Athlons entire line is priced right! I haven't been disappointed with one yet. I really am happy to see they're making optics specifically for us now

I had these scopes for impressions sake and for advice. I like things that are different and what scopes stood out to me most were the 2-12 and the 4-20.
The 2-12 had really nice glass, a simple .2 mil reticle, not so short a scope as to hinder optical quality, and as light weight as I care to have. SFP, so the .2 mil hashes are visible even at 2x which is different than any other scope I know of?? The 4-20 relatively similar.
Fantastic scopes for a modern day hunter on a modern day air rifle and at a reasonable price!

I have 5 different models of Athlon scopes from low-high end on air rifles and real steel and I have always been impressed with their quality. I look forward to picking up one of these to test out.

I have owned 2 Athlons. Loved the 6-24 Midas Tac but upgraded to the Cronus.
I must say the Cronus is 1000% worth the money and I am glad I upgraded. If you are a "buy once, cry once" kinda person just get the Cronus is a stellar scope. But CameraLand puts the Midas on sale from time to time for a great price and it just awesome for the price.
I have a buddy who has both the Element Titan and the Arken (SH) and the Midas is better than both (in our opinion) in fact he bought my Midas bc he liked it so much.

Thanks. FYI, the new line is called HERAS. https://athlonoptics.com/product-category/rifle-scopes/heras-spr/

The Heras line is durable enough for Springers and most firearms.
Might not be the most wise option to use on a 700 Nitro Express for Africa but it should hold fine for normal cartridges

Hope they got some of the weight down . Thats my only real gripe on my athlons is there the heaviest scopes i got and can make a gun feel a bit top heavy.. like the talos i use is like 22 oz? Lol.. friggen tank..
Then if solid built i can get over that as well
