    Athlons turned up today, big step up from the Leupolds I've been using. Old ones are 8x30 and new ones are 10x42.

    With the Athlons I'm seeing more detail at longer distances, brighter colors and the colors really pop.

    Very happy so far, will see how they go in the field.

    I had an Athlon Argos scope for a while and definitely rated it, shot a few deer using it at dialing ranges and found it always tracked accurately, the glass was more than adequate (I had nothing better to compare it to at the time but never felt it lacked clarity). They seem to be good value, definitely not swaro or Bx3 quality but also nowhere near the price either. They will 100% be a step up from your old Leupolds with a bigger objective and 10x mag. Hope you're happy with them, let us know how you get on ?
