Optic for .22 trainer?

Might want to check out the new primary arms 3-18 with their Athena or whatever their reticles are called. They have a mil or MOA version. It’s a FFP scope.
Vortex has a strike eagle in the 3-18
Athlon has 4.5-27 (I have one and it’s good except eyebox is tight at 27)
Also check out the px, lots of guys selling stuff for good prices

If you doubt the Argos BTR's track, let me tell you otherwise.
I won my division at state for the 3rd year in a row with one on my USFT precharged air rifle in Field Target air rifle competition.
On centerfires I've made cold bore shots on steel out to 981Y, a friend does with his as well.
The Midas TAC is a great scope, I have the 4-16 on my AR. For a basic scope and standard reticle it's the best on the market for the money period.
Though my favorite sub $1000 scope is the Ares BTR 4.5-27, mostly because of that awesome .2 mil reticle, but the scope plain works well.

I have several Athlons and they are great scopes but since you own a Razor the new Diamondback Tactical May be a better option for you since you will have the same reticle. I currently have one of the 4-16’s on the way for my 22 trainer. I haven’t had a chance to use one in the field yet but based on just looking at and handeling the scope in a store it seems really nice. Plus with the way Vortex takes care of LE and military they end up being a little less money than the Athlon.
Well, I had a PST Gen 1 back in the day, and it was an ok optic, but i sold it not too long after getting it & replaced it with a Bushnell ERS. Vortex Razors are fine optics, at least the two I have. I'm just not all that impressed with the lower end stuff. I'll most likely go Athlon, even though I detest "Made in China".
Before you send them back call Vortex and find out the torque for the ring cap screws. Two friends and myself have about five of the Viper 6.5-20s. One stopped dialing correctly so it was sent back. Vortex returned the scope with a caution not to over tighten the cap screws. Torque limit was quite low i.e. 12 or 14 inch pounds. No further problems.
The Midas Tac I have on mine is great for the price. The floating dot reticle is why I chose it over several others. It is viewable at 24x but still small enough not to obscure the small targets I like to use.
