Judging shots at 500+ yards or confirming a hit on steel requires magnification that binoculars can't deliver — but most spotting scopes under $500 give you a blurry, washed-out image past 40x. The Athlon Argos HD 20-60x85 45° delivers HD glass clarity and 60x magnification in a rugged, field-ready package built for hunters and shooters who need to see detail at distance without spending flagship spotting scope money.

Key Features

• HD glass with advanced fully multi-coated lenses delivers better light transmission with brighter, sharper images and true color reproduction across the full light spectrum
• Porro prism with phase-correction coating provides excellent depth perception and a wide, bright field of view — 102 feet at 1000 yards on 20x
• 85mm objective lens maximizes light gathering for a bright sight picture in low-light conditions when game is most active
• 20-60x zoom eyepiece lets you scan at wide field on 20x and zoom in for positive identification at 60x without moving the scope
• 45-degree angled eyepiece reduces neck strain during extended glassing sessions and makes it easy to share the view with others at different heights
• Argon purged, waterproof, and fogproof construction handles rain, snow, and temperature swings without internal fogging
• Lightweight composite chassis with rubber armor absorbs impacts and provides a secure grip in wet or cold conditions
• Extendable sunshade blocks stray light and protects the objective lens from precipitation and fingerprints
• Rotating mounting collar lets you rotate the scope body for a comfortable viewing angle on any tripod setup
• Twist-up eyecup adjusts for comfortable viewing with or without eyeglasses

Ideal For

• Hunters glassing for big game who need to identify animals at long range from a stationary position — the 85mm objective and HD glass deliver the clarity to pick out antler points and judge animals at distance
• Target and competition shooters who need to spot shot placement at 600+ yards — 60x magnification resolves bullet holes on paper at ranges where the naked eye sees nothing
• Wildlife observers and birders looking for a capable, weather-sealed optic with enough magnification and light gathering to identify species across open terrain or at the edge of treelines
