First, I want to apologize for my account getting hacked the other day. What really sucks is that I do have this scope that I need to sell…..this ad is cross posted on other forums only by me. When you pay me by PayPal, you will know it because my PayPal is very similar to my username here.

….back to selling something…..I've decided this one has to go. The current rifles all have optics. No reason to hold on to a spare.

WTS: (OH) Athlon Optics Ares BTR Gen 2 Scope -$500 shipped tracked/insured to the lower 48
2.5-15x50
APLR3 FFP illuminated reticle LINK
Side parallax knob
Warranty from their website "Lifetime Transferrable Warranty" "Athlon guarantees to repair or replace your product if damaged through normal use. No charge; No receipt; No Registration required."

I looked through this thing. Optics are good, IMO. Turrets are good. It is a quality optic. I'm calling it used. I looked through it. I compared it to some other scopes I had. Then I sold the rifle I planned to mount it to….I thought I would build something else for it, but I'm looking to build a heavier rifle instead.

I'm pretty open to payment methods, Zelle, paypal(your fee, clear funds), money order….I will share my cell phone number and communicate with you by phone or text as you want.

With the issues you describe, it would go a long way to post a pic of the scope with your username, asking price, and date written on a sheet of paper in the pic to prove possession of the item.

Honestly, I feel pretty hands-off your ad without it..

I had that from when I started. I can update with tomorrow's date and the actual scope in it….I'm heading to sleep now.
…..or you could pm me and I'll give you my number.

….or I could direct you to a person on here who has bought or traded with me. I'm really just trying to be up front about it. I could have run from it, deleted posts, etc, but it was a hack. I cannot stop that.

I hunted with one of these this year and I was happy with it. I have not taken it out past 600 yards yet but will shortly. It tracked well. I went with it over the ETR due to the weight savings. I'm not getting any younger, the mountains seem to be getting steeper, and the air thinner. Good luck with your sale.
