Message: <blockquote data-quote="Wojownik" data-source="post: 4390374" data-attributes="member: 57601">I recently purchased an Athlon scope for a new rifle.  It wasn’t terribly expensive at all and it had a ton a good reviews.  I was looking at getting a Nightforce, then I stumbled across a YouTube video where a guy compared the Nightforce with the Athlon.  I’m not normally one for listening too much to what people say in their videos since they’re getting paid to say things, but you can usually tell between who is getting paid and who isn’t.  There were a lot of other sites referencing a certain individual who takes the time to compare all kinds of different brands, giving pros and cons of each, so that’s how I ended up watching this particular video.  No, I didn’t necessarily want to spend Nightforce money, but I wanted one to try out.  After watching the comparison video, it changed my mind and I went with the cheaper option, the Athlon.  I also read a lot of other reviews to compare the two as well.  You can generally tell an honest review from the nonsense reviews.  Most expensive scopes I have are ACOG’s with RMR’s attached.  As others have stated, I have too many rifles and don’t want to spend a ton on all of them.</blockquote>
