Athlon Argos BTR
For those getting started in the Precision Rifle Series (PRS), the Argos BTR GEN2 scopes are worth considering. Packed with high-end features, these scopes offer a versatile 4x magnification suitable for various shooting disciplines. The Precision True Zero Stop and Advanced Fully-Multi Coated Optics deliver a crystal-clear image in low-light conditions. With an exclusive XPL coating, the lenses are protected from dirt, grease, and harsh weather, while the rugged aircraft-grade aluminum tube ensures durability in any environment. The first focal plane design allows for dynamic reticle scaling as you zoom, and the illuminated reticle enhances visibility in low light. With fully multicoated optics, these scopes provide brighter images by reducing reflections and increasing light transmission.
Burris Droptine
When I decided to take on a weekend hunt in the rugged terrain, I knew I needed a riflescope that could handle both close-range and longer shots without adding unnecessary bulk. Enter the Burris Droptine 3-9x40mm. This scope strikes the perfect balance between magnification and lightweight design. It offers a solid 3-9x zoom range that’s versatile enough for anything from brush shots to reaching out at 300 yards. The Ballistic Plex reticle adds precision for those longer shots, and the optics deliver clear, bright images no matter the lighting. After putting the Droptine through a series of tests, it’s clear this scope is built for performance in the field.
