I recently purchased a Savage Mkii FV-SR. 22lr and I'm needing an optic for it. I have been looking at the 4-16 magnification range for this particular rifle. I plan to shoot steel targets out to 300yds for fun in the back yard, also pack on the atv and small game rifle. I think I want a SFP with holdover type reticle. Question is what would be a better value and more rugged? I have narrowed it down to the Burris Fullfield 2 4.5-14x42 OA w/ ballistics plex ($185) or the Athlon Talos 4-16x40 side focus MIL Dot Reticle ($149). 🤔🤔
Burris is Phillipines not USA.

Not China that's what matters to me.

True, very true. The bell of the Burris vs the Athlon looks much larger.
Burris according to their website says 56MM , No mention of a size on the Athlon site.
I have 2 of those burris scopes, one on a .223 and one on a .22wmr, they work well, clear, ballistic Plex is a good no frills system, hold zero well and track well. Little big for my taste but as I get older I find I need more scope past 100 yards.
As a side note, the ballistic Plex is a little thicker on these than the old 3-9x40 ff2, that's a very good thing if your vision is heading south, still no problem seing a 1 inch dot at 100 yards,
No idea, but, I sighted in a 17 HMR yesterday wearing a Burris FFII 3-9x40ish with the illuminated BDC and the dang thing is excellent. Purchased on some ridiculous sale we tossed around here a year ago or more.

Yep, nothing wrong with Philippine products. I've got a Philippine made dish washer. And she's damn good to look at too. Some would call her "Eye Candy."

I'm not sure how to take this... lol
I’ve never heard of a TROPHY Dishwasher before. Hahaha
I bought a French dishwasher.
Doesn't work very good.
Go with the Athlon, you won’t regret it.
I have an Athlon Midas Tac on a .260. Great so far. Either will do you just fine.

Shes kinda like a Leupold. Gotta take a screwdriver handle and tap the turrets to get er dialed in.
Maybe 2x4 would be better
Trophy dishwasher, term we always used to use when trophy wife first came out but back then almost all women but the cidiots washed dishes. Later on I learned it was less fuss to wash them myself.
But I sure have a trophy dishwasher now!
I'd take a Burris over any of the handful of different Chinese scopes on the market.
