This is what I wanted in a scope

Would you explain? Do you have a link to that? The Helos 2-12x would be my preferred ratting scope — so that would be a shame if NV would not work on it....

Thanks.

Scopes: your thoughts on Element vs Athlon

Element Optics or Athlon for long distance bench?

Thanks, I appreciate it.
I need to write this down somewhere, this is important.

@JungleShooter You commented in one of those threads, but perhaps you unfollowed the thread after a certain point. Maybe bookmark the important stuff so it’s easier to reference when you work on adding info to your charts or start a new chart.

I still haven’t determined what the real issue is with the lens coatings coupled with the clip-on Pards. I’ve read posts about experiences saying that there are no issues and that there are. Maybe when a deep discount sale arrives I’ll grab one or two of those Helos scopes. I like the circle in the center of the 2-12x. Too bad there’s isn’t a 2.5-15x, 3-15x, 4-16x, or 4-20x option with that reticle in the Helos.

Yeah, I had a whole slew of links and copied posts on my cellphone — but I threw it down a hundred foot deep mountain shaft somewhere in the Peruvian Andes....
• I try not to make a habit of it.
• And try to make a habit of backing up the information I collect on my cellphone....!


Yes, I'm working on a new chart....! Just researched red dots that have exposed elevation turrets — a niche product.
Rear clip-on nightvision might come next.....

Yupp, too bad. That circle of death is deadly nice.

I also would like to see a Helos with both a wide FoV (25-28ft) and a high top end magnification (24x or 30x) — that has 10y parallax!

I have an Athlon Helos BTR Gen2 2-12x42 and the Pard NV007 on my ratting gun. It works fine enough. You just have to balance out the diopter on the scope and other settings on the Pard.

Meopta Optika5 4-20 x 50 RD enough said, for me anyways!

Light weight , Fast sighting, Wanted more power but 12 is doing OK, FFP I really like the FFP scopes .
So I got a Athlon Helos Gen 2 BTR 2x12-42 FFP scope, I got it mounted on my Huben 22 and I have made some pretty fast shots with it my longest was at 60 yards on a sparrow sitting on a power line , I really like the reticle its bad ass in my book, Its like a T and a circle with a dot in it, The dot lines up fast and just pull the trigger,
I wished it was a 2x16 , I am looking to place the same or another scope on my Prophet PP 2 I like it that much. The glass is super nice but the reticle steel's the show,
Mike

Which do you have?
The MOA or the MILRad?
Are the reticles similar on each?

Thanks

My PARD007s works fine with my Helos. Looks the same as my Argos.
