Athlon Helos BTR 1-4.5x24 Service Rifle Competition LPVO

[MoondogIndustries]

The Athlon Helos BTR with a street price just under $400, is the one of the most affordable LPVO that offers a parallax focus. Most LPVO’s only offer 100-150yrds fixed focus optics. This Helos BTR was designed with the input of NRA High Power XTC “service rifle” class competition shooters. It has non-locking turret that track and are audible and tactile positive.

The reticle ATSR3 SFP reticle is unique to this Athlon model offering a crosshair-with-floating dot within its circle of death. The center circle and holdover T are illuminated for day-to-dusk competitions but is not red-dot bright. Against black competition bullseyes, a brighter illumination would be welcome. I wonder why Athlon doesn’t offer a parallax focus in their 1-10 Ares ETR? Regardless, the Helos BTR is an LPVO that offers competition grade features and high quality optics at a “budget” price for an Athlon.

Cool, another High power option in the lower price tier. That $3-$400 price range has typically been filled by Vortex PST/Viper or Hi-Lux.
