Backfire Shop has Athlon scopes!

Hey all! I’ve been putting in a ton of time doing a big review of the best long range capable, modern ffp scopes in reasonable price ranges.

The one that has really impressed me is the Athlon Helos. I have been working on Athlon to become a dealer and we finally have them in stock on BackfireShop.com

Not posting this as any kind of ad at all. Just want everyone to be aware because I think it’s legitimately an awesome scope for that price. It beat several scopes costing nearly double in our tests.

For Plus members, just use code PLUS and you’ll get it for 10% less than anywhere else online.

Their Spotting Scopes aren’t half bad either.

I got a couple of their spotting scopes and put them on the shop but I have limited experience with them. Like it so far.

I recently picked up the straight version of the 15-45x Ares G2 UHD spotting scope and I’m pretty impressed so far. Comparing it to my full size Vortex Razor spotter, the glass is very very close. Makes me glad I did some research before buying and saved a good chunk of money.

For that price range, how do you think it compares to Arken optics? I’ve seen tons of stuff on their optics being very good, especially for their price point. I dont have any personal experience with either. Was just curious if you could compare them, considering they both have a very similar price point.

I like Arken. They have very good industrial designs on the turrets which dresses them up. I am yet to see an Arken with top shelf glass but the functionality and price are good. I use them sometimes.

I really like my Helos 4-20 on my rifle!

You’ll love the scope. Really happy with the athlon stuff.
