hump Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 I bought one and find the 8x very useful at 200yds + The glass is clear and the holdover is on point with 55gr ammo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apetrulis01 Posted July 21, 2017 Author Share Posted July 21, 2017 The 1-8 diamond reticle is in there, just type atibal in the search and it is the only in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gahunter12 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I have been using the XP8 for 3 months now. So far I love it! I don't have any complaints at all. I load 55gr foenmy close stuff, and 68gr for longer distance. The BCC's seem to be spot on for hitting 3Gun steel at 200+ yards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JordanGriffith Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 After the stunt they pulled on one of the vortex shooters I can't believe any 3 gunner would buy one from them. I have a brand new one in the box if anyone wants to buy it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JordanGriffith Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Someone asked a vortex shooter what they thought about Atibal in a PM on Facebook and he said he hasn't used or seen one but he'd stay away from any cheap optic. He said you get what you pay for. And I agree. But the the person sent Atibal screen shots and they posted it l. Facebook bashing Vortex and their shooter. And that shooter is a good dude that's very helpful to anyone that asks. So before all this I bought a Strike Eagle and hated it, Atibal had the trade in program so I did it, figured the Strike Eagle was already useless to me and I finally got my hands on a Viper Gen 2. Worst case the scope would go on my backup gun. As as far as the scope goes it's better than the Strike Eagle. If you're ok with their ethics as a company I have one I'll sell you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve RA Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Thanks for the explanation, send me a PM with your price as I'm thinking of trying one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another option might be the Athlon scope with specific 3gun reticle that Billy York designed for them. Similar price point to the Strike Eagle and Atibal tier. Not trying to kill a sale but just pointing it out. http://athlonoptics.com/product‐category/riflescopes/athlon-optics-rifle-scopes-midas-btr/athlon-optics-rifle-scopes-midas-btr-1-6x24-astsr1-moa/rifle-scopes-midas-btr-1-6x24-atsr1-sfp-ir-moa/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Price point is close to Vortex PST Gen 2, and I would expect quality to be comparable to PST, above the Atibal and SE. Not to derail this thread but is the "gap" where a target would be placed at ranges beyond 200 yards detrimental to accuracy? Am very interested in the Athlon with the 3G reticle, just looking for users input. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Yep, my fault, I thought it was cheaper than that. $530 for the Athlon, $340 for the Atibal, $450 for the Strike Eagle 1-8, $330 for the Strike Eagle 1-6. Contact Billy, he's been using it and can give you details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JordanGriffith Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 here's the original post that Atibal made and deleted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve RA Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Companies should probably not respond, however I don't think too many of us are thinking the Atibal is on a par with the $2.000.00 optic. Perhaps it would have been better if neither had bothered. Skate shooting sounds interesting, would that be ice or roller ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JordanGriffith Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 The problem is Atibal was trying to say their stuff is on par with a Razor HD 2, not Josh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve RA Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Obviously that wasn't included in the quotes posted. I'm certainly not attacking or defending either one. I would certainly agree that if a $400.00 scope was the equivalent of a $2,000,00 one someone would be either not making much money or lying about the benefits of spending more money !!! For what it's worth, I'm going to get one and after that I'll post what I think is good and bad about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JordanGriffith Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 It's got potential for the price range. Definitely has an edge on the Strike Eagle 1-6x. I'm not sure about the 1-8x SE. It doesn't hold its own against the Viper Gen 2 1-6xSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
