Athlon Midas TAC gen 2 - Wow!

How would you compare Athlon Midas line to the Vortex Vemon. I've seen then on sale for $420 out the door and super nice.
The 1st Gen MT's were already superior to equivalent line'd Vortex.

In fact I have a very disappointing Vortex Razor LHT 4.5-22x50 that I would put behind a MT in most ways "especially turret wise". Though IQ is about the same.

Gen 2 MT = and it's game over..............
 
Just got the newly released Athlon Midas TAC gen2 5-30x56 FFP scope. Everything the gen 1 is known for plus better glass and higher mag. Only focus down to 20 yards at full mag, but that wasn’t a concern for me.

I think this scope is every bit as good as the Ares ETR 4.5-30x or Cronus 4.5-29x (I have both) for significantly less $$$. Turrets function perfectly with good clicks and lots of elevation adjustment (30 Mil).

I will be using it on the new .30 Daystate Black Wolf Chassis with Tube and 23 inch pellet barrel that I am getting next week. Looking forward to a great EFT GP combo!
Have you ever owned a Arken SH4J Gen II? I have found it to be extremley clear but would like to know if you have owned one and could tell a difference? This thing is a lot heavier than the Athlon.

No, but I bought an Arken EP4 in 2020 when they first came out and it is very good. I still have it. I’d say though that the optics on the Midas TAC gen2 are better. Turrets are equivalent.
