This product was amazing. The 1.5-4x magnification is perfect for CQB Environments. It's built incredibly well I love it.

This truely is a top tier riflescope.  If you go to a precision rifle match, you will see Schmidt & Benders, USOptics, and this scope as the top 3 scopes in use by the shooters that are actually skilled and performing well.  By no means is this a S&B or USO scope, and it shouldnt be for 1/3 the price, but it has most of the same features and is able to compete with them, and that is why it is in use.  Most people do not have a $4000-$5000 rifle, and they definately cant afford to put a $3000-$4000 scope on one if they did; for those of us who cant do that, we use THIS scope.

The description on Amazon is incorrect, this is not illuminated.  At the time I write this, Bushnell does not make an illuminated version of this scope.

The G2DMR reticle is amazing.  It is easy to learn, easy to use, and can get you through whatever ranging or adjusting you need to make.  It is almost impossible ot see the marks when at the lower magnifications, but that is a drawback of all FFP scopes with a large magnification range.

The FFP (First Focal Plane) keeps the reticle the same size in relation to the target no matter what magnification you are set at, this allows for range finding and compensation to be done at all magnifications, instead of at whichever magnification the reticle is calibrated to on non-FFP scopes.

The photo is a bit misleading due to the scopes dimensions.  This is a BIG scope.  The tube is 34 mm, not a typical 30 mm, so scope rings are harder to find.  The knobs are also HUGE, but that is handy when making fast adjustments.  The magnification adjusting ring is very tight, but that can be gotten used to or a ring can be added to add some leverage to make it easier to move.

Adjustments are accurate and repeateable.  My scope adjustments matched the reticle tree exactly, and that is the case with everyone I have spoken to with one of these scopes.  The turrets are easily reset for zero, are easy to adjust, and lock into place when not adjusting.

This scope is probably a bit much and way too heavy for a deer rifle you may be carrying around with you.  As the name states, it is made for 'tactical' or competition rifles which are already heavy and almost always shot off of a rest or supported some way,

I have mine mounted with Badger Ordinance rings and bases onto a custom Rem 700, Shilen barrel in 6.5 Creedmore, and a McMillan A5 stock, this setup repeatedly will shoot 1/2 MOA or better.

This is my first high end optic, and all I can say is wow. Once I got it sighted in, it was hitting everything I was aiming at.

That is you have to see through it to appreciate it. I was pleasantly surprised at the simplicity of this little scope. A quick summation should suffice:
The optical clarity is excellent all through the zoom range. There is always something better, but if it works well who cares?
The field of view is more than sufficient at the longest range.
It is easy to hold without losing sight of the target image, especially if you can lean against something for support.
Unlike binoculars it is quick to pull out and start using it.

This monocular works much better than I expected. I use it for looking at targets on a pistol/rifle range, and can easily see holes in the paper at 50 yards, sometimes out to 75 yards. It is so small it can be hidden in the hand if for some reason that would be necessary.
I have been using optical devices (rifle scopes, camera lens etc) for over 40 years so I have a good deal of experience with gadgets like this. Having paid more than $2000.00 for rifle scopes and pricey German camera optics, I find nothing wrong with this little scope. Time will tell if it wears well.

great scope have been using mine for the past 2 weeks and I love it there is a learning curve for using it but the group on Facebook was a tremendous help I will be ordering a second one soon to put on my crossbow

I purchased this scope for and mounted in on a .30-06 light tactical rifle.  After firing a few hundred rounds with it, I am pleased to say that this scope has exceeded my expectations.  It is clear and durable.  There are no issues with it whatsoever.  I will be putting another one on a 20" AR-15 for some long range shooting.

This is a really nice scope and that comes from someone who has used open sights all his life.  I probably got lucky, but the scope was even sighted in when I put it on my rifle.  Absolutely no complaints about the scope--just about my old age unsteadiness.  JG

I just got this scope last night and was able to take it out on my Savage 10T in 308 Win at the 100 yard range this afternoon.  Only took me 10 bullets to get it zeroed in after some issues with bore sighting it, but its a tack driver now.  I was able to get sub-MOA shots several times and it held zero very well.  Overall I put about 60 rounds through it and no issues whatsoever.  I will come back to update after I've put a few hundred down range.

For the price, this is an amazing scope.  If it holds up, this scope will be worth five times it's cost (I bought it for ~100 bucks).  The rings that come with it seem to be of a solid build and gave me no issue.  The crosshair is very nice, mil-dots are very useful if a bit weird to learn how to use (there is a formula you have to follow to use them properly). The illumination feature of the crosshair itself seems a bit gimmicky, but looks cool and would be useful I'm sure for low light shooting. Lock rings for Windage/Elevation knobs are super useful and work really well.  It's also very nice that I can re-zero the knobs if I so need.

It looks great, performs great, and won't break your wallet in the least.  You cannot go wrong with this scope.

My Husband loves this thing and so do me and my daughter we have not experienced problem and have been blown away with all the things this scope will do . Watching our recorded range trips has been a great learning tool for me and my daughter and the night vision is awesome for watching wildlife out on the farm my daughter got so excited the other night when we spotted an owl up in a tree . One thing i was suprised by is how easy this thing is for me to use LADIES IF YOU CAN USE YOUR PHONE YOU CAN USE THIS SCOPE ITS THAT EASY
In short our whole family loves this scope and changed the way we shoot and teach our daughter we bought it for coyotes but it has became one of our favorite things for our family

I was originally going to get the Vortex since that's all I have ever put on my rifles, but I ran across some people talking about this scope on some gun forums. After watching some YouTube reviews I decided to go with the Argos BTR.  I absolutely love it, the money i saved on the scope went into buying a better barrel. The reticle is sharp and the image is crystal clear. (even at 24X).  Eye relief is better than expected and the scope holds it's zero even after riding in the back of a Polaris Ranger all day riding in rough terrain. I have this on a 6.5 Grendel and took it to 100, 200, 500, 1,031Yards, and then back to 500 and 100 and the scope never went off zero. It also looks incredible on the rifle. The illumination is perfect for the morning and evening. Almost makes shooting too easy!!! Customer service is very friendly and answered my question about scope ring torque and some others about understanding calculations. Definitely will be buying another Athlon when I purchase an RPR 6.5 Creedmoor, Most likely the ARES.
Honestly if you are back and fourth on purchasing this scope, you need to just pull the trigger and do it. You will  LOVE IT.

I this scope because Nikon has always been very good well calabrate scopes for my use. I did get the Nikon one piece mount to go with it because I figured the scope height was designed to work with the hold over marks of the scope. After mounting and leveling the scope I zeroed it first at 100 yards,  then shot it at 200 and 300 yards to see how close the holdover marks were to reality. They are very close. Maby an inch off on the low side at 300 yards. After I checked the holdover marks I repeated the shots using the turrets . I used a balistic calculator to shoot out to 400 yards from 100 yards. The shots were all dead on. This is a well done scope that calibrated better than many I have that cost three times as much, and can pass the box test with flying colors. I highly recommend this scope for anyone who is looking to extend the range of there AR.

I bought this scope over a year ago for my marlin .22. Installation was easy, and sighting in was simple. The scope has amazing clarity and you definitely will not be dissapointed in optical quality.
The build is also great, adjustments are simple and can be done with one hand twisting the turret (no tools required).
The zoom is sturdy and will not move unless you want it to.
The adjustable objective (distance adjustments at the front end of the scope) is also great and very easy to adjust while still being plenty steady enough to stay put when it's supposed to. Also has a +\- adjustment to customize to everyone's own eye.
I sighted my scope in once last year and it stayed perfect for a good few months. Haven't shot it in about 6 months and just got it back out and had to re sight it in. Probably took about 10 shots or so with minor adjustments.
The only thing I'm not sure about are the mounting rings. I'm considering buying a higher end set just to see if it effects accuracy. I'm a pretty steady shot and I can get about 3-4 inch groupings at 100 yards. Don't know if new rings will effect that or not but it's worth a shot!
If I could go back I would definitely buy this scope again. I beleive it's the best scope on the market for the price, it looks awesome and outperforms all of my friends 50-80 dollar scopes in every way.
They call themselves idiots for not getting one of these Simmons for cheaper than the scopes they currently have.
I would definitely recommend this rifle scope.

Outstanding scope. I've taken it twice to the range to sight it in. It's amazingly clear. The only drawback that I see is the vertical lines on the DOA system. You can barely see them unless you look hard.for them. Other than that it's dead on accurate.

This scope is worth every penny and more. I have had many scopes and i would say this would be worth about 500. all my buddies kick them selves in the butt for wasting so much money..

This scope has the quality of a high priced scope for a fraction of the cost. Once tuned in, it is dead on accurate. The laser is an added plus. I am just shocked at the quality metal construction with very little plastic. I see this lasting a very long time!

I am so happy i bought this., I do competition shooting , 100-300 yards. I have bad vision and have to have a good spotting scope, I can't afford the $1500.00 version, this is the best I could get for the money, very sharp very well made, you can attach a camera.
