I have several Nightforce scopes already but would like something in a higher magnification, e.g., Athlon Midas 4.5x27. That model has been discontinued and replaced, no issues with the new design! I personally wouldn't buy any of the cheaper priced series of their scopes,they might be great scopes,but I prefer higher quality optics.

I own Nightforce , Schmidt Bender and Leupold scopes and This own is far easier to overturn the turrets..... Great optical clarity, great power range, I have nitecore , leupold etc an its as good or better recticle pattern fantastic scope very underrated as I would by another, one of best values for the money. The midas is very comparable to the hst line of scopes. Super high quality and optics that rival much higher priced optics. I would buy again.

Image washes out at higher powers, turrets are a bit too easy to turn; they have a soft click/feel to them, I would prefer something more substantial.

First the box is the most heavy duty box I've ever seen a scope come in. After opening the well built box and now holding the Midas btr 4.5-27x50, I'm suprised by the feel of the optic. I've got a Cronus 4.5-29x56 and a Midas BTR 4.5-27x50. There are no reviews that match your criteria. You know what, Pastor? by Supposedly the cronus line is getting an etr update like the midas line did recerecen around new year. ive had the argos btr for a couple of year s with no issues with tracking and have the ares no issues both scopes from 100 to 1340 yards good scopes for the money. I messed with it but did not even mount the scope. Just not as easy as the 4 other scopes I have. I also noticed that I had a point of impact shift while zeroing from 15x to 20x so the scope is basically a 15x.

While the glass is fine and the overall construction seems to be as well my biggest complaint would be the softness of their turrets. Does anyone have an update on one of these scopes?

I’ll be honest I wasn't looking forward to reviewing Athlon optics. I will say that the eye box is very tight and that I can not shoot with this scope above 15 x because it becomes difficult to get behind. Glass is nice and clear. The Athlon Midas 1 to 6 power optic is one of the most versatile options for a wide variety of shooters. Me too. Might give it a try.

Illumination s great. I just believe you get what you pay for.

Email Only Sat I have always been a vortex fan. Policy. Thanks for subscribing to our newsletter! I just ordered a Midas 4.5-27x50 a couple days ago. Good review, thanks for sharing. I have not finished his rifle yet so I have not mounted it yet. by I shoot 2 Cronus scopes on different rifles and they have performed flawlessly. wow I really wish I could find some athlon dealers from around here .I like my minox but the reticle is a little small and reticle options are very limited.

Compared it with my buddies Night force the Athlon seemed to be as clear as the night force. from PA, United States Hey, Pastor, appreciate the review. The Athlon Midas 8x42 generally please our testers and is a good option if you don't want to spend close to $500 on the Editors' Choice winning Vortex Viper HD.However, if you're looking to save some money the Celestron Nature DX 8x42 is even cheaper, and isn't far off from the quality of the Athlon Midas..

Turrets aren't as audible as the hst, but they are still good. It’s on the short list for a new rifle.

It stays clear even at 27x but extremely difficult to get behind and impossible to shoot. Certainly not a hunting scope. Should be everything the BTR is but with capped turrets. I'm excited!
