Just curious if anyone had any experience with the Athlon Optics Ares BTR Gen2 4.5-27x50 APLR3 FFP IR MOA?
If so would you recommend..why/whynot?

Yes! But not in moa . Very bright and clear in all powers, if you spend a lot of time shooting it’s easy on the eye. The only thing is that the scope is heavy. I believe that ares is the best buy for the buck. Hope that helps

I am happy with mine. It is heavy but the optics are great, turrets are great. Price from Walmart online is great too. Mine is MOA and FFP, just what I wanted.

I have this exact scope. I would only say it's ok. The build quality is excellent, but the optics aren't quite as clear as the BTR Gen II 2/5-15x50 scopes. Past 15X magnification and the clarity really drops off. 20X is acceptable, but only fair/good clarity. 27X is dark, milky, and not very clear at all. I've heard other people that really like this scope though. I'm beginning to wonder if I got a dud???

I would send that back - Life time guarantee and they are easy to work with - mine is Cristal clear at 27X.

Thank you for letting me know this! If yours is crystal clear at 27X, there is definitely something off with mine. I'm going to send it back. I've had to warranty one of their scopes before, and the process was SO EASY! Their customer service is superb.
Thanks!
