Today I received my scope. I want to see what the hype is all about with these Athlon scopes so, that’s what I purchased. More specifically, the Argos BTR-APMR FFP 8-34x56 , illuminated. The description below is from the manufacturer’s webpage and lists all the specs for it.

DESCRIPTION:

For those of you that are just getting started in the PRS or are looking to start, take a close look at the Argos BTR family of scopes. These scopes have features normally only found on high-end scopes. It has a 4x magnification that makes it versatile in multiple shooting disciplines. It has our Advanced Fully-Multi Coated Optics that delivers a crystal clear bright image in in dark environments. The Argos BTR also has our exclusive XPL coating that protects your lenses from dirt, grease and harsh weather conditions. The 6061T6 aircraft grade aluminum tube will protect these world class optics no matter what punishment you throw at it. WE just didn’t build the Argos BTR to just perform well optically we also built in features that make easy to adjust for any shot you have to take. These scopes have Side Parallax Adjustment to give you the ability to adjust to any ranged right at your fingertips. This along with the variety of first focal plane reticles give you easy elevation and windage adjustments.

This Argos BTR 8-34×56 Model has APMR first focal plane illuminated MIL reticle in it. Please click the link for download the reticle instruction manual in Specification for more details…

SKU#:214066

FEATURES:

First Focal Plane Reticle:
First focal plane design allows you to fully utilize specially designed reticles that shrink or grow along with your target as you zoom in or out. These reticles offer quick target engagement at low power while offering precise holdover positions with finer details.

Illuminated Reticle:
The illuminated reticle provides greater visibility during dusk and dawn and other low ambient light environment.

Etched Glass Reticle:
Reticle etched on the glass that provides excellent backing support for complex reticle design and offers great durability and much higher shock resistance to recoil

Fully Multicoated:
Fully Multicoated optics effectively reduces reflected light and increases the transmission of light giving you a brighter image than normal single coated lenses

6061 T6 Aluminum:
The 6061T6 aircraft grade aluminum tube that has exceptional strength and superior mechanical integrity will protect these world class optics no matter what punishment you throw at it.

Heat Treated One Piece Tube Construction:
Heat treated one piece tube gives the scope extra strength over multi-piece tubes. A one piece tube also is better at keeping moisture out thus keeping your scope fog proof for the life of the product

Waterproof:
Waterproof to protect the scope in the harshest weather conditions or if accidentally submerged underwater

Fog proof:
Fog proof to allow you to immediately engage your target when you take your rifle to cold ambient temperature from warm inside

Shockproof:
Robust mechanical system with special designs on both control and erector system that give you the ultimate recoil resistance to withstand 1000G recoil for 1000 times.

Argon Purged:
Argon Purging uses the inertia gas with bigger size molecules to purge any moisture out of the tube giving you better waterproofing and thermal stability .

The scope came with lens flip caps that are good quality. Also in the box was a baggie with 6-8 plastic washers. These washers are for when you dial your zero in, you can set a “zero stop”. In other words ....once you have your zero at your preferred zero distance, these washers are inserted under the turret caps to “stop” the turret from being adjusted below your zero. Example: Let’s say you set your scope zero to 100yds. You are out shooting targets from 100-500yds. You adjust your elevation to the 500yd setting (whatever that may be for your setup) and now want to shoot at 100yds again. Instead of counting how many turnsof the turret you made to get your 500yd adjustments, all you have to do is turn the turret back till you hit your “zero stop” and just set the turret to the “0” mark and you are back to a 100yd zero. Hope that makes sense. Lol

Default 1000 or BUST!

I also purchased an EGW 20moa scope rail. Since the Bergara action is essentially a Rem 700 action on steroids, scope rails were super easy to find. I purchased the 20moa rail since I’ll be shooting out to 1000yds. This will help with vertical adjustment ranges.

Oh yeah, almost forgot. I got a bubble level as well. This is pretty explanatory I think.
