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.

Crimson Trace Hardline Pro

The Crimson Trace Hardline Pro 4-16x50 is designed for shooters who value precision and adaptability in their optics. Equipped with an illuminated CT Custom MR1-MOA reticle, this scope excels at both mid to long-range shooting, offering clear and reliable targeting on a second focal plane. The exposed turrets provide smooth, quick adjustments, while the parallax adjustment on the left side allows for precise target focus. I found the lightweight anodized aluminum construction durable and well-suited to varying field conditions, with multi-coated lenses that enhance clarity and reduce glare. At 25.4 ounces, the Hardline Pro is waterproof, fog-proof, and shockproof, backed by Crimson Trace’s trusted lifetime warranty.
