What scopes are you using now?
I'm in the market for my first longish range, higher magnification scope that won't break the bank.
Thanks

Athlon Argos BTR 6-24X50...I almost never use it higher than 16 power...
I had the Vortex Venom on it for awhile but it was very heavy...
My friend has the Arken 4-16X50 on her 224 Valkyrie and
she loves it...

Thank you.
Do you have optical issues with the Argos at higher magnification ?
Is that why you run it lower power ?

This is one that's on my narrowed-down list of possibilities.

The only thing I didn't care for with the scope
is the eye box is very tight on 24 power other than that
the glass is very clear for a under $500 scope...

@DIANEB

Sorry to bother you again.
What mounts do you use for your AR scopes ?
I'm looking for a good 34mm 20moa mount under $150.
Maybe I should start my own thread in the Optics forum

I have a few Warne single piece 20 MOA mounts in 30 mm but Warne also makes a 20 MOA 34 mm mount. Midway has this scope on sale for $160 this week and Gunmagwarehouse has the same scope mount for $150 with an additional 10% off with coupon code. I’m sure there are better mounts but I like these and they have a decent price.
