Ive ended up with two lower end Athlons (not sure at the moment which ones- I'm at work). One is on a springer air rifle, and the other is on a CZ527 in 7.62x39. I'm very happy with the durability and clarity of mine. I have come to find that I'm not nearly as happy with the ffp thing as I thought I'd be. I guess I'm just too accustomed to sfp scopes to get over that reticle changing sizes on me. On a side-by-side test, I would place it over a Redfield 3-9 I bought when they first came out, and also over the Mueller 4-14 tactical scope. The Athlon is springer airgun rated, so I guess that means it's guts are fairly durable.
