    I have this scope and taken it to the range several times now, its mounted on a 6.5CM. For what I paid I have absolutely no complaints, yes there are some minor things mentioned in the OP, but at the price point its hard to beat. Funds were (are) tight right now so this allows me to shoot and get trigger time which is more important right now. Eventually it will work its way to the "backup" but for now it does the job just fine.

    As a side note, I also have one of the other models on a 6.8 AR that I am taking deer hunting this year. If it holds up to the weather and clanging around it might be my go to for hunting optics

    Figured I would let you guys know that I've put about 200 rds down range with my Argos and in all I'm very happy with it. The glass is very clear and bright, the reticle is very nice, and the parrallax is dead on accurate from what I can tell. The scope has no problem holding zero and tracking accurately, so its doing what it needs to do. The construction on the scope overall is good, my only gripe is like the OP my turrets leave more to be desired in the feel and noise department, but they work. Something else to note, I was talking with some people and Athlons warrantee is actually from what I can understand the same as Vortex, they do cover accidents like dropping them or running it over with a truck, which I guess is nice to know. Return time on warrantee work for those who have needed it seems to be about a week or less from the day you send it off. Also something to note for November and December these scopes are on sale for 315 bucks. I dont know how you can beat it, and I would buy it again even at the 370 normal price.

    Where did you find that discount? Google turned up nothing.

    I bought mine from Arron at A&J Sporting Goods on facebook. He is very knowledgeable, has great customer service, price matches, uses 2 day insured shipping and throws things in like zero stop washers and MK machining magnification throw rings. I was very happy with my purchase through him.
