Best advice I can give you is just go to the nearest gun shop that has scopes and get your hands on either the ones you want (if available) or just shop around. I’ve heard good things about Athlon but no personal experience. I will say, however, I am liking my Nikon and the few I have looked through are pretty nice. What’s your budget?

I have looked quite a bit and I have narrowed my choice down to either the Athlon Helos BTR 8-34x56 or the Bushnell Forge 4.5-27x50. I’m leaning towards the bushnell pretty hard. The magnification range I think will better suit me and it comes with the sunshade and flip caps. The Athlon has a few more reviews and as always there are the optic snobs that would rather not eat than shoot a “cheap” scope. I will likely upgrade in the future but need something to work a little while.
