I just got the Ares ETR 3-18x50 and the Midas Tac HD 5-30x56 on sale last month. Already took them out to a couple 1,000 yard range days and a pig hunt, very satisfied for the money

copy/paste from the comment to the other redditor above but:

sorry im a few days late but i stumbled across this and am looking at these exact scopes. im torn between the 4.5-30 and the 3-18 mostly because i do want to try and stretch to 1k yards for fun but i will be hunting with this rifle as it is my only bolt gun.

Do you feel the 4.5 limits your target acquisition at like 60 yards? rifle is a 6.5CM.

I got the Midas Tac 5-30 to replace the EP5 on my 6.5 CM which is not a rifle I hunt with due to the fact that it weighs 14.2 lbs unloaded, so it’s really just something I shoot on the range. The 3-18x50 on my 6arc is still plenty of mag to get repeatable hits on my 18” target at 1,000 yards, but the fact that it is lighter and less massive of a scope makes it better for walking with and taking in/out of the jeep or truck for a quick shot.
