Athlon Ares BTR G3

[Airgun.Sniper]

Curious if many have this scope ? I see it on sale at my local dealer for $549 for the 3-15 x 50 FFP.

I’m going MIL if I purchase. And if it helps going to mount in FX Impact M4

It's a 2.5-15x50 and that's a great deal for a fantastic scope, a scope that seems like a scope costing 3 times what it is at regular price. Having one myself that's my IMHO. There's literally nothing about it I've found fault with.

Isn't the Athlon 3-15x50 FFP an ETR and not a BTR.....I could well be wrong! If it is, it has a 34mm tube but is a fantastic scopemat at that price, usually about a grand! I have the BTR Gen2 2.5-15x50 FFP...awesome scope with a 30mm tube, the G3 will be even better like Steve said above.

The Ares ETR is a 3-18x50, and yes 34mm tube, but not super heavy.

The Ares BTR G3 is a 2.5-15x50 has a 30mm tube.

Too me the turrets are superior in the G3 BTR if comparing both. IQ goes to the ETR.

Cavedweller told me he thought the reticle was thicker in his newer Ares ETR 3-18 than in his BTR 2.5-15 which surprised me because that isn't stated in the specs. I wish he'd come over to AZ to show me, lol. I might even buy him dinner.

Athlons BTR and ETR lineups really are quality scopes! Cavedwelller might have expensive food tastes...
