The Athlon Optics Argos BTR Gen2 1-8x24 rifle scope is a versatile optic built for shooters who need both close-range speed and mid-distance capability. Whether you're running an AR platform rifle, hunting hogs in thick cover, or ringing steel at the range, this 30mm scope gives you flexibility without compromise. The 1-8x magnification range lets you keep both eyes effectively open at low power for fast target acquisition, then dial up to 8x when you need precision at intermediate distances. With its ATSR5 glass-etched reticle and illuminated center, target pickup stays quick even in marginal light—and the reticle is engineered with holdover points out to 600 yards for common 5.56mm loads.
Built on an aircraft-grade aluminum tube with Advanced Fully Multi-Coated optics and Athlon's XPL protective coating, this scope handles the durability demands of serious shooters. Argon purging keeps internal glass fog-free through temperature swings, and the scope is fully waterproof and shockproof. The 3.5-inch eye relief provides comfortable shooting position across the magnification range, while the fixed 100-yard parallax setting suits most shooting scenarios. At 16.1 ounces, it won't weigh down your rifle, and the high-precision erector system keeps adjustments repeatable—critical if you're removing and reinstalling the scope on your gun.
This package includes a Brownells 30mm cantilever scope mount machined from 6061-T6 aluminum billet. That one-piece design positions the scope far enough forward to clear AR receiver rails and gives you ample head space, while hardened steel 1/2-inch hex nuts lock everything down with serious clamping force. The mount and scope can be removed as a unit and reinstalled with minimal zero shift, a genuine advantage in the field or at the range.
| Magnification | 1-8x |
| Objective Lens | 24mm |
| Tube Diameter | 30mm |
| Reticle | ATSR5, glass-etched, illuminated |

| Weight | 16.1 ounces |
| Tube Type | Aircraft-grade aluminum, one-piece |
| Purging | Argon |
| Included Mount | Brownells 30mm cantilever scope mount, 6061-T6 aluminum billet |
The Brownells 30mm cantilever mount is designed for AR-platform rifles and other modern sporting rifles with Picatinny rails. It will not fit traditional hunting rifles with existing scope bases.
Yes. The ATSR5 reticle includes holdover points calibrated for 68 and 69 grain BTHP 223/5.56mm rounds out to 600 yards, making it practical for both hunting and range work with common 5.56 ammunition. The illuminated center aids target acquisition in low light.
The included Brownells mount is designed as a one-piece unit that can be removed and reinstalled with minimal zero shift, thanks to its rigid billet construction and hardened steel locking nuts. This makes it practical for swapping between rifles or breaking your setup down for transport.
At 1x, both eyes stay effectively open for rapid target acquisition at close range, critical for fast-moving game or defensive scenarios. At 8x, you gain enough magnification to identify and engage targets at intermediate distances without a hefty optic that's hard to use up close. This range covers most hunting and tactical shooting situations where a do-it-all scope makes sense.
