Athlon Ares HLR

Has anyone tried this scope out yet. Any reviews on them like what Form does? I'm thinking of getting one to put on my 6.5 PRC for elk hunting.

They dont have a reputation holding zero.

I currently have a Trijicon Tenmile on my elk rifle and it has worked just fine. The reason I was thinking about making a change was to save a little weight.

This specific scope?

Since this scope was literally just released, I doubt it

They have not even shipped to retailers yet. Supposed to be soon though. I have used several Athlons and they hold zero and track perfectly every time, at least out to 1000 yards and back many times.

Nope. Just athlons in general. Both from the test on this forum as well as in the PRS world.

I must have gotten the half a dozen good ones.

You read it on the internet so it has to be true. Glad the ones I have and abuse are running strong.

I will say though, PRS is hard on scopes and the little I played I had some high name optics that had to be doctored.

You have never had to re zero one of your athlons? Which models?

To be fair I have a Vortex Diamondback 3x9 that stayed zeroed on a rifle that was used and abused for 4 straight years. Never once lost zero, and those things have a much worse reputation.

There are plenty of guys on this forum that claim their Leupolds dont lose zero ever, and there are guys that have proven they lose zero riding in the back seat of a truck. I have a Mark 5 that wanders all the time.

So I dont doubt your experience.
