Anyone had issues with these holding zero? I have 2 one on first gen Taipan vet and one I just put on new Taipan vet 2 tactical. The tactical seems to change zero from day to day and even during shooting.
Athlon Helos BTR gen 2 zero

Did you check the scope mounts? Sometimes the screws are loose or not tide enough to the proper specks
Or you have a bad scope, I think your scope has lifetime warranty, I’ll double check everything before I sent it back.

That was my thoughts. I snugged everything down so if it loses zero again that's what I will do.

They do have issues holding zero from time to time and Athlon will warranty it. It is a known problem but not all have the issues. I returned a Helos that the internal's would stick and then move with a noticable thud. The new scope works great.

I got 2 of exact same scopes they are rock solid as far as holding zero and I have nothing but good to say aboth athlon even though I was a vortex fan

Which Helos? I have a 2-12 on my Taipan, which I had on my Evol Mini for a year and no problems. Have had a 4-20 for a couple years on a couple different guns and never a problem either. Bummer that yours won't hold zero. Athlon will definitely take care of it though.

I bought 2 of these when they were first offered. I put one on my first gen vet and it has been perfect with no problems. I bought a Vet 2 tactical few weeks ago and put the other one that's been sitting in the box new and lasted about a week or so before the problem showed up.
