MSK's Review of Athlon Optics Talos BTR 4-14 x 44 mm Rifle Scope 30mm First Focal Plane
Got this for a PCP airgun. The scope is optically remarkable for the price. Competes quite favorably with a 10X42 Super Sniper and a 3-15x50 Weaver tactical. I must agree with a number of other reviews who noted that the hash marks on both turrets do not align perfectly with the hash marks on the scope body. But, at least in my case, these deviations are really minor. I could not mistake which "click" I am on. The turret "clicks" are quite clear, and the turrets are re-settable to zero at any particular "click" position -unscrew the 3mm allen screw and the turret can be lifted and repositioned. But do mind the o-rings sealing the turret mechanisms. The reticle illumination knob is really uncomfortably stiff to turn on, or off. But the illumiated reticle is great feature to have for all the low-light situations in life. The BTR reticle is busy, but for target shooting it works just fine. FYI: The right size of Butler Creek 'flip-up' covers are the #19 for the ocular and the #31 for the objective. Also, the same sun-shade for the Primary Arms PA4-14x44 series of scopes (item# PA4-14SS) fits perfectly on this scope as well.
Pros:
- Clear optics at all powers
- good texture
- Positive audible turret positioning
- smooth parallax and zoom adjustments
Cons:
- stiff illumination knob
Best Used for:
- Target & Hunting
Would Recommend:
Yes
