I this Deal worth it for this scope?

I was wanting to get an Athlon Helos BTR Gen 2 4.5-20x50 But then I stumbled upon this - Athlon Ares BTR GEN2 4.5-27x50mm DD SF 30mm APLR4 FFP IR MOA Riflescope 212011 For Sale | SHIPS FREE - EuroOptic

It seems like a killer deal. Any thoughts from the experts out there? How does this scope compare the to Athlon Helos BTR Gen 2 4.5-20x50

Thanks guys.

I think that’s a mistake on the price so I’d get it. MAP is $649

I think Ares is a good scope for the price. I have had an issue where I dialed and it didn’t move the reticle and then I dialed more and it “snapped” into place. I think most shooters wouldn’t recognize it happening but it definitely can lead to a miss. But it was only once that I saw it happen, but I haven’t gone back to that scope to see if it’d happen again.

Still, I think Ares is a good scope and worth the money. I don’t trust it as much as I trust the Element Titan, but I still really like it.
