What can you tell me about the Athlon Midas BTR 2.5-15x50 —— good or bad?
(1)
Is this scope suitable for frequently clicking (dialing the turrets)?
(2)
Is it springer-rated or even magnum-rated?
(Or did you use it for a springer for at least 2000 shots – without breaking it?)
I've seen it for $250, seems to be a really good price(?).
Thanks for your input.

I've had a Midas BTR 15x for a nearly a year on a HW77. I haven't given the turrets a reliability test or anything, but they do everything I've expected of them.
Very pleased with the scope. No regrets, and as you mentioned they can be had for ~$250 these days.

Thanks, Mike.
I found a thread that speaks about the scope's toughness:

Still hoping that someone reports on turrets' tracking and repeatability....

I've done the basic tracking test and it worked just fine. the calibration of the turrets is off a bit, but for comparison, they are off quite a bit less than my vortex viper pst (first gen). I'm pretty disappointed with the PST overall.
