Athlon Argos BTR 6-24x50 FFP

[Tiger1358]

Does anyone have an Athlon Argos BTR 6-24x50 FFP scope or has anyone used this before? I heard they perform just like Vortex Viper PST, but Athlon is just a little over $350.

I have heard a lot of good things about them on the 6.5 Grendel forum I joined not too long ago- good glass etc. I am not sure how their customer service is though.

I heard their customer service is outstanding. And they got pretty much the same type of warranty as Vortex.

I'm running the Cronus right now and love it!

Lots of info over on snipershide about them. I have been interested in pick one up for myself. Herd glass was clear, tracking is true and the illumination is top notch.
I would love to run one of the new Cronus BTR.

Pretty sure I'm getting a Midas BTR for my next build.

The Cronus is the highest quality scope they make, that's over 2K. I guess for that price any scope should work like a Swiss watch.

I like the idea of a 2.5-15x50. Great...

I placed an order for the new Ares BTR 4.5-27x50 FFP and should be receiving it in the next few weeks. I plan to post a full review after I've messed with it a bit this summer. The few guys I know with their optics are dedicated followers now, similar to Vortex fans. I expect I will join their ranks shortly.
Regarding customer service:
When I've called, I spoke with Jeff for 40-90 minutes each time and he's been overwhelmingly helpful and generous with his time and knowledge. He came from another optics company after trying out the Cronus spotter a few times!

Have you played with the ares at all yet?

[PNW4Life]

My dealer texted me a couple days ago saying Athlon continues to struggle with deadlines and won't be shipping my Ares until mid-May. I've been told it's going to be worth the wait and everyone I chat with about theirs has gushed about the quality of everything.
As soon as mine arrives, it will be getting put through the paces. I just need my custom rifle to get finished up in time for the scope to do my eval all at once.

Make sure to post up a review on the boy, much interested in how it performs!

[PNW4Life]

Will do brother!
