Very nice! We don’t see many Vulcan 177’s on the forums.
Thanks bud. I honestly don’t know what to do with it, so I just practiced for the 20y. Strange how most of the shots landed on the edge of the bullseye but I was aiming for the center, wonder what I’m doing wrong.it that normally a target that gets pushed out further as you shoot it, moving to the bigger bulls farther out? Or am I all wrong
Nice shooting, also to see new posts from new members too.
You arent kidding. Im done with HP printers. The chip in the ink cartridges and subscriptions is a rip off. Lock your printer up if you cancel and cant use thier cartridges? Done. If I ever need to buy one again, its gonna be epson with refil your own.Sadly I fall apart in them high pressure situations. Then I no longer buy or print targets . ( New HP printer thinks ink is free . Uses wayyyy more then my ilded lighting struck one . Like silly gulps it per page .. lol). A new "xl" cartage of ink I printed tomasas ( at agn) target. Did 19 and got a low ink warning .. HP= hardly productive..

Tomas got nice targets to print he made up ..
How do you like the Athelon glass quality? I looked at a couple at a gun show. Looks pretty good, but to compared to Vortex/Leupold, is it worth the same $$ ?
I gave up printing targets as it got too expensive. Now i buy a $2 sharpie and trace a washer of what ever size i want and the sharpie lasts a long time!
I like athlon a lot i think the glass is as good as many higher priced scopes!

I like my atholns only bad thing is there heavy. Can make tall ring mounting or a light gun feel top heavy .. but when built like a tank you not looking at light weight anyway ..
Which one do you have? The Talos looks pretty decent for power and price.

Not cutting in but I got the Talos 3x12 mildot's. Maybe I'd go the 4x one ( 4x16??) but I'm good with them. . they hold up under my springer use and one I bought used and sent in to athlon an the warranty and quick turnaround time was nice .. time shipping to them - 3 days with them and time back to me and seems good to go ..
I have an ares 4-30x56 a helos 6-24x56 gen 2, 2 4-20x50 helos, and 4 6-24x50 argos gen2
Midway has the 6-24 for 230 on sale. Not that I need that much power, but its nice to have.
Most decent scope manufacturers do lifetime warranty as well. But I dont have any expereince with Athelon, but I am hearing good things so far. I would consider them to try out and if it didnt work out on it, I would put it on my 338 instead. Currently have a old springield optic that is just meh.....I should probably just trade/sell that one.
Just look at all of athlons reticles if you buy as they have quite a few. My old eyes like the little + in the middle instead of the dot as i see it better at lower power
Wow. your all in on Athelon.
Has the POI been consistant? Any issues with turret locking/paralax/focus adjustments? Any fogging issues ?
I may look at them for a decent spotter as well.
