Athlon Optics 8-34x56 Argos BTR Gen2 Rifle Scope, FFP APLR2 IR Reticle, .25 MOA, 30mm Tube

Scope is ok for the money. Not great.

Reticle is too busy.

Really like the feature of being able to lock in the stop at zero, which makes it super nice to quickly return to zero. Had a little problem with getting it focused clearly at full zoom, and the cross hairs are a bit thicker than I would like. Other than that it is a great scope, and I'm looking forward to long range deer hunting this year.

Put this on a 1970's older rifle in 7mm-08. Very easy to mount and zero, gave the rifle new "eyes" to make it even better. Very affordable and it gives the shooter a FFP, and easy to learn MOA measurements. Great for a beginner

Price performance is great. A little heavy for hunting; but great on a tripod or stand. Lighted reticle is excellent in low light

I needed a scope I could shoot at 300yrds and see my .25" rounds, and not break the bank. It nearly does it, need to search a little bit if I am a off my mark a fare amount, or in red or black areas, but they are visible. adj are a nice click, not as distinct or smooth as higher end, but they move the shots as needed and movement of shots are acrurate. Glass is good, max zoom seams to allow reasonable light and clarity.

Great product for my hunting rifle. Will continue to use Athlon.

Great scope for the price. At 34x the eye box is a bit tight but if you back it off to 30x or below it opens up and good glass.

Every thing. I use it on my .45 Cal Texan for long range hunting. The optics are extremely clear. In my opinion, the clarity is better than any Hawke scope I have owned. I can see my target clearly at 150 plus yds.

Make a green or red illuminated reticle. As is, it's only red.

If you are shooting long range, the fact that is only focuses down to 15yds, it's no big deal. It is a little heavy but when hunting I always use a bipod or tripod.

The scope has many features for the price. I really like the reticle.

I am unable to lock or zero the windage or elevation turrets. The screws are impossible to loosen. Maybe I am doing something wrong...

The scope is heavy. This is fine for bench shooting, which I do, but the weight would bother me if I was a hunter.

The optics are crystal clear and bright. Turrets are positive and I don't miss the locking feature as I find that they would be virtually impossible to "accidentally" change.

Inclusion of a side wheel would be very useful since the paralax adjustment is pretty stiff.

Athlon scopes all come with a life-time warranty which bodes well for the confidence of the manufacturer in it's product. I'm happy it did, because my windage turret went belly up about 120 days after I bought it. This is my daily driver so it gets quite a bit of use, but I didn't expect this failure. This is the reason I gave the scope 4 stars instead of a solid 5.
