Bought the Athlon Argos 6-24x50

[Slayerious]

Thank you all on the forums so much!

I could have never figured out Athlon by myself and then find a supplier for it, it would have been impossible.

I either would have not had the balls to buy one without your wide approval for the brand.

And by your support I have finally found a scope that has mil/mil, great glass, great features, great turrets, great durability and warranty!

Now it is just up to waiting!

Thanks!!!

I've been looking to purchase that same scope, hopeing to find a Black Friday Deal, where did youget it?

You'll be very pleased. It's a great air rifle optic. FFP, excellent reticle and solid/repeatable mechanics... can't be beat for the at the price they're going for. I have one on my wildcat and have been thrilled with it.

OkThunder,

I believe midway has them on sale for something in the $313 range with free shipping. Not sure if you will be able to beat that price even with a black Friday sale.

As I live in EU I bought mine from Netherlands,

Cost me 425e + 16 euros for the delivery.

I also found two other web shops, other was way off at 690e and other around 500ish.

$ and € courses are almost the same at the moment.

They are selling it for 316$ it seems.


***Question:
Does anybody happen to know if I can use another scope manufacturer's sunshade on my Athlon scope???***

I have the same scope and got an Athlon sunshade for it from--

I would preferably use an european supplier.

it looks like that at least inside Athlon models the 50mm sunshades are cross-compatible, review from Athlon Midas sunshade:
"This sun shade works great on an Argos BTR 6-24x50 scope too."

That gives me hope.

I have been replacing all my airgun scopes with the Athlon Argos and sighting them in at 50 yards. Really like their retical

Has anyone used the Talos 4-14X44? I like the idea of getting the weight down a bit.
