MonkeyKong Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 I'm looking at rifle scopes and came across these from Athlon Optics who look relatively new on the scene. Can't find them mentioned here so wondered if anyone has any experience of them? http://athlonoptics.com/product/helos-btr-6-24x50-apmr-ffp-ir-mil/ http://athlonoptics.com/product/argos-6-24x50-atmr-ffp-ir-moa/ All I've found so far is a couple of US forums where there are some interesting reviews in terms of dialing in to shoot the box which seems fairly positive. E.g. http://www.scout.com/military/snipers-hide/forums/5511-rifle-scopes/14402673-athlon-scopes I'm under no illusion that they're going to cut it with £1000+ scopes but for the money (and the lifetime warranty) and the positive reviews, they caught my attention.

MonkeyKong Posted January 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 Lifetime warranty Is a plus. Never had the chance to look through one though. Is opticswarehouse the only one Importing them ?. https://www.riflecraft.co.uk/ are listed as the distributor on the Athlon site but opticswarehouse also import them. Both seem to be expecting new stock at the end of the month. According to Athlon the new Helos is out due in March which looks like the same spec as Argos but with a few more features like locking turrets and is another notch up the pricing ladder. http://athlonoptics.com/product/helos-btr-6-24x50-apmr-ffp-ir-mil/ Disclaimer: I'm don't work for or have an investment in any of these companies, I've just been trying to find out availability and information on these scopes.
