[the badger243]

hey everyone, I have been reading alot about this company. the model i have been reading about is the argos btr ffp 6x24 50mm the price is around the 400 mark and alot of reviews of this scope compared to the vortex viper pst have gotten pretty good reviews. was wondering if anyone on the forums has had any experience with this company or their scopes. Any info would be appreciated thanks guys

I bought one last year. Heavy, but it worked fine on an elk hunt. Moved it onto 223 bolt tac rifle and it tracked accurately out to 1000yd. Based on tall target test the verticle is .103mil per click, and the turret adj is ok but not great.The glass is clear, esp for the money and the reticle is a good design for holdoffs. It is a lot scope for the money and durability is about the only question at this stage.

thanks for the reply and this would mainly be used on a 243 savage heavy barrel. does not see much rough terrain or elements. would mainly be used for bench shoots and comps with the occasional trip out to the fields for some groundhog and coyote fun. i have read about the 8x34 56 model as well but the 6x24 50 seems to get better reviews
