The Athlon Midas TAC HD is a solid choice for the shooter looking for a scope which doesn't compromise performance and does it without breaking the bank. With fully multi-coated HD glass, a zero stop elevation turret, capped windage, and a side adjustable parallax, a lot of capability is packed into this high power optic. The 5-25X magnification range gives a wide engagement range, while the generous 56mm provides ample field of view. All of this sits in an argon purged one piece 34mm aircraft aluminum tube to make the package waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof. The illuminated first focal plane reticle is MIL based and etched into the glass for added durability.
The Athlon line up has an optic for every shooter, regardless of budget or skill level, and what we, at Charlie's, like is the quality and value that Athlon provides at a great price point. We see a number of shooters using scopes like this one for PRS competition or training. Not every scope needs to be made to throw off a cliff. Athlon makes some smart trade-offs without letting the customer down.
The big brother in the Midas TAC family, this 5-25×56 first focal plane scope gives you even more versatility. A minimum parallax of 25 yards and 32 Mils of elevation travel makes this scope perfect for close range rimfire or long range engagement with standard and magnum calibers. HD glass and advanced Fully Multi-Coated lenses enhance target appearance at all distances. A true precision Zero Stop for a repeatable return to zero and a capped windage turret give confidence you’ll be able to make the shot.
