Shooting small groups from a bench, or chasing X's in F-Class, comes down to fine clicks and a fine aiming point. The Athlon Argos BTR GEN3 10-40x56 ABLR4 SFP MOA brings 1/8 MOA clicks, 40x magnification and the ABLR4 reticle's 0.016 MOA lines around a 0.09 MOA floating dot, a reticle designed for benchrest and F-Class shooting.


Key Features
  • 1/8 MOA clicks. Each click is 0.125 MOA, so 8 clicks move the point of impact one inch at 100 yards, half the movement of a 0.25 MOA click. A turn is 12 MOA, and each turret has 45 MOA of total travel. The zero stop works on elevation only; the windage knob has none.
  • ABLR4 reticle. The 0.016 MOA lines are made for precise aiming at long range, especially on small targets, around a non-illuminated floating dot 0.09 MOA thick. Marks every 0.5 MOA run up, down and sideways from the dot for wind and lead holds, numbered to 10 MOA left, right and below.
  • Second focal plane. The reticle stays the same size as you zoom, so its subtensions are valid only at 40x: hold off the marks at 40x, or dial.
  • Parallax from 10 yards. Side focus runs from 10 yards to infinity.
  • Built for weather. Lenses are advanced fully multi-coated with an XPL outer coating. The one-piece 30 mm aircraft-grade aluminum tube is purged with argon rather than nitrogen for better fog proofing, and it is rated waterproof, fog proof and shockproof.

Ideal For
  • Benchrest and F-Class shooters. It is built for both, and for long-range shooting in general.
  • Shooters who would rather hold at any magnification. The Argos BTR GEN3 8-34x56 APLR11 puts its reticle in the first focal plane, with 0.25 MOA clicks, and costs less.
  • More magnification. The Ares ETR GEN2 UHD 15-60x56 keeps 1/8 MOA clicks and adds a 60x top end, UHD glass and 56 MOA of travel, at 38.4 oz against 31.8.

Accessories & Compatibility
  • Rings. The 30 mm tube takes 30 mm scope rings.
  • Elevation and bases. The reticle comes centered from the factory, so on a flat base about half of the 45 MOA lies above your zero. For more, Athlon recommends an offset 20+ MOA scope rail.
