Athlon Optics 3-18x50 Ares ETR, APLR6 FFP, 1/4 MOA, 34mm Tube

The clarity has been awesome. The turrets track flawlessly. I wish they had more MOA reticle options, but this is one does more than I need. A little heavy for a mountain hunting rifle set up. But I have it on my rifle for shooting long distance at the range. Has performed in all weather conditions so far. For 55% off, this scope can’t be beat.

This is my second optic from Athlon. The scope is clear, tracks well, and has a generous eye box. Elevation and windage have good tactile clicks during adjustment. Good quality and features that are packed into an affordable price point.

Crystal clear sight picture ease of use, sighted this in at a 100 yards and turrets held zero flawlessly.

The quality of this scope is second to none. Both turrets adjust true at 1/4moa, the glass is crystal clear, and the illuminated retical is top notch in low light scenarios. This scope comes with a sunshade, throw lever and flip up scope covers right out of the box. Whether you are a beginner, or a seasoned marksman, this scope is sure to satisfy! If you’re looking for a rifle scope that will perform in both the field and the range, this is the one for you!

Bought two, one MIL and one MOA. The Athlon Ares 3-18x is an excellent scope, low enough to track targets easily and high enough to make even the longest shots with confidence. The glass is very good, and even in lower light conditions targets were easy to see. Also comes with a lifetime warranty, which I like to have even if I never use it.

Excellent value scope! Highlights are extremely easy to set zero stop and turret adjustments to zero, accurate and repeatable dialing, functional range of illumination, and quality of glass. Easily usable in first and last shooting hours in timber, regardless of moon/weather condition. Seems rugged, haven't dropped. It is heavy, if that matters to you. Does suffer some washout when there's a low sun out front - and sunshades are not included and also nearly impossible to find. Will likely have to use a generic one. Haven't used a scope that would beat this for its price point on Expert Voice if eligible!

Gret sccope with lots of features for the money. So far it tracks very well and is very consistent. Very happy with the features for the money. The scope has many features that top tier scopes have for roughly half or two thirds the cost. Glass is nice and clear and. Very happy with the locking windage and illuminated reticle functions. Very good product for the price point! I now have several of them.

Bought a Tikka T3x for hunting and selected this scope to ride on top. Took it to the range today to sight it in and I love it. Heading out on a hunting trip tomorrow and we shall see how she performs. This is my first 1st focal plane scope, so still getting used to it. It is very bright even on a cloudy day and no issues getting it dialed right in.

Great glass for the money. I like this scope even more than my Leupold VX 3i LRP.

Athlon made a great product with this Ares etr 3-18-50. It has loud audible clicks when adjusting turrets. The glass is very good. I compared it side by side with my NF shv and I would say the glass is on par with that. There is some color variations while looking though them both but that could be the difference between lense coatings or manufacturing process. While it is not the latest scope on the market for it's power the 34 mm main tube does offer extra dialing for longer range shots and helps with light transmission. The zero stop on this scope is rock solid.
