I have been happy with mine but it’s the only Athlon scope I have used so I really Can’t compare it to any other modelsSorry FNG here, can't seem to edit my response from yesterday for clarity,
DVOR has Athlon Helos BTR 2-12x42 on timed sale for $380
OP was asking about Athlon Helos BTR 4-20x50 experiences, that's what led me here but got confused somewhere, I've been losing sleep trying to select parts for a new build.
I did just buy the Athlon Helos BTR 4-20x50 today for a Howa mini 1500 build currently underway, I should have it in a couple weeks to compare to the Midas TAC 6-24 currently on my CZ 457.
Athlon Helos BTR 4-20x50 had pricing of $535 which made me cringe, as the Midas Tac was about $350 on sale and I expect has the better glass of the two, but I really wanted the illumination and feautures on the Helos BTR. Was going to get an Arken comparible in the $300 price range, but it did not have the illumination strength (or reputation) that was important for me and I just bit the bullet, tired of losing sleep on this decision paralysis.
