Athlon optics ?
« on: July 22, 2020, 07:10:27 PM »
Seeing if anyone has used athlon optics  looking to get a new spotting scope seems like guys are giving them good reviews .    Trying to decide between the athlon or vortex

Impressed with my Athlon Scope.   Have a couple leupold VX-6 HD scopes that cost 2 to 3 times as much.  Athlon better turrets and more durable,  glass similar.   Only disadvantage is common to these , march and similar scopes, they have a narrower field of view.

I have 2 riffle scopes and a Ares 15x45 spotter. I think they are fine, especially at the price point. No regrets, would purchase again.
