Let us know sir what you think!! Many guys on this forum praise them, I dragged my feet on a 16X version for my S510 to replace the 3x9 Hawke on it and man now it's outta stock!! (Scopes don't ship from the States to Canada) Everything I have read, and watched said they are better than their cost. Shhhh. I'm keeping the S510 light as possible so I'll keep waiting for it to be back in stock.

Thanks for the feedback, Tony. If the MIDAS TAC works out, I will be getting a second one to replace the Arken EP-4 on the Gunnar as well. Not a fan of the reticle on the EP-4.

For HFT we went with the MOA reticle.....more vertical lines for ranging. All my other scopes are MIL.....The one downfall with the Midas Tac it doesn't have a illuminated reticle.

At the Cajuns shooting under the trees and shadows I lost the reticle numerous times. I had to pull the reticle off the dark target, realign the holdover and move the scope back onto the target.

The Heras series has an illuminated reticle and it might be a better choice if it for HFT.....

I use a lesser talos 4-12 . It's held up under my harsher jackhammer springers with boocoos of shots and still solid. . Can't complain and got my money's worth easy from it .

Scope just arrived. Initial impression is very good. Glass is brighter and clearer than the Vortex PST. Pleasantly surprise that the sunshade, lens caps, and power ring are all included in the package .

I have mostly Hawke Airmax scopes and they are, for the most part, great. I then started playing around with Vector Veyron (not bad, but the jury is still out), Optisan, very good, and finally an Athlon Midas Tac.
Here's a quick rundown for me.
Very, VERY clear scope, great fine reticle, tracking and controls are great. Beats Hawke in most all respects. The reticle is not lighted, which I would like to see, but I'm happy with them using the money on quality glass and build. Eye relief is slightly finicky, not bad, and Hawke Sidewinder is much, much worse, so I'm happy here too. This is probably the best scope for the money I've used ever. If you need a lighted reticle, then this scope will drive you crazy, because the reticle is easy to lose in shadows, but for target shooting it's a dream come true.

Agree! It is a great scope and for my use on the Red Wolf, I don't really need lighted reticle.

I waffled between a Heras and the Midas Tac because of the illuminated reticle but chose Midas Tac because of better glass. Now just waiting for it to arrive…

I've seen a lot of scopes with illuminated reticles and found them essentially useless unless it's pitch black outside.

Interesting, for me in a dark lane, dark colored KZ I can loose the reticle on the target pretty easy…Having a lite reticle like my Cronus would help…Now if the Cronus would just range Dow to 10 yards.

I chose the Midas Tac over the Ares with illuminated reticle because I wanted Parallax down to 10 yards and illuminated reticle is not critical for my usage.
