You’re missing out on the world :biggrinn:
Pleas explain. I also only used sidewinder. This it’s mainly because of Ted, so I’m sure there’s bias and a kick back there. I’d life to look at better options

I just bought a Athlon Optics Argos 6-24×50 Side Focus Riflescope,30mm,Black,FFP,APMR IR-MIL Reticle 214061
with all the hype about the scope, I am a big Viper fan having two 6×24-56 I like big time also a sidewinder 4×16-50
The new scope will mount the Mutant Veteran 25 soon.
Just hope you guys didn’t lie to me, :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I have to update my scope use a bit:
A few months back, I put an ATN X-Sight II night vision scope on my .25 cricket, and man that thing is a coon killin’ son-of-a-gun! It’s fun to sit in my blind while hog/deer hunting. I sit in my blind until dark… coons come in to the corn and I can get several before they can figure out what’s goin’ on! That X-Sight II is very clear out beyond 300-400 yards with a good IR illuminator. I have a feeder behind my house that is right at 325 yards and I can see it and anything under it clearly from my back door… PLUS the scope actually can video the shots and save it to a micro-SD card… AND it can also be use in the daytime… Has a 1-shot zero feature that is pretty cool too. I bought it for a 6.8 SPCII AR, but havin’ too much fun with it on the cricket .25 right now. :8: :8:
Glad you like the X-Sight i’ve been looking at it for some time now, thinking about getting one in the next month or so. Was hoping they would come out with an X-Sight III, since the time between the 1 and the 2 was about a year. But i guess if you keep waiting for the next best thing you will always be waiting.
I see your still popp’in off at the mouth. So i figured i would chime in again, The original statement was he had been using and filming with the MTC Viper Pro for the last six months (after he won extreme bench with the Hawke) FACT. He states that if things continued that it MAY BECOME his goto scope FACT. In previous videos he stated that the Hawke just worked better for filming FACT. He won extreme bench rest using the Hawke, one reason he used it was because of the zoom level FACT. Hawke has great glass, but so does a lot of scopes out there for a lower price point. Lastly I never said that Ted only use any one scope or didn’t like or preferred anything, “dick” I only said he had been using the MTC Viper Pro lately. So if Ted has any issues with what i said he knows how to get ahold of me.
I agree i too grow tired of all the fake news out there, but i understand people make mistake or don’t see thing the same way or have there own opinions to share, that is the reason for forums. This is a scope Poll you wanna speak for you fine, but sharing opinions for other people by your interpretation of there video is presummutous. Ted may have been paid all this time to use or speak up sidewinder scopes who knows. Right now my vote is SWFA scopes for the glass and the price. And i still think your a dick and you come off as a bully.
:13:
Sorry guys. I have just grown weary of the fake and just plain incorrect news on 24×7. When someone tries to incorrectly correct me I feel the need to blast them so they don’t keep repeating the bad behavior with others. Posting on partial information is mainly laziness. π
Now you 2 play nice! π

I think that was a self correction on your part. Yes you were wrong. Don’t correct someone without a clearer understanding of the facts. Not defensive – just correcting erroneous information. Ted has been using a combination of scopes for sometime and STILL IS. He did not give up the Sidewinders. Just telling it how it is. Again – if you attempt to correct me again – be very sure of your facts in the future.
You were the dick head first and now again. Stop while you are ahead.

Don’t be a dick. https://youtu.be/EUZENl-kwKs He said he only uses the sidewinder to punch paper, and he will continue to use it for that purpose, but for daily shooting / pesting he has been using the MTC. Try not to get so defensive, it’s not that serious.
Just saying. He still is an avid Sidewinder fan. Don’t you feel like a fool now? Be double sure before you correct someone else.

I am just really getting around testing the FFP Athlon 6×24-50 scope on my Veteran 25 shorty…
I know this is a scope poll, and the Athlon is a dam good scope, Its not a big adjustment on the FFP.
BUT the 25 shorty is a amazing gun,
Is it the scope or the gun making me the super sniper of the grackles, I got to say its the gun, the scope is just the icing on the cake.
It sucks not having a focal ring and a sun shade, But I will find something that works.
