The scope brand you may have never heard of but you should check out… First thoughts on the Theos. Is it worth it?

I've decided to buy one next time I see them again on sale for under $2000 to compare it with the new $2450 black Vortex Razor Gen 3 and Sightron SVIII 5-40x56 for around the same price and prefer lighter weight scopes and tool less adjustable zero stop come on let's go!!!

Nightforce Atacr 7-35 mil-xt ret. For me, the NF and the Element are within $100 of each other, so with that in mind as far as glass quality what is your opinion between the 2 scopes? I do like some of the Element's features over the NF. @@utahpewpew

Thanks Boyd. I wish I researched this a little more before I picked up my second Nexus. I struggled on the 100 yard bench with only 20 power on the Nexus. Also, what are those red trays hanging in the background?

Try the Athlon Ares BTR Gen 2 4.5-27x50 currently on sale for under $600 delivered. You'll be pleasantly surprised how much better it is compared to the Nexus for such little money. If you end up not liking it there's free returns within 90 days so it's totally risk free to try. Image quality is clearer than the Nexus and tracking is dead nuts accurate and has even more total elevation travel and is lighter weight too by comparison. I'd put it up against many much higher priced Japan made scopes such as the Trijicon Tenmile, Delta Stryker, Sightron SIII, and the Zeiss V4 and Element Optics Nexus. I think it would even give the new Nexus Gen 2 a really good run for it's money as well. Only negative is they didn't include any lens covers nor sunshade which must be purchased separately. If you've ever owned a Midas Tac 6-24x50, which is pretty close optically compared to the Nexus, the Ares BTR Gen 2 is even clearer than that. I replaced all of my Tract Toric 4-20x50's with these Athlon Ares BTR Gen 2 scopes which were an improvement.

DISCONTINUED by the manufacturer according to Optics Planet website. Is Element Optics shutting down and no longer honoring their platinum lifetime warranty? What about all the other Theos customers who also need warranty replacements for their defective Theos scopes?
@pisserny5 ай бұрын
Its not Discontinued, optics planet worded that wrong on there website. They were not available from current importer so it was discontinued from them as importer. The new importer has them in stock and optics planet has not updated system. Warranty is still the same

Careful, they had a bit of teething issues requiring them to be sent in for warranty and in several cases more than once or twice and even three times within a year. Great if you get a good one but why take the risk when even the replacements may not be up to Zeiss standards?

Waste of money putting a 1000+ yard scope on a bb gun. It's way overkill. Those are designed for long range center fire rifles.

@@blackhawk2302 so why does the centerfire rifle scope have side focus that goes down to 10 yards, sometimes 7 yards? They don't do that stuff for the heck of it. Shooting a 1/4" dot at 50 yards with a "bb gun" or 10" steel at 1500. Its the same skillset.
