The Athlon Ares ETR and the new Sightron 34mm models are on my short list.

Has anyone had a chance to compare side by side?

Thanks.

I cant praise my sightron s3 10x50x60 enough it was at that moment a nice price for what i wanted . the glass is good enough , at least till i got my delta which is nicer in every way except 500 more . the sightron was 1k + delivery . Not sure I would have paid 2k+ for the s5 just for better knobs . Still want to look through a athalon they sound great , but no one i know uses them  they are all brand stuck on nf .funny enough the glass all comes from the same place for all these scopes so .

Just an FYI that doesn't mean they are all comparable glass wise.
