Looks like a winner. Here's one on sale on Amazon . That's only a hundred more than the cheap BSA ,Falcon or primary arms . Thanks for the review Knife . I'm in the process of finding them in Canada . Wish me luck.

Not much of a chance seeing that price up here unfortunately.https://www.amazon.ca/s/ref=nb_sb_noss/168-2103214-4088734?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=Athlon+214061+Argos+BTR+6-24+x+50+Direct+Dial+Side+Focus+Riflescope
I am thinking about the ATHLON MIDAS BTR 4.5-27x50 to try out, if its good it may very well be the best scope for air rifles
Yes I know I prefer 2nd focal plane, Where is the sale?
I am a Scope snob,and have been for many decades. My first Optic purchace was a pair of Cub Scout Binos when I was in the Cub Scouts. Now at 62 year of age, (ever notice that the "years of age" thing is only used for us Old Farts)? I have many years of trying, testing, owning, and using both everyday and fine optics from around the World. Ranging from cheap Chinese to the finest Germany, Austria and Switzerland have to offer. To say I have become jaded is an understatement! Too the point that in my eyes, the Most Popular Scope in Air Gunning,and yes, here on the Tag, is in my eyes, Pure, Unadulterated Junk. They were fine at their price point, but they somehow, the Manufacturer and The Dealer got the impression that they were producing a fine optic, and almost doubled their price overnight. With "absolutely" NO Justification in quality what so ever. ...Knife

You have a few years on me, but I too come from a generation that once knew how to recognize quality.Wrong time, place, and format to say more, but I have a question that I suspect you may be uniquely qualified to answer...How do SWFA scopes compare and where do they fit in on the price-to-quality scale?Loved your post Michael!Steve
