So I had a misshap with my Ares a few weeks back. My rifle was packed in a Savior case and sitting on a chair about 1.5 feet off the ground when it got bumped and hit the ground. I gave the scope a once over and all looked fine so I brushed it off. Got home and while cleaning realized the mag ring was stiff and gritty. It smoothed out after a few cycles but the following weekend I found the parralax was out.
After returning it Athlon sent a new one back to me no questions asked. Took about 2 weeks from shipping till a new one arrived. My receipt stated ”failed parallax test”. No I never expected this scope to compare to higher tier optics in terms of durability but for a shooter on a budget and with a warranty that's this fast and hassle free, what's not to like. Experience was good enough I may have to give a Cronus a shot when I step up for the next build.
