FEATURES
HD Glass: HD Glass gives you better light transmission, brighter, and sharper image.
Illuminated Reticle: The illuminated reticle provides greater visibility during dusk and dawn and other low ambient light environment.
First Focal Plane Reticle: First focal plane reticle stays valid at all power settings allowing you to fully utilize the specially designed reticle that shrinks or grows along with your target as you zoom in or out. The reticle offers quick target engagement at low power while offering precise holdover positions with finer details.
Etched Glass Reticle: Reticle etched on the glass that provides excellent backing support for complex reticle design and offers great durability and much higher shock resistance to recoil
Advanced Fully Multicoated: Fully Multicoated optics effectively reduces reflected light and increases the transmission of light giving you a brighter image than normal single coated lenses
XPL Coating: XPL Coating gives you an extra protection on the exterior lenses from dirt, oil and scratches or anything else mother nature can throw at you.
Precision Zero Stop System: The system allows you to lock down your zero position and dial back to it with a sharp and precise stop right at your zero mark even you are turning it in pitch-dark or blinded folded.
High Precision Erector System: The high precision erector system processed by high precision CNC machine with +/- 0.0001mm tolerance level to provide you the most accurate power settings and smoothest magnification change
6061 T6 Aluminum: The 6061T6 aircraft grade aluminum tube that has exceptional strength and superior mechanical integrity will protect these world class optics no matter what punishment you throw at it.
Exposed Tactical Direct Dial: Exposed Direct Dial Turrets for elevation and windage allow you to quickly make adjustment as you needed and engage your target within a blink of your eyes
One Piece Tube Construction: Heat treated one piece tube gives the scope extra strength over multi-piece tubes. A one piece tube also is better at keeping moisture out thus keeping your scope fog proof for the life of the product
Waterproof: Waterproof to protect the scope in the harshest weather conditions or if accidently submerged underwater
Fog proof: Fog proof to allow you to immediately engage your target when you take your rifle to cold ambient temperature from warm inside
Shockproof: Robust mechanical system with special designs on both control and erector system that give you the ultimate recoil resistance to withstand 1000G recoil for 1000 times.
Argon Purged: Argon Purging uses the inertia gas with bigger size molecules to purge any moisture out of the tube giving you better waterproofing and thermal stability.

Bought one. Thanks Doug

 

[gr8fuldoug]

Thanks for the support, it is greatly appreciated

 

[zr1backwoods]

Doug,

Can you confirm that the 2.5-15 received the updated turret design (top coin slot screw vs. side set screws) like the the 4.5-27? If yes, is all your stock the updated design?

Thanks!

 

[gr8fuldoug]

All of our stock is not the latest coin slot reticle, however, just give us a call and we will make sure your scope is the latest version. No worries

Disappointed sent mine back

 

[dejo]

thoroughly happy with mine. Doug was everything they say- fast, friendly and awesome.

 

[vmpglenn]

Disappointed sent mine back

Why disappointed?

 

[Designhunter]

Why disappointed?

Turrets were super mushy compared to my etr and my vortex’s. I also have an hmr with much better turrets.

 

[Jack's Dad]

any thoughts on this vs swfa 3-15? I like my swfa but missing a few features that I really like ie. zero stop, 10 mil turrets.

I really don't need this scope, but I ordered one anyway. Figure it could be a fairly inexpensive way to see if I can live with a tree reticle. Some folks are of the opinion that the glass quality of the Ares BTR falls somewhere between the SWFA 3-15 and the Viper PST 2. I really like the 3-15x44 PST 2 I've handled and consider that to be the logical next step up from the SWFA, but the Athlon shows a lot of potential. I'm very pleased with the Athlon Midas BTR 1-6x24 mounted on one of my rifles, so my experience with the brand has been positive so far.

I would tend to give the SWFA somewhat of an advantage for its reputation of having repeatable turret adjustments, robust build quality and an excellent warranty. Athlon has a good warranty too, but being that this is a discontinued model, your options for dealing with a faulty example will probably be either a refund or credit towards the more expensive replacement model.

I'll be able to compare the Athlon to my SWFA fixed 12X and my Sightron SIII 6-24 when it arrives next Monday or Tuesday. Not exactly apples-to-apples but it'll be interesting to check them out together, and the Athlon definitely has a better feature set than either of those scopes.

The turrets on the SWFA are at least as mushy of turrets. For the same price I would take the Athlon, for 400 sending one back for "mushy turrets" is funny to me. The "mushy turrets" is the reason they are getting cleared out for 400, instead of 700. They are great value for 400. They track well, some people just think turrets should feel like the clicks on a 3/4" ratchet I guess. LOL

 

[drewthebrave]

I just bought one, so I'll be able to compare to my SWFA 3-15x SFP scope when it arrives.

Just got mine today. The turrets do have a softer click than my SWFA or Sightron, but both of those are 5 MILS per turn instead of 10 so you would expect their more course adjustments to feel a little better in this price range. Removing the rubber O-ring greatly improves the clicks on the Athlon but doing so also allows the turrets to turn with less effort. It almost makes them too easy to turn (more so on the windage turret) so I'll probably leave the O-rings installed. I can live with soft clicks. My example has the coin slot turret caps and the splines line up well with the markings through multiple revolutions. The parallax and illumination controls are a bit stiff but will likely loosen up a bit with use. The effort needed to turn the power ring and occular focus feels just about right.

The view through the Athlon looks pretty good. There's no tunneling at low magnification, the image quality is still nice and bright at top magnification, and it has a slightly larger FOV between 6 and 15 power compared to the Sightron. The Athlon also focuses at much closer distances than the Sightron which should make it appealing to air gun and rimfire shooters. It appears to have just a tad more CA than the Sightron, but not enough to make a real difference. Comparing the SWFA, Athlon and Sightron at 12x really doesn't show a huge difference in image quality to my eyes, and it's surprising how well the SWFA stands in this company. However, this one came off their Sample List with a "Demo A" rating, and I suspect it was a cherry-picked example - everything about it looks and feels a bit better than any other SWFA 10x or 12x I've played with.

The Athlon's illumination has a range of settings that should be appropriate for all light conditions. At max brightness it's daylight bright above 5x or so, and there's no blooming that I could see against a dark background. If it tracks reliably, this optic looks like a keeper. It's hard to imagine how you could get more scope for $400.00
