Anybody use these? How are they? Which one? What are you comparing it to?


I ask because I’m looking to scope an AR and a hunting rifle this year....just wondering if the savings are real or if they are a waste of time like so many others....

IMO, the only real deal recently has been Vortex..
 
Athlon makes some very competitive Scopes for the money. For your AR build the Midas TAC would be an option depending on range/use. Definitely worth a peek.
 
I run the Cronus 4.5-29x56 on my RPR 6.5 I am very happy with the overall stoutness of the scope and glass is excellent. I have not sprung for a super high end scope yet, but this brand seems like a great value.
 
Athlon Talos 4-16 x40 here.
Purchased about 8+ weeks ago.

Rubber o-ring for rear lens started falling out 2+ weeks ago.
Now it's 75% out.
It's mounted on a springer air rifle (supposedly rated for springers).

I need to send it back to see how good their warranty is.
 
I have an athlon argos 6x24. Its a FFP which is part of the reason i purchased it. The glass is pretty good, maybe a step down from my burris veracity. The tracking is very good. I set up a target at 100 yds and made 1.5 mil changes up, down, left, right. Shots were right on the mark. It tracked very well. I believe insaw them on sale at midway. Pretty hard to beat for the money. I’d buy again.
 
A range buddy has a couple, and I've looked thru them and shot a few groups helping him with load development. Glass is good and clear at 100 & 200, don't know the models he has.
 
Just put a argos btr 6-24x50 on my varmint gun. Scope is heavy compared to Nikons and burris. Haven't shot the gun yet.
 
I have the same Argos BTR on my 308 and it has been a very pleasant surprise for the money spent. I feel it is not usable above 20x due to eye-box being very tight, otherwise tracking and function is rock solid. Well worth its price of admission and can serve as both hunting and range scope in a pinch. Argos line though is best if you get the BTR..the standard Argos is a much different beast
