Title: Side wheel for an Athlon Argos 6-24??
Post by: pbansen on March 07, 2017, 12:38:17 PM
Hi y'all -

I know there are a few people using the excellent Athlon Argos BTR 6-24 scope - has anyone found a side wheel that will fit it?

Could be a stock side wheel for another scope that just happens to bolt up to the Argos or one that someone manufactures specifically for the Argos.

    Try giving Jim a call, he will machine them to fit you scope. I own 3 of his wheels, good quality, and fast service.

Eric, from Scope Werks, made me one upon request. I see that he now has them listed on his website.

Little tough to swallow an $80-$100 custom side wheel when UTGs run less than $15. I wonder if you can modify a UTG to fit.

Like Wayde mentioned, you can modify a UTG sidewheel to fit.  I modified a 4" UTG sidewheel to fit my Argos BTR.  It just took about 10 minutes with a dremel tool to get it to fit nice and snug, with no rotational play.

Good Luck!
