I have a Bushnell Match Pro 6-24x50 non-IR on my Savage 110 Tactical that was a poor choice for my purposes (I didn't realize it was meant for rimfire). Nothing wrong with the scope, its just the wrong choice for 1000+yds.......I got blinded by $350

I have 2 main issues(and a somewhat minor issue):
1) the center dot is way too big
2) No Zero stop
3) It doesn't show revs of the elevation turret

I am looking at either the Midas or Helos line from Athlon with the following features:
FFP
MIL
Zero turrets
Zero stop
Locking turrets
Show revs
Adj parallax
30 or 34mm tube
anywhere in the 4-35x range
50 or 56mm
Christmas tree-ish reticle
Illuminated would be nice

GovX has good prices on them.

Im not spending $1000+ on this, if I do any competition it will be sporadic and I know my skills will be by far my biggest hinderance.

So the question is which do you recommend.
If not one of those, let me hear another option.
 
We’ve had good success with the Midas Tac
(2) 6-24 and (1) 5-25

ETA. I recently picked up (2) Arken EPL 4-16 and they are doing well so far. Not many rounds on them. Similar price point so maybe worth looking into.
 
The Helo Gen 2 has been a really good scope and should fit your requirements. I also have several other Athlon scopes and they have been great.
