Bump

Still up and looking for a new home!

Thanks for the input! I have quite a few vortex up and down their product lines, I think they’re a great value which is why I have so many. I hadn’t tried the strike eagle line yet which is why I was thinking of going that route, but with all the discount shops out there the $700-$1200 range is packed with great options right now. Logically the new Leupold MK4 HD is the route I should go because I can get a great deal on one and they are perfect for what I need on this. I’ve just been shocked with the overwhelming support for Athlon Ares which is throwing a wrench in my planning process. P.S. Nightforce are absolute tanks so I totally agree with them being them being the standard after 1200m, I just can’t justify throwing one on this project

Good looking rifle, doesn’t get much newer than this!

Haha I appreciate the offer anyway! Do you have any complaints with the Mark 4, or any comparisons that you’d say it’s better/worse than?

Thanks for the input! The decision has been narrowed to the Athlon Ares 4.5-30x56 and the Leupold Mk 4HD 4.5-18X52. I have a discount for each which brings them into my price range. The Leupold is still around $200 more, but wondering if it’s worth it… decisions decisions

Thanks for the input! That buyer’s remorse is exactly what I am trying to avoid. I really expected to see more posts going for the Vortex, this is putting a lot of confidence behind the Ares.

Thank you for your input! Maybe I should’ve said mid price range… but it certainly seems like $1000 doesn’t go as far as it used to in the glass department! It seems a lot of people are happy with the Ares and Athlon in general which is what put it on my radar. If it’s standing up to your Lapua then it’ll definitely hold up for me. What distances have you stretched it to, and is there anything you don’t like about it?

***Sold *** Remington 700 ADL Varmint chambered in 22-250. It’s got a 26in varmint contour barrel and a low round count (less than a box). I keep telling myself I’ll do something with this, but I never do so here we are. Would prefer cash, but if you have a trade send it my way I’m always looking to pick things up.

Hey All, Just throwing some feelers out to get a little real world feedback. I’m in the market for a scope and I don’t really want to pony-up for another Nightforce or anything of that caliber (pun intended) at the moment. I’ll be target shooting and occasionally using it for deer hunting cut cornfields, so weight isn’t an issue. Looking to stay around $1k or less if possible, shooting midrange between 400-800yrds, clarity, tracking, and eye relief are my primary concerns. Any advice or comments would be great! I was thinking maybe Athlon Ares, Vortex Strike Eagle or something similar I just don’t have much experience behind either. Thanks members!

Woof… only having a 5min drive to pick this up is really forcing me think about this one.

If you were closer I’d be all over this, unfortunately I don’t get up to your way very often. Someone has to need this!

I need this like I need a hole in the head. With that said, PM sent.

A friendly bump for the preservation of my wallet… Someone really needs to take this before I’m in Nashville this weekend.

Hey all! Up for sale is a Aimpoint 3x magnifier with an Aimpoint twist mount. It’s used and has a some marks on it but overall it’s in pretty good shape. Asking $275 cash.

Bump and price drop

Pm sent with a hopefully tempting offer

Do you still have the factory box for the RMR as well?

Seems like all the good stuff is always on the wrong side of the state!
