Shane P.'s Review of Athlon Optics Argos BTR Gen II 8-34X56mm APLR2 Rifle Scope
I have Vortex, Monstrum G3 and Swampfox scopes on my rifles. After reading tons of reviews I settled on this Argos Gen ll 8-34x scope knowing it wasn’t going to rival $1k and over scopes. Overall I’m pretty impressed. The etched reticle is crisp and the glass is sharp. The illumination isn’t super bright but I don’t really care as I don’t plan to do distance shooting at night. The glass is great. I didn’t find that it lost a ton of clarity at max magnifications. I would say the glass is similar to my swampfox and to middle range Vortex scopes and far superior to the Monstrum. I like the layout of the controls as well. The illumination dial being separate is nice. The parallax adjustment is smooth and effective as is the focus adjustment. Turret clicks are audible and tactile. Not perceived mushiness at all. Firm but not overly firm. This was my first Athlon scope and I am pretty sure I’ll be purchasing another.
