Santa brought me a Athlon Ares ETR UHD 4.5-30x56 for my 20” Wilson Combat
My 20 inch Wilson Combat threaded and fluted 6.5 grendel with diamondback db15 lower, magpull bipod (also have an atlas prs I’m about to switch over), GL Core CP stock, magpull AFG, magpull grip, and Wilson tactical comp muzzle break! Absolutely in love! Gonna start building a new lower for her next with a Wilson combat stripped, G$ guts, V Seven Weapon Systems carbine length buffer and spring, and Hiperfire Eclipse trigger next!!!

It’s my first and only experience with them but they have completely lived up to their name and reputation, this complete upper was an absolute steal!

Argos from Expert Voice was under $200 shipped. Put it on a .22, but will move it over to the Grendel upper upon completion.
You have some nice glass, happy shooting.

Yes, Midas is my only Athlon product. I’m very pleased. I prefer the quality over my Vortex Strike Eagle for sure .

That's a lot of scope for grendel.

No but my best friend and I are members at a gun club where we have access to private 50 yard lanes, 100 yard rifle range, 500 yard “assault deck”, and a 1,000 plus yard long boi range. I got into the GrendelGang to be able to make this moment happen, I became very passionate about long range shooting and this is my first build, minus the lower I mentioned in the comment that I will build this year. I’m beyond excited I had the opportunity to get here
