    Got my hands on a Helos 8-34 X 56 last week. Optics are very comparable to my Vortex HS 6-24X50. Have not had a chance to measure tracking but it's on my list of to do's. It's an FFP
    Tomorrow I'll look at some targets at 300 yds with it and see how if it can resolve clear enough to spot bullet holes.

    Incidentally, both Walmart and Optics Planet were advertising this scope for $389 a couple of days ago https://www.walmart.com/ip/Athlon-Op...L-Ret/50030562

    I believe this might be a mistake, so act fast if you want one.


    Edit with update: I went ahead and ordered one from Walmart. The ad copy says Helos, however the part number (referenced 214066) is indeed for the Argos and Mil reticle. Confusing ad for sure, and will be cancelling the order.

    Optics planet has updated its ad and no longer advertises it for 389.00

    Banning a gun will not solve what is a mental health crisis inflamed by incendiary rhetoric on social and television media. The first amendment in this case is less precious and more likely the causal factor than the second amendment.
