Description
The Athlon Scope Midas Tac is a 5-30x riflescope with a 56mm objective on a 34mm tube. The reticle is in the first focal plane.
A 30x top end is intended for precision at distance. High magnification narrows the field of view, shows mirage more readily and makes the picture more sensitive to how steady the rifle is held.
First focal plane: the reticle grows and shrinks with the magnification, so its subtensions – the hash marks used to hold for wind and drop – measure the same at every power. The trade is a reticle that can look fine at low power and coarse at high.
A 34mm tube generally allows more internal elevation adjustment than a 1 inch tube, which matters when dialling for distance. Rings or a mount must be 34mm – ring diameter is not adjustable and a different size will not clamp.
The 56mm objective sets how much light the scope can gather and how tall the rings need to be to clear the bell.
