Athlon Optics Midas TAC HD 4-16x44 APRS2 FFP MIL Rifle Scope

This scope lives on a .22 that is used for Project Appleseed (25y Army qual.-type shoots), to moderate long range (~200y).

This is a phenomenal solution for this type of rifle: huge parallax adjustment, generous zoom, serviceable but clean reticle, and capped windage. The non-illuminated reticle is a non-issue for target use, clicks are precise, zero-stop is choice, and it tracks very well.

The few negatives are: sunshade is not included, and the reticle is VERY FINE. I spend a lot of time on x4, and it’s a chore to discern where center is. Even on x16, it could be a touch thicker and still be perfectly unobtrusive.

This is the first non-Vortex optic I own, and I’m glad to have it.

Absolutely blown away by the customer service from both Guidefitter and Daniel T. from Athlon customer service. I ordered this optic on Sunday morning and it shipped the same day and showed up Thursday afternoon. I ordered the 4-16x44 in MRAD. Mounted it on a Christensen Arms Ridgeline chambered in 26 Nosler. Zeroed at 100m and shot it out to 1050m and it tracks perfectly. Parallax is a work of art and the glass is VERY crisp. Turret clicks are extremely tactile and zero stop leaves nothing to be desired. Eye relief is great, and eye box is good but not amazing. The eye box and the fact that we’re are no O rings sealing the turrets is the only reason I’m giving this 4/5 stars. I’d put this up against a Vortex Razor Gen 1 5-25x50 or a Leupold VX6-HD FFP any day of the week. Well done Athlon!

The Athlon Midas Tac 4-16x44 is the perfect hunting scope in my opinion. It has Capped Windage, FFP Mil Reticle, Precision Zero Stop, Very Audible and Distinct Elevation Turret Clicks, 30 Mil Elevation Adjustment, 4-16 Magnification, and HD Glass at an affordable price. The capped windage is a must in my option as it is one less thing to worry about because you won't have any accidental windage adjustments when carrying your rifle in the field. Dial in your elevation, do a holdover on windage, if req'd, and squeeze the trigger! Keep in mind, you can always pop the windage cap off and dial in the windage if time permits! 🙂

Very clear glass, impressive quality, feels like a much more expensive scope!
Mounted on a Rem 700 SPS 223 cal 16" barrel... So not necessarily a long range rig but way good for 6-800 yards with 10 mils to work with!
Great clicks, hold zero well... Love it!!

I have the Midas Tac 4-16x44 mountd on a Daystate Red Wolf 22 caliber air rifle. For those who do not know, the Red Wolf is the current 'state of the art' in air rifles, costing roughly $2500, and it really needed a scope to match it's quality.

Parallax adjustment is perfect, does not shift, and is very important for an air rifle. I zeroed the scope at 30 yards, with JSB 18.13 grain pellets, and with the aid of Strelok Pro I am now shooting dead on at 150 yards (yes with an air rifle) by just clicking up. The scope returns to zero every time, with firm audible clicks and has very, very clear glass.

I will purchase another, when my Daystate Pulsar arrives.
