## Description

desertcart.com : Athlon Optics Argos HD 20-60x85 Spotting Scope - 45 Degree, Green/Black : Sports & Outdoors

Review: Just buy it! You’ll love it! - This is a great spotting scope! We’ve taken it on several excursions to Yellowstone, Grand Teton, and the Badlands. I would estimate you can see about a mile off with the scope (wildlife will be small at a mile, obviously!) If you want a phone mount for the eyepiece, which I highly recommend, be aware that the eyepiece on this scope is pretty wide. Most phone mounts won’t fit on the eyepiece well. Other than that, we like this scope a lot! It’s a heavy rig, so make sure you have a sturdy tripod with a good head. The scope case is a nice bonus for those (like us) who travel. We tuck it carefully in our carry-on suitcase and it travels fine. The display is pretty bright and clear. If you’re looking at things from far off, you will get wavy lines of heat. That’s unavoidable and it’s not the scope’s fault! Overall, I’d definitely recommend this scope. We’ve gotten a lot of enjoyment from it!
Review: Best bang for your buck - I recently received my Argos HD 20-60x85, and man, it's a game-changer! This thing blew me away, and I couldn't be happier with it. First off, it's built tough. Feels solid and well-made, yet it's surprisingly light and easy to carry around. Plus, the included case and tripod is super handy. In terms of value for money, this spotting scope is a winner. The performance and build quality you get for the price are unbeatable. Athlon Optics has really hit the mark with the Argos HD. As far as optics go, this thing blows my telescope out of the water. The 20-60x85 setup lets you get up close and personal with whatever you're looking at. I pointed it at a tower that’s just under 1,700 yards and the details were crisp and clear. The colors pop, and it stays bright even when it's not-so-sunny outside. These pictures were taken just before sunset. Note: The eye relief is pretty tight and I couldn't get my lens close enough to the eyepiece, so the picture of the tower is not a true representation of the real life picture, just wanted to show the clarity and magnification. Focusing is a piece of cake, and that adjustable eyepiece makes sure you get the perfect view. The focus wheel is smooth and precise, so you can zoom in on your target without any fuss. Another standout feature is the ruggedness of this scope. It's waterproof, fogproof, and seems like it’s built to withstand harsh weather conditions in the field. In a nutshell, the Argos HD 20-60x85 is a winner for me. It's got power, clarity, and toughness at a more than reasonable price. I plan to use it for long-range shooting and based on what I’ve seen so far, this is a perfect fit for me. I couldn't be happier with my purchase, and I highly recommend it to anyone in need of a high-quality spotting scope.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the minimum distance it can focus on? Is it 39.4'? Sorry for dumb question.**
A: You are correct. 39’ 4”. The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.

**Q: Does it come with a cover or case?**
A: Yes it came with a soft sided well made case the does a good job protecting the scope.

**Q: Is the lens HD?**
A: I don’t believe it is that it’s not necessary for the usage. I range out to 1000 yards. Excellent scope. Are you minimal distortion of the edges at high magnification. Well put together.

**Q: Does anyone recommend a certain tripod for this item.**
A: Tripod being an absolute must for a spotter to be usable at all! Cant be overstated as I learned this the hard way trying a cheap tripod that couldn't hold it steady enough to use without extreme frustration! Buy once cry once if your not seriously researching and purchasing a decent product in tripod land you WILL BE FRUSTRATED AND REPURCHASING so do some work ask a professional camera store or straight to the $200 vortex pods! I ended up in a vanguard alta 2,saved some dough and became happy owning this amazing spotter with tripod! Cambodian tripods that are bundled with the argos are only made to anger users

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ High quality glass/ optic view
*by M***E on June 30, 2021*

The objective is large and allows plenty of clarity at a wide view. I shoot a 22lr at 275 yards on steel target. I can see "splash" impacts when misses and definitely hits occur. Spotting for shooter is much easier and corrections are easier to call out. It's a large optic, but complaints from other reviewers don't hold water w/me. Worth the weight to carry if you want clarity.
