The Athlons are very good from everything I have seen and heard but I haven’t had one myself. The fixed SWFA scopes, probably a 16x, are another good value alternative. Not sure whether they go down to 25 yards though.
I agree completely !!!!Easy to create a challenge for yourself. I don't have 1k yds to stretch out to and 500 is easy with my 223 and 6.5. Popping clays at 200 yds and shooting golf tees at 100 yds with a 22 keeps me entertained
I got a CZ 455 Tacticool earlier this year and I love it. I put an Athlon Helos BTR 6-24×50 mil/mil scope and 25 moa Dip rail on it. Shoots great with Norma match and Geco.Think I'm about set on the CZ 455 Tacticool. DE Guns has a sale on them right now with shipping and FFL still $50 better than I can find anywhere local.
