G,day fellow shooters
I have a nice accurate Anschutz. 22lr which I use for pest control and varminting at extended ranges. I have reached the limit of 2-7 plex leupold and with small targets such as miners and bunnies beyond 100 often early am and late PM low light I am looking at the following to upgrade. Vortex strike eagle 5-25x56 Athlon Ares BTR 4.5-27x50 Riton Optics x5 Conquer 5-25x50 My question is to those with preferably first hand and side by side comparison experience, I'm after the best glass out of the three. Given that the Riton is Japan glass and the other two Chinese. They are similarly priced Cheers

I have not tried the Riton, but I have the Strike Eagle and like it quite a bit. It sits on my Tikka T1x and seems to be very much at home on an accurate rimfire.
Ares BTR is a good scope, but on high mag the new Strike Eagle is a bit better and has notably wider FOV across the board. ILya
