Athlon Ares BTR

So I have been using the scope for a month or so, I have it on my CZ455 22lr that I use for the NRL22 matches and other precision 22 matches. So I am not putting to any sort of recoil test, but I have been happy with it so far. It tracks well and comes right back to zero. The Zero Stop was easy to set and it has come back to zero every time. The glass is good and the reticle is really useful for windage hold off. I did add a throw lever which helps in the matches. It is also helpful that the reticle in already in the Strelock pro app.


I bought the scope from Frank who is on here as AthlonOpticsGuy and he was fantastic to deal with. He threw in a set of Seekins rings which are really nice and they arrived before the scope, which was shipped really really fast. In time for a match it all worked out great. We even had a hiccup in getting a sunshade for the scope and Frank was great with the follow through on that and it arrived last week.


I am only posting just to let you all know that he is good guy with a good product. I am all tapped out in terms of scope and gun $$ right now and wont be buying another scope for a while, but if I am looking at another Athlon; Frank is my first and only call.

Mine, the 4.5-27 version, is sitting in the safe unmounted right now, darnit. Fire restrictions currently....

Had a 2.5-15, I miss it, sold it to a hunter in a bind. It was a great scope for a AR.
