Indeed, I was still able to shoot five-shot single-hole groups at this setting.Quality of glass is paramount in any scope, and the glass used here is extremely good value for money, allowing plenty of light transmission in a variety of lighting conditions, as well as a truly crisp sight picture.When testing the Talos at 30 yards, my usual zero distance, I found the crosshairs were thick enough to completely cover a .177 pellet hole at the full 14x magnification, but there was nevertheless still enough fidelity to shoot precisely at high-mag.But I wasn’t unduly concerned by this. This involved maintaining a constant point of aim throughout, taking an initial shot, adjusting up by 20 clicks and firing a shot, adjusting right by 20 clicks and taking a third shot, adjusting down by 20 and taking a fourth, then dialling left by 20 and taking a fifth and final shot.And those features begin with Athlon’s long-winded APLR2 FFP IR MIL – a reticle that has a floating crosshair, which is helpful for bracketing targets, with 0.2 milliradian increments all the way out to 9 mils on each of the stadia.I was happy enough with that. But when turned down to 7x mag, the image was not only clear, but I found I could easily focus at a shorter-than-expected eight yards.I’d been made aware of some criticism of this scope from centrefire shooters who like to dial in their shots – adjusting the windage and elevation settings rather than using holdover or holdunder and holding off for wind. That goes for parallax too: Athlon says the Talos will parallax down to 10 yards, but doesn’t say at what magnification – the image will look crisper at shorter distances with a lower mag setting. Very good glass and great focus from edge to edge. was going to get it from Nikon themselves but the funny thing is they don’t do pay pal. I spent yesterday shooting my FWB 124 and that gun is just plain violent. But.you get what you pay for ?You must be logged in to reply to this topic.Sorry to hear you had a problem. Like Achilles, Talos’s only weakness was his ankle. But anyways looks like they are on trying to solve the problems promptly and I like the fact that there is a real person on the line that can actually take action.
Nikons are great , I just need a short scope …Look at a FWB 300 and you will see the issueSounds good. First let me say … I found this optic among a bunch of bargain priced Chinese scopes. The whole point of an FFP scope is to let you use the same holdover/holdunder points, regardless of your magnification setting, not to dial in shots.Athlon Optics is a US company that’s not that well known here in the UK, but that could all change thanks to the Talos BTR – a sight that’s rated for airgun use, has a reticle in the first focal plane, and is promoted by Athlon as being an affordable rifle scope option.But while the scope can be used at this distance at both ends of its 4-14x magnification range, the sweet spot is really anywhere between 7x and 12x for most ‘normal’ shooting applications.They claimed the Talos – an otherwise very well made scope – would not make a perfect return to zero. Not trying to highjack your thread here either. If the scope elevation knob is at 12 o’clock then the top of reticle is at 1 o’clock. The gun has been deadly accurate, but this year my groups have opened up a bit. Athlon made a believer outta my one eyed ass.” HEY JOE” Pulled the trigger on that Nikon 5-20 by 44 scope. I’ll see later this month how it goes and will report back.Well quick update ….Athlon reached out to me first thing this am and is sending me a NEW scope out today …And I will return mine when new one is received . I put this to the test by ‘shooting the box’. That’s an awful lot to pack into any telescopic sight, let alone one retailing for £299.In practice, while my targets were certainly shootable at 14x mag at 10 yards, the image was blurry. Putting it on the FWB 300 was defiantly the acid test. It didn’t – that last shot was off by one click. I have an Athlon Argos on order with OpticsPlanet since March and anxiously waiting to see how your issue is resolved….is it a lemon….or a bad scope from the start?I talked to Jason and he said that they check them when they get them…could be something happened during shipping.
But I work in Quality Control at my job and realize any thing can happen . Absolutely I would and it WILL be what I buy for my next Airgun . I’ll be putting it on a PCP though. This is a flexible scope that can be used for a variety of short- to long-range applications.This means the reticle appears small at low magnification, and large at high power. Enough to end up buying it myself. This can be off-putting for some shooters, and does take some getting used to.At the same range, with the magnification turned down to 4x, I could just about see a pellet hole – and could also just about see the crosshairs well enough to aim. Athlon Talos 4-16×40 SFP Mildot Review New to the scene, and getting attention is another scope company by the name of Athlon. so i perused optics planet.
