Athlon's two new 15-60x56's

[thane]

Heras 15-60x56 at 55yds 40x overcast day, handheld iphone image no image tampering.
Naked eye has greater contrast and detail, also reticle is in focus unlike camera images.
Reticle is thin, but very usable, center dot weak. No loss in shadow on overcast day, hard daylight in shadows would be an issue.
CA in center is good, degrades to perimeter.
To my eyes 40-60x @50-55yds makes 2yd ranging apparent and repeatable. Ranging values 40-60x differ on wheel about 1 yard at 50 yds. 15x is about 3-4 yds different from 40-60x marks on wheel at 50yds, more deviant at near ranging and soft between 55-50yds.
Lever handle covers wheel at 15x, silly.

WFTF or Open classes an excellent candidate, HFT workable.

Anyone know where to find a Eres ETR in stock? Going to be shooting benchrest soon and had to move my Nightforce to my powder burner so I am in the market for a Eres with high power and this one seems to fit the budget. I have been looking a few days now with no luck. One company reached out to Athlon and they were pretty quiet about this scope. Maybe they are making changes to it??

I have two of the Heras 15-60x scopes. They are very impressive. I will be using one of them for EBR and RMAC.. I would have preferred MRAD but MOA shouldn’t be a problem for benchrest. own the Ares and Cronus and think these are an incredible value.

Wayne at Airguns of Oregon had them in stock.

I've emailed Chairguns elite numerous times asking them to up load this scope on their app, but still nothing....Strelok you would send a request and maybe a week later the scope was added....

I have the Ares 15-60, very clear but is going to demand perfect eye relief and placement.

Yeah I heard the eyebox at high magnification is pretty tight.

They all are I think, I'll only run this at 40-50X. Still will have to build up comb, probably no free recoil.
