Testing A $200 Scope Against A $2,000 Scope
This review compares a $259 Vector Optics Veyron against a $570 Athlon Helos BTR Gen II and a $1,250 Vortex Razor HD LHT. While the budget scope had minor tracking errors and failed a water intrusion test, the mid-priced Athlon surprisingly outperformed the premium Vortex in image quality during a blind test. The Vortex excelled in weight-to-feature ratio, but both premium brands offered superior warranties over the Vector Optics. Ultimately, mid-priced optics currently provide the best performance-to-dollar value.
