    Sold NIB Athlon gen2 ares BTR 4.5-27x50

    Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! Price dropped to $550 shipped. These are pretty good scopes. I have the 2.5-15x50 version on my 7mm hunting rifle for the past few years and it has been great.

    Mount height for ctr and 50mm scope

    This mirrors my experience with the lows on my CTR. If you put a sunshade on the scope you will be able to put a cap on the front.

    From 589 yds to 21

    That is awesome! I love watching bears, and to have them come that close is quite the experience.

    Mount height for ctr and 50mm scope

    I will see if I can find a picture tonight. I don't have them on my gun anymore because they were too low for me. It was less than an 1/8" clearance, maybe about 1/16". I could not get a scope cap to fit unless I had the sunshade on the scope.

    Mount height for ctr and 50mm scope

    The lows will just clear the barrel on a CTR but you most likely wont have enough room to fit a scope cap on the scope. I would go with the mediums.

    First wall tent advice needed

    Another vote for a Davis tent 14x15 or larger. Definitely a good idea to chalk out the tent size you are considering to see if that is big enough for your needs. I have a 14x15 and it is a palace for three people. Four would fit okay, but on longer trips may be a little tight.
