So what are your thoughts on products labeled UHD (Ultra HD)? Marketing ploy or legitimate product. This is in reference to the Athlon Ares UHD 15-45 spotter.

For the most part its just a marketing gimmick, unless there is a third party testing to confirm UHD (and set the standard for what UHD is) its just selling smoke.
Now I bought that spotter, but I didn't buy it because it was claimed to be UHD, I bought it because Schmalt highly recommended the scope.

Judging from the love these are getting I'm strongly considering a budget option though I keep spending all of my cash on other toys. Last week it was a raft of course I can't use it because I just got tossed into quarantine for not following the rules about social distancing (a man's gotta date during Covid)

The product's for hunting and shooting are so advanced these days it is pathetic. We actually seldom find real difference's but rather we find difference's that actually have little difference in the end result. If you compare the average hunter's $200 scope to an expensive Night Force will the Night Force actually offer the average guy any advantage? I don't think so. Seem's I read that the average shot on say a deer is 200 yds!

I’m just an average guy but man I do like my NF scope and it’s been rock solid! But I do shoot a 201+ sometimes.
I also agree some gear is getting pretty advanced and ridiculous like the Revic scope from Gunwerks. I also am thankful for some of the advanced gear that makes camp much more enjoyable these days.
OP- Definitely contact Schmalts and I’m sure he can find something for your budget.

Do you happen to have any pictures through it? I'd love to seen them if you do, and haven't found much on the internet or YouTube showing through the scope.
You will just be sorry you didn't wait for UberUHD
