This is my third Athlon riflescope and like the first two is a lot of bang for the buck. The overall look and feel is one of quality. The controls operate smoothly and the optics are very good. That said, there is room for improvement. First, the reticle works at 15x but there is no 15x on the power ring only 16x. I realize it's only 1x difference, but for shooting at long range it can make a difference. The other complaint is the lack of a sun shade. One should be included or at least available as an accessory. Other than that this is a very nice scope

The 1" tube is the only issue I have with the 4-20×50 Argos. I own 2 6-30×56 AHMR1 scopes and I like them alot. The 4-20 tracks very well and returns to zero every time. Despite the inch tube it seems to pull enough light even on overcast days and near dusk. I mounted the 4-20 on a .243 Winchester 1:8 twist and it's a perfect pair out to 800 yds. Fine tune the Paralax while looking through the scope and it works great.
