Athlon Ares 15-45x65, less than a year old, only been on one hunt. This is an awesome scope for the money!
Glass and body are 100% perfect. Only flaw is the little tab on the objective lens cover that the lanyard attaches to is broken off, but athlon would likely replace it if you wanted. I had previously cut the string because the cover swings in the breeze while glassing.

Comes with everything it originally came with.

$450 tyd. Paypal F&F or add 3%. check my feedback.

Its the G1. ED glass, which Athlon states is the same glass they are putting in the new UHD models, just calling it something different.

Only difference between the 2 is the gen 2 has a removable eyepiece. I have a gen 1 and it is great for the money. Perfect backpacking spotter.

I’m not wanting to interfere here but thought you may find this helpful. I’m literally sitting behind a brand new swaro ats 65 and a brand new gen 2 ares 65. (I sent my gen one in because I broke it. Totally my fault, no spotter would have been ok. They just sent me a brand new gen 2 today). I paid for both scopes. It’s very bright out and both scopes are getting affected by the heat waves. I haven’t done side by side in low light. That will be in the morning. But I’m telling you as of right now, the Swaro better completely dominate in low light or it’s not worth the extra 2 grand. So I guess my point is these scopes are damn good for the money and if you get a deal like this you might want to jump on it.

Send me a text and I can share some video with you to get an idea. 720-248-7181.

Here are a couple pics. 1st pic is at 1200-1300 yards. Second pic is a little over 500. These were taken about 25-30 minutes before sunset
