For once, not too good to be true! - Athlon Optics Argos BTR 6-24x50mm Side Focus Rifle Scope

SHEEPDOG17's Review of Athlon Optics Argos BTR 6-24x50mm Side Focus Rifle Scope
Straight up, the most value packed scope on the market. This is a first focal plane optic, with illumination, a Christmas tree style reticle, mil mil reticle and turrets, exceptional glass for the money, 4x magnification ratio, and is one of the shortest, lightest rifle scopes of this magnification on the market, and with a legitimate lifetime warranty, from a company that is going to DEFINITELY be around to honor it. Don't believe me?Google Athlon Outdoors, check out their other brands, and research their financial strength. The reticles should make Leupold ashamed of themselves. Vortex is the gold standard of CUSTOMER SERVICE in the Industry, but Athlon matches them in Warranty Terms and in Service. The illumination in this particular scope is no Trijicon, and thus not daylight bright. Illumination has its place, however, and to me, that's at night. The illumination is crisp and not overpowering in this role. The glass isn't on par with my NightForce SHV, but I'll put the glass in the same category with Vortex Viper PST Gen 1, SWFA and Weaver Tactical, but for HALF THE PRICE. Athlon scopes are the benchmark for long range target value scope manufacturers, the way Optics Planet is the benchmark for scope retailers. Your satisfaction with Athlon, the Argos BTR 6-24x50, and Optics Planet are a safer bet than your HEALTH and TWICE that of a WIFE!
Pros:
VORTEX WARRANTY, NIGHTFORCE RETICLES, VIPER PST GLASS, and from now on ATHLON VALUE!
Cons:
NONE. SERIOUSLY.
Best Used for:
long range hunting, target competition, banging steel you can barely see.
Would Recommend:
Yes
