really like my Nikon FX-1000 ffp. My Vortex just isn't as clear. Looked at a few Leupolds and that will probably be my next scope

I am a Leupold fan for sure and have been for years. I also have a couple Vortex scopes. I prefer Leupold.

All that said, take a quick look at the scopes Primary Arms came out with. They have a couple different scopes that are set up for 6.5 creedmoors. I bought a couple of them for my son and I last year and I really like them.

SLx optics have built a reputation for innovation, reliability, and value. All SLx optics undergo rigorous field-testing during development to best serve you in any environment.The Primary Arms 3-18x50mm first focal plane illuminated rifle scope punches far outside of its weight class. At 3x magnification, fast snap shots at close range are a breeze with the daylight bright illuminated reticle, but the scope easily allows shooters to reach the 1,000 yard line when cranked up to the full 18x available at the top end. To make the best of the reticle at every magnification, it has been etched into the first focal plane. This allows it to be 'true' at every magnification, allowing the ranging, hold overs, and wind holds to be used as long as you can see them.Features:First Focal Plane reticle is true at every magnificationFull reticle illumination is daylight brightACSS APOLLO 6.5 CM Reticle provides ranging, bullet drop, and wind holds out to 1,000 yards in up to 20mph cross windsChevron central aiming point provides infinitely small aiming pointThe replaceable power ring fin can be positioned to user preferenceLocking, Zero resettable turrets30mm main tubeWeight: 25.4 oz. with battery, without lens coversWater proof, fog resistant, shock resistantLifetime warrantyThe 3-18x50mm is equipped with the ACSS APOLLO 6.5CM reticle, simply the ultimate option for 6.5 Creedmoor shooters available. Simply sight in at 100 yards and you are ready to engage at any range out to 1,000 yards with crosswinds up to 20 mph, all without requiring any math or touching a single turret. Combine the built-in range estimation and hold overs with an infinitely precise chevron tip aiming point and .2 MIL crosshair subtensions, and you have a firing solution at any distance.The 3-18x50mm scope body is our most advanced to date, offering new innovative features, as well as old favorites. A removable and replaceable fin on the power ring allows for rapid adjustment of the magnification range just like a magnification lever, with placement of the fin entirely at the discretion of the operator. The improved turrets have tactile and audible 0.1 MIL click adjustments, as well as offering easy reset once you've got your zero and secure locking to prevent accidental adjustments. The illumination turret offers six settings with an 'OFF' setting between each for fast switching to your preferred setting. A smooth parallax adjustment and fast focus eye piece work together to provide a perfectly crisp image of the target and reticle.Featuring clear glass, forgiving eye relief/exit pupil characteristics, and efficient industrial design, the 3-18x50 FFP Scope with ACSS APOLLO 6.5CM reticle is backed up by the Primary Arms Lifetime Warranty.See More

If you are looking for a good value, buy a good used scope. I would look at the Zeiss Conquest HD5 3-15 42mm or 50mm

FWIW I’ve sold quite a few Athlons to various customers, haven’t had a single complaint or issue. The Helos, and a few other models, are being discontinued/updated so MAP has been removed. From all that I’ve seen, their lineup is pretty solid.

I’m currently running an Athlon Ares ETR on my competition gun and absolutely love it!

I have a Huron 3-12x40 mounted on my X-Bolt. Haven’t shot with it yet but the one thing that I noticed is that the eye relief is pretty short. Glass seems nice but not real experienced with scopes.

I hate to bash other people's gear,but I swear..You couldn't give me a Vortex scope,for deer hunting.Target shooting,ar's,and stuff..Maybe.I mentioned them to a gun dealer buddy years ago.Hadn't been out long,and he said;for what? I said deer huntin'..He said,"you think they're better than those Leupold's that have been banged around all over the f'n world"?lol
I dropped a Remington Classic 338 win mag,with a VXIII on it,22',and landed on rocks.Beat the stock all to ****.Still dead on the next morning.I've got Zeiss,and Leupold's.I like Burris,and I've had one Swarovski.If I'm gonna shoot a deer with a rifle,one of those are gonna be on it.I wonder how many hippo's,and cape buffalo have been taken with Vortex scopes on those big hammer's..I bet not many.My 2 cents.

I have an old Vortex Viper 2-7x 35mm that has given me good service. A Leuopold 4.5x 14 40mm Vari X 3 that is still getting it done after 25 years. The Meopro 3.5 - 10x 44mm on my 30-06 is my favorite. I'm considering a 4.5-14x 44 mmm Meopro to replace the Leupy on my Sako and sending the Leupy in for refurbishment. Anyone done that with them?

And worse customer service in the galaxy.

Op... give liberty optics an email or call. I just ordered a leupold from Scott and he bested online prices by 150 bucks and had free shipping

If you go Vortex always buy two. That way you’ll have one to use while you send the other one in for the great warranty.

I’d find a used Ziess conquest.

**Big Mike M** · 10-24-2020, 09:17 AM

I bought a 4x12 Athleon scope for my 308. For $120, I’ve been very happy with it. Took 3 shots to sight in at 100 yards. Really clear optics for the price.

**Rem40x** · 10-24-2020, 09:50 AM

I personally will never buy another new scope. I can buy them used off of accurate shooter for **** near 1/2 off. If they are broke i will use warranty
