Athlon Helos BTR

The Athlon AHMR2 IR MIL scope has garnered attention for its exceptional value and performance in the competitive optics market. With a versatile 2-12x magnification range, it caters to various shooting styles, making it suitable for everything from close-range target practice to longer-distance engagements. Users consistently highlight the clarity of the glass, which rivals higher-priced alternatives, ensuring a bright and detailed sight picture. The illuminated reticle enhances visibility in challenging light conditions, allowing shooters to maintain accuracy during dusk or dawn. Its fully multi-coated optics significantly reduce glare and improve light transmission, resulting in a brighter image.

Burris Droptine

When I decided to take on a weekend hunt in the rugged terrain, I knew I needed a riflescope that could handle both close-range and longer shots without adding unnecessary bulk. Enter the Burris Droptine 3-9x40mm. This scope strikes the perfect balance between magnification and lightweight design. It offers a solid 3-9x zoom range that’s versatile enough for anything from brush shots to reaching out at 300 yards. The Ballistic Plex reticle adds precision for those longer shots, and the optics deliver clear, bright images no matter the lighting. After putting the Droptine through a series of tests, it’s clear this scope is built for performance in the field.
