Exactly and we've had to change this video several times and had to different camera man and camera but we got taken off because copy rights. So all of our good ones were taken down.

Can you tell me how to buy the athlon ares etr 4.5 -30 x56 scope for 625$?..thank you

@@quyenbao3880 The sale price went up and now $745. Go to "Expert Voice" and see if you qualify based on your occupation or maybe your household member might qualify.

The Ruger American is a 22" barrel version and its 490 new. Not sure about the predator but it'll be around that I guess.

It's currently 1,240$

@@senditffh7919 Wait until they go on sale Black Friday deals for under $900 or have a friend or relative in law enforcement or military or first responders buy it for you through (Expert Voice) anytime for around $625. Law enforcement Military discounts are at least 40% cheaper.

Certain dealers can and do offer Athlon and other brands a lot cheaper than most places just have to know who to call for a better price quote over the phone. Sometimes you see scopes selling for a lot cheaper through Walmart online and Amazon too sometimes but Expert Voice is the cheapest at least 40% off. Sometimes DVOR has really good 40%-60% off sales too. It's totally insane to pay typical selling prices for Chinese made scopes. They're manufactured for literally pennies on the dollar using the cheapest quality Chinese materials and slave labor. But everyone already knows this.

NightForce is probably the top tier optic but you definitely pay for it. I've got one and the Athlon Ares ETR comes with all the bell and whistles and is half the price. I've taken the NightForce out to 1,000 yards but the only reason I haven't taken the Athlon Ares because I've not been back to the long range that I can shoot the Athlon but plan on it. I've seen other videos of people using the Athlon Ares over a 1,000 yards with no complaints. I'll post it when I get back to the sawmill

I have the Nightforce SHV 5-20x56 illuminated SFP MOAR and image quality is noticeably clearer than on the Ares ETR and made in Japan while the Athlon Ares ETR is made in China. Their typical selling prices are similar. The Nightforce is better quality. If you want something better, buy the new Japan made Tract Toric 4-25x56 next time they go on sale (usually twice a year summertime and in December either 10% discount or $100 off sales) or have a friend or relative in law enforcement or military buy it for you anytime for 15% off ($1250 or so give or take instead of $1500 regular price). It's better than the $2000 Zeiss LRP S3 version also made in Japan. It's going to be a scope you'll probably never need to upgrade ever. In fact I'm probably going to upgrade my Nightforce SHV for the Tract Toric 4-25x56 that has an insanely huge total elevation of 41 MILs and uses German Schott glass. I have the 4.5-30x56 Tract Toric and it's better than my similarly priced top of the line Japan made Athlon Cronus 4.5-29x56.

The glass is one of the best that I've looked through. Again I've been using the illuminated reticle for both when the sun glare was a problem to see the target and in the evening this optic really does it all for half the price of the higher end scopes.

Meopta Optika 6 5-30x56 is hands down superior in low light conditions. $799 demo at Scopelist and EuroOptic or often on sale for $850 brand new at Sportsman's. Made on Europe Czech republic not China like the Athlon Ares ETR. The optional sunshade is a must there's too much light going into the scope during bright daylight hours. Sucks in way too much light making it a fantastic night time scope.

To be honest I haven't had it in those conditions but have dropped it on cement from about 4ft and still holds zero. With some of the other scopes I've put them in water, freezer and I would say that half did what they claimed. I'll do a test on water resistance and freezing. I'll either make a video of it or I'll post about the results on here.

I think it's in the top 3 optics I've used all around. Especially in low light conditions in the morning or evening with the illuminated reticle. It's right up there beside the NightForce and that's an extra 1,000$ for the same ability as the Athlon Ares ETR. If you know anyone who has one or the ability to look through one you'll be able to see for yourself. Thanks

The Meopta Optika 6 5-30x56 is noticeably better in low light and it's made in Europe Czech republic not China. They go on sale for $850 new or $799 demo plus $50 for the sunshade which is a necessity.

We've shot it on several different guns from 308, 30-06, 300 win mag, 7mm, 338 Lapua and didn't have any problems with it and held zero. Great Glass. This optic is really in the top 3 optics I've tested for half the money for the higher end scopes and performs just as well. Thanks

This scope has been used on several different calibers from 308, 30-06, 300 win mag, 7mm, 338 and never had a problem with recoil and I've taken it out to 500 yards and the glass is super clear and I could see the 3 inch bullseye with no problem. I've not been able to go to a place with a longer range but have seen other videos of people shooting a 1000 yards and they were happy with this optic.

If you're looking for a dusk and dawn type of scope it's hard to beat the Meopta Optika 6 5-30x56 made in Europe Czech republic with Schott glass. $799 for demo models (sometimes they even send you brand new ones at this price) at EuroOptic and Scopelist or often on sale for $850 brand new at Sportsman's. Nothing coming out of China can beat it in regards to low light shooting capabilities.

We've shot the Athlon Ares ETR on a 338 Lapua and didn't have any issues with it. I can't say the same thing for some of the other optics we used and actually one very well known higher end optic couldn't hold zero on the 338 Lapua.

Great for low light conditions and has an illuminated reticle. I actually used the reticle in daylight hours because of how the sun was shining that I had a hard time seeing my target. After I turned it on I was on every shot.

Leupold is a great scope that's been around for a long time but the Athlon Ares simply did better all around.

It is a first focal and 34mm

If I get a one I definitely will. I've got a NightForce that I'm doing next just waiting for my camera man to get back. Stay tuned and I'll see if I can get one and review it. If you get a chance to try the Athlon Ares ETR you might not need anything else.

Athlon has a iffy record regarding the illuminated reticle fogginess backlash including their expensive top of the line models. I'd recommend the Primary Arms GLx or even their new economy SLx with fire wire illuminated reticle hands down best in the business.

Please review the Sightmark Presidio 5-30x56 and 3-18x50. Buy them from places that have no questions asked free returns policies such as Midway USA (Probably THE BEST returns policy in the business) they even send you a free returns label. The Sightmark Presidio seems to offer enormous bang for the buck with new improved upgraded turrets and zero stop. I'd like to know how clear they both are at their maximum magnification and ease of seeing the reticles at their minimum magnification and how well they track THANKS.

Where have you found that deal I literally just spoke with one of the sales department and they told me 1,200$

@@senditffh7919 The see was for the entire month of August till beginning September 2023 and there was a 25% discount code on Arken USA's website and also on Amazon and there still may be a seller there still selling the EP5 for $397.
