when I needed to make a shot for fun, on game, or in competition. Pick a distance - 25, 100, 300, 500, 1100. I expect yours to even more of a good thing.

i have a vortex razor amg for my long range stuff in 6-24 but im leaning towards an eotech vudu to see how i like that

Dropped mine into a UPR stock I bought off of Snipershide. HOPEFULLY, I'll get to shoot it this weekend.
