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.
Sig Sauer Whiskey 3
When I planned a rugged whitetail hunt in the thick woods of northern Minnesota, I needed a scope that would keep up with quick shots and shifting weather. I chose the Sig Sauer Whiskey 3 with a 3x optical zoom in the second focal plane, knowing it would provide the balance of precision and simplicity I needed. The low dispersion glass kept my sight picture sharp, even in the dim light filtering through dense trees. Adjustments were intuitive, thanks to the European-style eyepiece, which allowed me to quickly zero in on my target. This scope’s IPX-7 waterproof rating and fogproof performance meant I could rely on it completely, rain or snow. It was a trustworthy companion in the harsh elements.
