I like Athlon scopes and that's what I have been using lately on a few of my airguns. I have a GEN1 Helos 6-24x50, a GEN2 Helos 6-24x56, and a Ares ETR 4.5-30x56. I like FFP, MOA scopes in the 6-24x50 range and there are lots of options these days.
I was looking for a lower cost option to put on a few of my other airguns. I have used Monstrum 6-24x50 scopes in the past and they are an OK option but I never liked their reticle all that much. I found a relatively new scope that I tried out and so far, it's good. The reticle is not as good as the Athlon scopes but it's the best MOA reticle I have found in the sub $200 scopes that fit my other requirements:
It does not have locking turrets or an illuminated reticle, but it does come with a sunshade and scope caps. It focuses down to 7yds and has almost a full rotation of the parallax knob, and a 16x mark on the magnification ring, so it might be a viable scope for AAFTA Hunter Division
