Such clarity. Such Brightness. Such a sharp reticle. Such a fine center dot. Easy to install and zero. The windage and elevation knobs are very positive and give good tactile feedback for the clicks. The zoom knob is a bit stiff, but I anticipate it should smooth out quickly with use. Same with the parallax adjust knob. If it doesn't smooth out – meh – easy to live with no problem as is. Very happy with this scope.

Bought this for my Bergara B14R. The rifle does double dutr as a PRS and benchrest rifle and this scope is perfect for both shooting disciplines. The turrets have very positive clicks, very well made scope. I'd recommend the Athlon Optics Argos BTR Gen II 10-40x56mm MOA Rifle Scope to anyone.

I put this scope on my anchutz match gun. It’s a scope that is well worth the money. I use it for shooting 50 yd match shooting. I wish it was a 50 power scope instead of a 40. But it does the job and that’s all I need

I couldn't have made a better purchase. I had to purchased a tall set of scope rings to mount the scope due to the 56mm bell needing to clear the barrel with the lens cover on. The 1/8 inch per click will help make any rifle with the right ammo more accurate.

I watched a couple of reviews on YouTube, one by “Survival Defense Lab” and another by “Glen Butler” where they were comparing the Athlon Argos BTR to the Vortex Viper. I own several Vortex scopes and I’ve had a Viper PST for several years, and I love it, so I was impressed that at this price range I could get a 1/8 moa scope that some people are comparing to the Viper, and that the scope comes with a lifetime warranty (just like the Vortex has). After I got it I realized that the glass is nowhere near the quality of the Viper. At full power the glass seemed to get a little darker, and the focus lost some of its crispness. On top of that, it has a nice reticle that looked really good against lighter targets, but when I tried to see it against darker targets, it got lost in the background, so I couldn’t see where I was aiming. I called Athlon and told them the model that I bought, and asked them if I was doing something wrong, they told me to turn on the illuminated reticle and told me where “it was located”. After I told him that there was no mention of an illuminated reticle in the owners manual, he then told me that it didn’t have one. I then asked him if there was any adjustments or anything that would make it better, and he told me “no”. I asked him if he was telling me that I’m stuck with a scope that I can’t see the reticle on when I shoot darker targets, and he said “ basically, that’s it”. I messed with the scope some more and after I got my parrallax set up, I found that at 48 yards I can see the center dot on the reticle if I turn the scope up to 40X but the sight picture isn’t nearly as clear as it is at lower powers. With my Vortex scopes I see the reticle just fine at any magnification setting. In closing, I must say that not only was the scope nowhere near the quality of my Vortex scope, but the customer service wasn’t anywhere near it as well. Based on the customer service I received, I would not feel comfortable sending a scope back to Athlon if I had a problem with it. For somebody who has better eyesight, and a tight budget, or for someone who feels that having a lot of feature is more important than the quality, this scope might be just the thing they‘re looking for. The bottom line is that with shooting optics, you get what you pay for, and this scope is definitely NOT a Vortex.

This is a great scope for the money. Let's compare. #1 Vortex Golden Eagle. Cost 4 times as much and does have better glass. 4 times better? No Way.#2 Vortex PST Gen2. Cost more than double. Better glass? Hard to tell and I have had them side to side.#3 Leupold. Get real. There is no comparing the two. Leupold is in a class way above any of these scopes. Again 5 times the money.I saw a review on Amazon that said it would not focus on 40x. That everything in front of the target and behind the target was blurry. Now I have only been shooting competition for 25 years. I have never owned an adjustable scope with the ability to do all that, and I own the Leupoled and Vortex Golden. You want a good scope at a better than fair price, this is the scope for you. I used it on my CZ 457 for F-Class .22 matches from 55 meters and 100 yards and it works great. NRL 22 from 15 yards to 100 yards and it worked great. I have it on my 6.5 creed out to 1000 and not an issue 1. If I was just starting I would buy this again in a heart beat. I only bought it because on of my high end scopes was being cleaned. That scope has been sitting on my bench for a few months now. It may never go back on any of my guns unless this one breaks or needs cleaned.
