Athlon Argus on a tx200?

[madeintheuk]

I currently have a vortex crossfire 2 on it, and to be honest, I dislike it a lot! The only reason it’s still on there is the warranty, and guarantee that it’s springer rated. 
I have an athlon Argus 6-24x50 that I just picked up, and I really like the glass and the reticle, but I can’t find any info on whether it’s springer rated.

From my understanding, all Athlon's are spring gun rated. Where I got this information from was from AOA. When I was at the shop and bought my first Spring gun, I asked about a scope and one of the brands they recommended was Athlon. The rep told me “all scopes we have in stock are spring gun rated”. I have a Athlon Talos FFP 4 - 14 x 44 that I can say held up with 600+ shots before I decided to sell the gun it was on top of. Spring guns weren’t my thing but the Athlon I had held up very well. Hope this helps but if ever in doubt, I highly recommend calling AOA. Whether you bought it from them or not, they’re always helpful.

ALWAYS contact the maker and do it by email then save the email for future reference/warranty/etc. Despite what anyone says no mount will supplant a scope makers warranty!

So to update, I emailed athlon directly, and they said that it does handle the recoil of a springer. Specifically my tx200.
