Now, don’t get me wrong, this scope is a high-quality scope… But it’s not going to live up to the likes of an Athlon Ares or Cronus, or a $2,000 Leupold. A beginner long-range shooter who wants to stretch into those longer distances, but doesn’t want to stretch their wallet.Who is looking for an all-in budget build of under $1,000 (gun and scope).It was hard to believe they were able to get such a high-quality scope for the price point in the first generation - but once again they were able to improve on a great budget scope and keep it at the same bargain price point! So, we pressed our reps at Athlon to give us a sneak peek of all the upgrades and new features they jammed into the new scopes. Last year, when we found out Athlon Optics was releasing the 2nd generation of their hugely popular Argos BTR scopes, we immediately wanted to get the inside scoop. "The clarity drops a little as the magnification increases (obviously less so with the more powerful 10-40x56)"."Budget builders will love it for its versatility, durability, and rich assortment of top-of-the-line features - all for around $400".My goal is for this to be the only review you need to read. The Athlon Argos BTR Gen2 riflescopes are FINALLY available - and we’ve got a comprehensive review below that hopefully helps you decide if this family of scopes is right for you.įor this review, I wanted to focus on what has changed or been upgraded between the 1st generation of Athlon Argos BTR riflescopes and 2020’s Gen2 editions.
