[gr8fuldoug]

We are very excited to say that we have found a line of scopes that run 30-50% less expensive to comparable scopes while not giving up any quality.

Athlon Optics has a wide range of Optics from entry level to high end Tactical Scopes. The scope we are featuring in todays post we are very impressed with. At this price point, we feel, there is nothing out there that can touch it:

Athlon Optics Ares BTR 4.5-27x50 - APLR3 FFP IR MIL only $849.99

FEATURES
HD Glass: HD Glass gives you better light transmission, brighter, and sharper image.

Illuminated Reticle: The illuminated reticle provides greater visibility during dusk and dawn and other low ambient light environment.

First Focal Plane Reticle: First focal plane reticle stays valid at all power settings allowing you to fully utilize the specially designed reticle that shrinks or grows along with your target as you zoom in or out. The reticle offers quick target engagement at low power while offering precise holdover positions with finer details.

Etched Glass Reticle: Reticle etched on the glass that provides excellent backing support for complex reticle design and offers great durability and much higher shock resistance to recoil

Advanced Fully Multicoated: Fully Multicoated optics effectively reduces reflected light and increases the transmission of light giving you a brighter image than normal single coated lenses

XPL Coating: XPL Coating gives you an extra protection on the exterior lenses from dirt, oil and scratches or anything else mother nature can throw at you.

Precision Zero Stop System: The system allows you to lock down your zero position and dial back to it with a sharp and precise stop right at your zero mark even you are turning it in pitch-dark or blinded folded.

High Precision Erector System: The high precision erector system processed by high precision CNC machine with +/- 0.0001mm tolerance level to provide you the most accurate power settings and smoothest magnification change

6061 T6 Aluminum: The 6061T6 aircraft grade aluminum tube that has exceptional strength and superior mechanical integrity will protect these world class optics no matter what punishment you throw at it.

Exposed Tactical Direct Dial: Exposed Direct Dial Turrets for elevation and windage allow you to quickly make adjustment as you needed and engage your target within a blink of your eyes

One Piece Tube Construction: Heat treated one piece tube gives the scope extra strength over multi-piece tubes. A one piece tube also is better at keeping moisture out thus keeping your scope fog proof for the life of the product

Waterproof: Waterproof to protect the scope in the harshest weather conditions or if accidently submerged underwater

Fog proof: Fog proof to allow you to immediately engage your target when you take your rifle to cold ambient temperature from warm inside

Shockproof: Robust mechanical system with special designs on both control and erector system that give you the ultimate recoil resistance to withstand 1000G recoil for 1000 times.

Argon Purged: Argon Purging uses the inertia gas with bigger size molecules to purge any moisture out of the tube giving you better waterproofing and thermal stability .

So you went and got one huh!?? I was going together the same one but the new BTR is only Mil. I'm. MOA guy. You need to let ,e know what you think. Or if you don't mind if I can compare it to my Athlon glass

[lancetkenyon]

I have an ARES BTR 4.5-27 in MOA in my safe right now on a buddy's rifle.

Just curious how it compares to other scopes in its price range? I have used and owned vortex pst, and Burris xtr, they are just not clear at full zoom like my swaro x5. Tracking seems to have been true on all the scopes I have had

I got the Athlon Cronus to try it out. Lots and lots of great reviews. The new BTRs have smaller tighter reticles. I love the glass on my Cronus and l have compared to other higher end glass and cant tell. Lots of other reviews of people having S&B and comparing said they can't tell. (thats just glass though) From all the reviews the glass for the ARES beats out Vortex hands down but doesn't beat out Sightron III. Scope is light and has a zero stop and has a broader range then the Vortex and Sightron. This is what I just read for many hours. I still want to try it out and for the price it beats everyone.

I have that exact scope on my 7mm rem mag and it has quickly become my favorite scope and without smashing other brands just know I have many to compare it to in that price range and even higher. Great product for sure. Very clear on all setting. The only thing that I would like to see different is a zero stop on this model but not a deal breaker.
