Scope question

Recently bought an Athlon Midas TAC HD 6-24x50 for my kidd 10/22. Dials very well. Love the feel of the clicks. Very positive without being difficult to turn. Very repeatable. Crazy good zero stop. Glass is pretty good. Way better glass than the Vortex diamondback tactical it replaced. Reasonable price also. Parallax down to 10 yards.
Bullfrog, I looked at the Athlon, it looks very nice!
 
Thanks for all the input thus far.
I think I have narrowed it down to the two scopes below.
Both manufacturers offer nice Mil. /First responder pricing.
I have never looked through either brands of optics.
I am leaning towards the Athlon, but I have heard great things about Sightron

Does anyone have experience with both?

Athlon Midas TAC HD 6-24x50 APLR4 FFP MOA
Sightron S-TAC FFP 4-20x50 zero Stop

 
I have 4 Weaver T-36 scopes, 1 Mueller 40x, and an older B&L 8 to 24x. The Weavers have positive adjustments as does the B&L but the Mueller adjustments are "soft" and you need to take care when making large >5moa changes. I would be comfortable out to 250yyds with any of these. Last Sunday during our .22 bench silhouette match a fellow passing by asked if any of us were interested in a match rifle. I said that I would have to see it so he left and came back with the rifle. There is a close friend of mine that now owns a CMP Kimber. The price was only $800 and the rifle appears to be in 100% condition. Some days it pays to get out of bed.

This morning I ordered the Athlon Midas TAC HD 6-24x50 APLR4 FFP MOA
Thanks for the feedback on the scopes and the PM's.

Best regards
