Best scope at any price - Athlon Optics Argos BTR Gen II 8-34X56mm APMR Rifle Scope

Robert Robinson's Review of Athlon Optics Argos BTR Gen II 8-34X56mm APMR Rifle Scope
If there ever was a time when you needed a scope that will allow you to reach out and touch someone, then look no further. And no...you don't need to spend a fortune on multi-coated lenses, zero stop turrets, MRAD reticles, or even FFP (First Focal Plane). This scope has it all for under $500.
No, it's not a Vortex Razor or even a Night Force. For the money though, you get nearly the same quality as these scopes which will set you back more than $2k! Yes, those are outstanding scopes and each have earned their reputation. Athlon is doing everything possible to earn the same reputation as both of the companies I mentioned, and they're doing an outstanding job with quality, features, and a no questions asked, Gold Metal Warranty.
Owned and operated by US Veterans, not only are you getting "Ridiculously Good Optics" as quoted by the manufacturer, your getting one of the best scopes at any price. Mine is the 8-34x56 and my first observation is the quality compared to several other scopes I currently own. This thing is beautiful! The clarity is crisp and the MRAD MIL reticle is awesome.
If there are any negatives, they are extremely minor but I'll list them in the cons. As for my personal opinion? I love this scope and will likely purchase other Athlon scopes in the future.
Pros:
Glass clarity
Veteran owned business
Materials & Craftsmanship
MRAD - MIL Retical
11 Level Illumination
Long Distance Capable
Lifetime - No BS Warranty
Cons:
Battery Life when appearing Off
Best Used for:
