Scope

[jkingrph]

I have a TX200 III coming and will be needing a scope.  In my looking I am considering a Hawke Sidewinder 6-24x56 and an Athalon Helos 4-20x50, FFP
for about the same money.   Any suggestions?

What are going to use the gun for?
Guys at the range like their Athalon scopes.  I like MTC/Optisan.  Hawkes are over-rated in MHO.  Sidewider is top of the heap however.

I did some more research and decided I did not want that huge 56mm objective so backed down and orderd a Hawke Sidewinder 6.5-25x44.  I dont care for the looks of guns with those huge objectives and the way I shoot do not need the extra light gathering ability.
