NIB and unopened/still sealed. Including, picatinny rings, sunshade, battery, or anything else that comes in the box normally. $800

I'll miss this scope! In great shape, excellent glass, has always worked well, and has helped me win quite a few matches in FT and on centerfire Tactical rifles for Field Courses on steel. The H59 is my #1 choice for holdovers and holdoffs. Cashiers check, personal check and wait to clear...

Lets see the groups.

It goes in spurts or seasons. So nice living in the west with plenty of areas to shoot. A friend came to visit so I brought my 6.5 Saum out since he hadn't shot it yet, dialed 6.8 mils, held off .7 mil for wind, and cold bore'd the 1143Y steel. No way around it, that's just cool! Then dialed...

I guess this is Athlon's try at a basic inexpensive big game hunting scope. It's lighter weight than the Talos 4-16 and has a wider FOV at 4.5x than the Talos does at 4x. Likely also a wider FOV on 14x than the Talos does at 14x. Might also have superior lens coatings and prescription since it's...

Athlon 2-12x42. There is a FFP Helos G2 and a SFP Heras.

This listing has been renewed and price reduced.

Probably have to go 'up' in price to something like the March 4.5-28x52 for a FFP scope as far as lighter weight and focuses at 10Y with better IQ than the G2 Cronus. IMHO, The problem is that the G2 Cronus is the best scope going in this price range as far as street price so its difficult to...

Don't these cock the hammer back with a double action trigger pull?

Another friend has one like it called the USO MST100. It's a copy of the original USMC Unertl though I think doesn't have the quality of the original. It has something wrong with it because the crosshair cannot be fully put in focus and its otherwise blurry. This friend has never sent it back...

Those photos bring back that hilarious memory. IIRC the pranks started a few months before hand at the FT matches. I might have started them, lol. Mike we already miss you greatly and also the previously times when health problems arose making it impossible to attend our shared shooting sports...

I'm not sure but the person I dealt with concerning warranty said it was the parallax mechanism. This was their 6-24x56 FFP. When IOR started to become popular a friend of mine ordered their 9-36 and it broke right away so he sent it in receiving back another one which didn't last much longer...

Athlon Talos 3-12 with mildot and .1mil clicks. One of those sleepers in the scope world.

Got the 17hmr/Nikon 3-9 sighted in at 50Y but it was rough seeing the holes in the old cardboard box at 9x with it not being perfectly in focus. Eh, should I buy another scope, maybe?? This one would be fine for small game hunting but doesn't satisfy what my modern experiences with current...

16 years ago I bought a used USO 3.2-17 FFP. After I received it and I looked through it the IQ was unacceptably bad so I sent it in for repair. It was returned back to me within a couple weeks very much the same. Nothing about this $1700 scope was exceptional in any way and I haven't bought a...
