You could choose to see it as a lower cost alternative to the ARES ETR 4.5-30×56, which it is similar in size to or as a larger alternative to the Midas TAC 6-24x that it shares relative glass quality with. It is of similar glass quality and magnification to the existing Midas TAC 6-24×50, but has a larger 56mm form factor more in line with the higher end ARES ETR 4.5-30×56. Today’s scope, the Midas Tac 5-25×56, is a new scope being added to their existing Midas TAC line. The predictability of their function is starting to make them rather dull to test. Furthermore, Athlon appears to have a very rigorous quality control apparatus in place, as the scopes I have seen have much lower than average deviation from specifications when it comes to adjustment magnitude, reticle size, and reticle alignment. Certainly the scopes I have seen from them have proven predictably reliable and with features that I judge to be well chosen for the marketplace. Based on the company’s growth rate and customer satisfaction, the Athlon guys appear to be quite good at this. Started and run by a couple of optical industry alums, Athlon sources optics from a number of different overseas OEM’s which are made to the companies’ specifications. This Midas Tac 5-25×56 is the third scope I have reviewed from the relatively new Athlon optics company. – Mechanical Testing and Turret Discussion: Les (Jim) Fischer BigJimFish Jan 14, 2020
