Every scope is a compromise. I bought this scope to be usable as a hunting scope as well as a mid range target scope. At the lower magnifications is is an excellent hunting scope albeit a bit heavy. It also shines as a 200 - 300 yd. bench scope. The optics are first class and the illuminated reticle is a bonus. I like that the illumination has an off setting in between each brightness setting. The parallax setting is also a bonus. You will have a hard time finding all these features in another scope at anywhere near this price.
Very thorough company and spot on with answers to questions.
So far I am very pleased with this product. I have been having a problem trying to get the right date on the screen, but other than that it is working great. I have found compared to my old chronograph which is the older type, it is easier to use by far. I feel it is more accurate as well. I feel that the older chronograph depends on light at a given time to give a accurate reading, this unit does not and reads out immediately. Very very easy to use. I would defiantly recommend this unit.
Gave 4 stars because it took over 1 week to get in the mail.
I recently received these rings when I purchased my Gen 3 Argos scope. These rings seem well made, and to appear of good quality. Very happy with the purchase!
The Athlon Argos Gen 3 has exceeded my expectations for my 10/22 build. I am using this to compete in 100M Benchrest, so wanted a bit more magnification. The glass is better than I expected for this price point. The eyebox is a bit tight, but once I get setteled in I’m fine. With a 30 MOA rail, I can zero at 50 yards, and have 11.5 mil up. I could shoot to 200 m but for 300 I would have to hold over a bit. As it’s a 10/22 I likely won’t shoot at 200M often and I knew about the limited MOA elevation prior to ordering. This scope fill my needs nicely. Quick shipping, very happy!
I did purchase the Athlon Premier rings (30 mm, med height) at the same time. Quality seems good! Easy install! Again, very Happy!
This is my first step into getting into astrophotography and it’s really easy to use. I live in a major city and it still does super well. Well worth it. Customer support here was very responsive and helpful also on making my decision. Thanks
I ordered a pair of athon midas binoculars and was very happy with the whole process from start to finish. The binos showed up quickly and were packaged greatly for travel and safety. I would completely recommend using this site for optics buying online and intend to buy my spotting scope from here when I am ready to make that purchase as well.
We had a problem with 2 of the compass' breaking in shipping. They quickly sent replacements to put into our engraved boxes. They look wonderful.
Great working with Red Carpet. The telescope was back ordered and arrived exactly as they predicted. Very easy and competent people to work with.
Before ordering, I called with a question. I was so surprised when someone answered - not a machine. Great customer service and the compass is exactly what I wanted! Great quality - the engraving looks very nice - quick turnaround! I’m so excited to give this to my husband for our 50th anniversary. He’s going to love it!
Customer service was quick, product arrived on time and Athlon Talos is a great scope. Really recommended.
This scope is great! Well worth the money.Thinking of buying a couple more.
Customer service gets a big thumbs up 👍🏽
First athlon product and very impressed with glass and performance Great optic for my air arms s510
This is an excellent eyepiece. I had over 120 guests visit this eyepiece during the Lunar Eclipse and look through this 28 mm eyepiece in my 12" Dobsonian. It worked excellent, with a filter before totality and without a filter during totality.

Clarity is awesome in these binos , Sellers were very helpful and delivery was fast.. wish the lenses were ruby coated a little hard to see in the afternoon when the sun shines and there’s snow.. def.. recommend
Bought this for my son for Christmas and he loves it. He is waiting for the freezing nights to pass to get out there and use it!
