Is anyone excited about the new s6 field target scope coming out this summer?
The Athlon?I actually just had one delivered yesterday. Will have it mounted to my gun and give it a try next week. Reticle looks very fine, hopefully it won't be a problem.....
I ordered the Athlon Ares ETR 212108 in Late February which was suppose to be here in mid to late March. Have received to new ship dates from Anthon and both dates missed. Called today and informed sometime in June. I already paid for the scope in March from a popular Dealer and if the June arrival day scheduled is missed I likely will cancel it and order the S6. It was my first choice but I thought I could get the ETR as promised. The only thing I am concerned about with the ETR is the reticle may be too fine for my eyes to see on dark targets. The best scope for any competition shooter or hunter isn't any good if you can't get it on your rifle.Hello, Im new to the game here. I'm also looking at the new Sightron S6. Does anyone have anything to share on how Sightron's quality would compare to the Athlon Ares ETR UHD 15-60? Sightron just said availability is estimated in July. Thanks
I tried this ETR hoping to use it for HFT. The reticle was too fine for my eyes. Other than this, it was typical excellent Athlon Quality.I ordered the Athlon Ares ETR 212108 in Late February which was suppose to be here in mid to late March.

Use the Sightron SIII at around $1200. The Hawke Sidewinder 6-24 1/2 20X mildot is a good choice for HFT at $600. $2000? Nah!Thanks for the input. Another question. S6 $2000, Athlon $1100. worth the difference?
