I haven't ever wanted to plunk down the bucks for one, and am not doing the kind of shooting that would really benefit from one, but if the prices keep dropping I might try one some day.

Re: First Focal Plane Scopes....
We sell Athlon at the shop . To be honest I don’t like their profile I prefer the looks of the older Leupold . However I have three of the Athlons and two more on order . All of mine or the two cheaper grades . I have a Neos 4-12 on my Ruger #1H 416 REM Mag . I was sure that Ruger would trash that scope but it didn’t and I’ve shot some very good groups with the 416 using that inexpensive Athlon scope .rbertalotto wrote: ↑Mon Apr 29, 2019 6:54 pm Check out Athlon..I picked up a wonderful FFP 6-24/50 for under $400

It is a decent image at 1.5X -- and gets downright HUGE at 6X!
But it matches the style (though not the vintage) of the pre-war arm, and I can see how it would be helpful at dusk or dawn.
If I get the old girl shooting well, maybe I'll find out next fall.
