Hey guys
Looking for a new scope for more long range schooling
I’m looking at the
Vortex® Viper® PST™ 5-25x50 FFP Gen II
ELEMENT OPTICS NEXUS GEN II 4-25x50 FFP
#Athlon Optics Ares BTR GEN2 HD 4-27
What would be your thoughts
I have the Vortex Viper PST Gen2 5-25x50 and I have no complaints.
I also have the two Arken EPL 6-24x50 and I am happy with them too.
But my go to scope is the Burris Veracity PH 4-20x50 of which I have 4.
The reason I like the Burris is that it has a built in ballistic calculator, it has a heads up display that has a built in anti-cant electronic gauge on the heads up. But the best thing on the heads up once sighted in at 100 yards you can use a laser rangefinder and then dial the elevation turret to the exact distance to the target, and that distance is displayed on the heads up.
I use this scope on a Seekins Precision Slam in 6.5prc, a Fierce Mountain Reaper in 7prc, a Sig Cross in 6.5cm, and a Fierce Sidewinder in .223 Wylde. At my hunting lease I have steel at 100yds, 165yds (in Feeder pen), 305yds, and 520yds. All four of my rifles get “IMPACT” (Jim’s favorite word) at each distance simply by turning the heads up display to those yardages.

Looks like
It only comes in MOA
I go all MRAD
I feel better with it and all my research showing me that mrad is better ( for me at least )
But thanks
It does look good for what it is
It might be a really unfortunate time to buy this Athlon scope… shot show is just a few weeks away… just sayin…
I think they’d both beat the Vortex, but I don’t know that I could call a winner between the element and Athlon.
