I was just curious if anyone had , and could compare the Image quality between the Athlon, Heras spr , Helos..., and the Midas Tac HD gen II?

I was hoping someone out here could enlighten me as I'm hoping to outfit an airgun that I'm hoping to make a longer range airgun.

I don't own anything that compares to my one higher end Meopta Optika 6 (which is on the Mora) but seem to be reading the newer Athlons might come close? But which.....

I'm not looking into the Ares because i'm limiting how much I can spend and they are too much.

Any insights would be appreciated.
 
The only Athlon that is as nice in IQ is the SFP ETR 15-60x60. Its debatable that Athlon used the same glass in the Heras 15-60×56. Some believe it is.

My Cronus G2's don't even have as nice of a IQ as Optika 6 or my ETR 15-60. My CG2's are 4 years old so its possible the latest are improved, I couldn't say.

In build quality feel the Helos G2's are at least equal to the Optika 6 and the higher lines of Athlon's are superior IMHO.

I'm not trying to find an Athlon with the same IQ as the Meopta but find out which of the ones I listed is better for IQ.
