Athlon Optics Midas TAC

The first focal plane reticle scales with your magnification, meaning your holdover points remain accurate regardless of whether you are zoomed in at 5x or 25x. This is essential for precision shooting where you need to make quick adjustments without doing mental math.

The zero-stop mechanism allows you to set a hard physical stop at your initial zero point. Once you have dialed in your elevation for a long-range shot, you can instantly return to your original zero without having to look at the turret or count clicks.

While the 5-25x magnification range is optimized for long-range precision, the 5x low end provides a decent field of view for mid-range targets. However, if your primary use case is rapid, close-quarters engagement, you might find the minimum magnification a bit high compared to dedicated low-power variable optics.

The Midas TAC features a 34mm main tube diameter, so you will need to purchase 34mm scope rings or a one-piece mount. Ensure you select the correct height based on your rifle's rail and objective lens clearance.

Yes, the parallax adjustment on this scope goes down to 25 yards, making it versatile enough for rimfire or airgun applications where targets are often much closer than they would be for centerfire rifle shooting.

This optic weighs 30 ounces. It is a substantial, robust piece of equipment, so you will definitely notice the added weight on your rifle, which can actually help stabilize the gun for long-range shots but may be noticeable if you are carrying the rifle for long distances.
