Customers like the adjustment of the aiming scope sight.

I was very skeptical about deviating from the big names. (Burris, Nightforce, Leopold, Bushnell, ect.) After mounting on my competition .22 and getting shots down range, I am totally blown away. The parallax adjustment is more than you can imagine. The audible and distinct clicks of the turrets. For a base class rifle in the NRL22 league, look no further. The glass clarity is awesome at lower magnification (6-12). It will still get the job done just fine if you need to go up to 24. I will be putting this on my 6.5 creedmoor for out to a mile when I leave base class on .22, with a higher line of scope from Athlon. I've become a life long customer of Athlon and am looking forward to trying more of their products and getting to build the relationship with them!

5.0 out of 5 stars Not bad for a budget scope
Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2020
Style: APLR2 FFP IR MOAVerified Purchase
For the price this thing is great. I took a vortex pst gen 2 off my rifle knowing how well it groups with a good scope and slapped this one on to compare. Shoots the same groups. Only downside is the field of view is significantly smaller than a better quality scope. Glass is clear. The reticle is good. I don’t like the center crosshair it’s way too large and if you’re trying to be precise like I am it might cover the whole target. At 1k yards the center cross covers a clay pigeon or soda can at 1k yards. I didn’t understand how to set up the turret at the range as I sighted one the rifle set the zero stop and went to dial for 1k and it only went to 8moa and stopped. I actually had to take off the turret and spin the black piece to the other side and reinstall the turret for me to be able to dial correctly. I didn’t read the manual so DONT take it out on the scope for my negligence lol. My howa 1500 6mm creedmoor with 20moa base I can dial up to 60moa of elevation and hold over the rest. Overall it’s a great budget scope for the price just don’t compare it to something more expensive. The zero stop is an awesome feature for the price it’s a true zero stop not the hard to set shims like old vortex scopes. The turret clicks are super tactical and crisp not soft and mushy like I thought they would be. I have a vortex diamondback tactical and although In terms of optical clarity I might lean towards the vortex scope but everything else this scope is twice as good as the vortex. I don’t think any scope on the market will compare to this scope at the price it is

5.0 out of 5 stars Clear image and generous eye box
Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2021
Style: APLR2 FFP IR MOAVerified Purchase
I bought this scope to replace one of identical technical specification from a different manufacturer that chose not to stand behind their broken product. The difference in image quality, although there is less than 2 years between Argos BTR Gen 2 and the other scope release dates, is impressive. Athlon Argos offers a clearer image, easy to read reticle, solid tracking and a very generous eye box. It is also less expensive.
To give a practical assessment of image clarity: I was able to easily see holes from a .22 at 100 yards on a white paper target, on a rainy day. Parallax adjustment knob marks match actual distance. Parallax really adjusts down to 10 yards, up to about 10x - perfectly fine for boresighting.
The scope comes with custom lens caps. These sit very tight and close securely. The eyepiece lens has flutes on the outside, the lens cap has matching 'teeth' so that it is possible to adjust the eyepiece without taking the cap off. Very nice detail that demonstrates the attention paid to usability.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice reticle, clear glass for the price, more magnification than I really need
Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2023
Style: APMR FFP IR MILVerified Purchase
I recently received this scope and mounted it on my rifle. Haven't had a chance to shoot yet but I've taken in the view to test the scope's features. I got the MIL reticle and I do like it. Nice, thin and clearly visible etched reticle, not too thick so it doesn't obscure the target at long range with the mag dialed up. The illumination is also quite nice, making use at dawn or dusk much easier. The magnification dial is VERY stiff, particularly over 14x. I'm hoping it will loosen up with time and use. The elevation and windage knobs are solid with audible and tactile solid clicks when you turn them. The zero stop on elevation is simple to use and set. I am a bit displeased that the elevation knob will not actually dial down to the zero line on the elevation post (there's the elevation knob/turret with the numbers on it and the post with lines on it from zero on up). I use a 20 MOA optic mount and that means I really need to dial the reticle way down so I can use virtually all the elevation adjustment to get out as far as possible. The turret stops shy of the zero mark on the post, but this will make it easier to set the zero stop since it is likely to match the bottom of turret movement for a 100 yd zero (we'll see). Overall I'm quite happy with it and expect it to handle me getting out up to 1200 yds easy. Turns out that at 1100-1200 yds about 16x is plenty of mag to see a target. In the future I may upgrade yet again to a more expensive make of scope (like an Arken) but go with a lower mag range like 4 or 5 to 16 (even 14 would probably suffice to my eyes).

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic scope
Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2020
Style: APLR2 FFP IR MOAVerified Purchase
I mounted this on a 24 inch barrel rifle chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor and it handles the recoil no problem. The turrets are smooth and hold adjustments perfectly.

Even at distances greater than 500 yards the picture quality is clear. The reticle is busy and looks intimidating but once you learn the subtensions you can make very accurate adjustments between shots.

Update 1 year later - I went with the suggested scope rings, the vortex ones and don't do it. After 1 year and maybe 150-250rds (6.5 creedmoor rounds are hard to come by these days) later the scope started to slip and I constantly lost my zero. I bought Athlon brand rings and it is so much better. They cost around 100 USD but it was well worth it. No more issues holding a zero. I do plan to upgrade soon to the Ares BTR GEN2 HD 4.5-27x50 with the APLR4 Reticle though. Not because I'm unhappy with the scope but because I'd prefer an MOA reticle that doesn't cover my entire target beyond 700 yards.
