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.
Sig Sauer TANGO6T
For those looking to upgrade to a first focal plane Low-Power Variable Optic (LPVO), the SIG SAUER TANGO6T FFP is a scope that delivers in both clarity and ruggedness. Originally developed with tactical engagements in mind, this scope has proven its versatility across a range of platforms, from ARs to bolt actions. I’ve had the chance to experience its 6x Super-Zoom Advanced Optical System and appreciate the glass-etched illuminated reticle, which adapts beautifully to any light, day or night. The TANGO6T’s construction combines durability with clarity, featuring HDX optics and SpectraCoat for impressive low-light performance. With its extreme waterproofing and abrasion-resistant lenses, it’s built to excel in the field.
