    I have 4 of them and they have preformed well so far. I shoot out to 900 yards with the 6x24, clicks are repeatable, glass is clear, 1st focal plane, Christmas tree reticle, lifetime warranty, but I have't had to test that yet. My opinion.

    The folks who will benefit fro. a FFP optic are typically precision shooters who require true BDC at any magnification. Pretty much everyone else can get by with SFP

    The first focal plane is primarily used for rangeing.
    Only the 6.5Creedmoor,1300m shooters, need apply.
    But basically . . . John is right. Just not as right as me,of course. --- SAWMAN

    I have 2 Athlon's that I purchased via the internet and have no complaints about either one. They have sharp clear glass and their elevation and windage adjustments are precise.
