6-24x Magnification Range for Long-Range Versatility
The 6-24x magnification range of the Argos BTR Gen3 offers outstanding flexibility for long-range shooting applications. At 6x, the scope provides a wide field of view for target acquisition and situational awareness. At 24x, it delivers the high magnification needed for precise shot placement at extended distances.

APLR11 First Focal Plane Illuminated MOA Reticle
The Argos BTR Gen3 is equipped with the APLR11 reticle in the first focal plane. Because the reticle is located in the first focal plane, it scales proportionally with the magnification, allowing shooters to use the reticle’s MOA-based holdovers and ranging capabilities at any power setting. The APLR11 features a clean, intuitive design with precise MOA hash marks for elevation and windage corrections. The illuminated reticle offers multiple brightness settings, ensuring excellent visibility in low-light conditions while remaining crisp and usable in bright daylight.
50mm Objective Lens and Premium Optics
The 50mm objective lens maximizes light transmission, delivering bright and clear images even during dawn, dusk, and other low-light conditions. Athlon’s fully multi-coated lenses enhance contrast and resolution across the entire magnification range. The combination of quality glass and a large objective lens gives the Argos BTR Gen3 excellent low-light performance, making it a reliable choice for hunters and shooters who operate during the critical early morning and late evening hours.
