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.

Product Description
Here is What They Said
"What is truly remarkable is that Athlon is able to bring such a well-appointed spotting scope to the market for the cost of a mid-level binocular. For that outrageous value, the Argos HD wins this year’s Great Buy award."
Argos HD
We designed the Argos family of spotting scopes with good optical quality and ease of use in mind. The Argos spotting scope features our wind band fully multi-coated lenses and porro prisms with phased coating. They bring great clarity and brightness within the reach of all enthusiasts. The light-weight composite chassis protected by rubber armor is fog proof, waterproof, and filled with nitrogen gas to prevent internal fogging and promote better thermal stability. The product comes with a specially designed soft case allowing you to mount the spotting scope on a tripod and use it with the soft case on it all the time.
What is Your Adventure?

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!

Let me start by saying this is my first spotting scope. I'm a wildlife photographer, and the main reason I wanted to get a spotting scope was for birdwatching and "digiscoping."
Great build quality, OK optics for the price.
Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2024
At 20x, it is very clear and bright, but as soon as you start zooming in at 40x and 60x, the image becomes a little dark and very blurry. The build quality is excellent, and the eye relief at 60x is not that great, but for the price, it is not that bad.
I added a video digiscoping using my phone, which is a Redmi Note 10.
Overall, it's okay if you are on a budget, but I recommend saving more and going for a better scope, such as a Vortex Viper or ARES G2 UHD.
