The Athlon Argos BTR Gen II 8-34x56mm MRAD Rifle Scope is an excellent addition to an entry-level Rifle Scopes that is packed with features. This rifle scope by Athlon Optics features fully multi-coated lenses that effectively reduce the reflected light and increases the transmission of light giving you a brighter image than normal single-coated lenses. The Athlon Argos BTR Gen-2 8-34×56 MRAD Rifle Scope has a one piece tube construction that ensures extra strength over multi-piece tubes. The Athlon Argos BTR Gen-2 8-34x56mm Rifle Scope is waterproof to protect the scope in the harshest weather conditions or if accidentally submerged under water. Finally, both waterproof and fogproof models of the Argos BTR Gen-2 8-34x56mm MRAD Precision Rifle Scopes include tough reticles that allow you to lock down your zero position and dial back to it with a sharp and precise stop right at your zero mark, even if you are turning it in pitch-dark or blindfolded.

If there ever was a time when you needed a scope that will allow you to reach out and touch someone, then look no further. And no…you don't need to spend a fortune on multi-coated lenses, zero stop turrets, MRAD reticles, or even FFP (First Focal Plane). This scope has it all for under $500.No, it's not a Vortex Razor or even a Night Force. For the money though, you get nearly the same quality as these scopes which will set you back more than $2k! Yes, those are outstanding scopes and each have earned their reputation. Athlon is doing everything possible to earn the same reputation as both of the companies I mentioned, and they're doing an outstanding job with quality, features, and a no questions asked, Gold Metal Warranty.Owned and operated by US Veterans, not only are you getting "Ridiculously Good Optics" as quoted by the manufacturer, your getting one of the best scopes at any price. Mine is the 8-34×56 and my first observation is the quality compared to several other scopes I currently own. This thing is beautiful! The clarity is crisp and the MRAD MIL reticle is awesome.If there are any negatives, they are extremely minor but I'll list them in the cons. As for my personal opinion? I love this scope and will likely purchase other Athlon scopes in the future.

You get a lot of scope for $400ish. Looking to reach out far, then this scope is for you. Feels light and solid. Clicks are crisp and lifetime warranty!!

I initially got this scope with the intention of using it for hunting, but it’s too big and heavy and overpowered for the vast majority of hunting applications. I’ve put it on a precision 22 and it’s fantastic because it has enough zoom to be able to see the holes in the paper at 100 yards, and for that purpose, the weight is far less important or even beneficial.

Good built scope clear glass, good lenses coatings, good click adjustments.

I own four Athlon Argos 8-34X56mm scopes. I use them for NRL22 and ARA benchrest factory class. For the money I don't think you'll find a better scope. They are very bright and clear.
