Athlon has some nice glass and the price is good too. The magnification options are good too, give them a look.

"Budget friendly" "High end optics"
- Thread starter _CTAIRGUNNER_
- Start date
In addition Monstrum G3, Primary Arms SLx & Blackhound Genesis are worth a look. All getting excellent reviews from what I've seen, all have lifetime warranty as well.

Best value for the money...in my experience thus far...Meopta Optika5 or 6, Athlon Midas or Helos, Arken....

I bought an Arken ep 5, I was skeptical at first and scared thinking what have I done? Turns out the 25 yard minimum parallax doesn't mean didly squat to me. I can reference a target 20' well maybe 30' away the size of a mouse just fine you just can't use the higher mag with these closer targets. Definitely not a high end scope but is budget friendly.
I'm splitting small limbs and branches at these distances. Holds zero. Give it a shot?

I was looking at these scopes too for hunting/pesting. Are there any difference besides magnification? Would you recommend the 3-12 vs 4-16? What I am concern about is not being able to see the thin reticle on min magnification.

The reticle on the Veyron is extremely thin at lower magnifications. I don't have glasses/contacts and I have young 27 year old eyes, but it was unusable at lower magnifications in anything other than a clean target style background.

Thanks UCChris. My other thought was try the Veyron SFP and use turret dial for distance. Maybe that would be better option then ffp?

I agree with what UCChris says. Both Vectors on lowest power against a dark background make the reticle tough to see.

I'm late to the scope party....
More work than the day has hours....
To give you a better overview of scopes in the
▪ 6-24x | 5-30x | 4-20x magnification
with
▪ 10 yard parallax (some 15y)
and
▪ exposed turrets
and
▪ holdoff reticle —
here is a Scope Specs Table:
Almost 100 scopes, most of them
▪︎ $200—$500,
▪︎ divided in SFP and FFP.
With
▪︎ warranty info,
▪︎ reticle info,
▪︎ IR or not,
▪︎ weight,
▪︎ length,
▪︎ field of view.
Cheers
