Ares BTR 2.5-15x50. MIL/MIL. 30mm tube. Illuminated Christmas tree reticle. Great condition and tracks true. Awesome optic for hunting but I've used it to shoot my 223 bolt gun out to 1150y. Comes with sunshade and mk machining printed throw lever. Scope is in great condition. Object has been had grip tape on it its entire life so no scratches. $500 shipped CONUS

The SKU # for the gen 1 scope is 212002 and the SKU # for the gen 2 scope is 212004. That's printed on the end of the box the scope came in and can also be found on the bottom of the turret.

There isn't a problem to be fixed with the gen 1 scopes, Athlon simply decided to upgrade the turret mechanism. It's highly doubtful that they will exchange a gen 1 for a gen 2 if you just want the newer turret.

My point is if you send it in for any kind of warranty and they dont have any gen1 scopes they're going to send you a gen2 scope.
 
You can pull the o-ring out of the turret if it's too mushy for you. Not the perfect solution, but a solution nonetheless.

FYI, Midway has the gen-1 2.5-15x on sale for $399 shipped.
 
My point is that the SKU# is easy to find and the seller needs to post that information so potential buyers can make an informed decision. What Athlon may or may not do to exchange the scope is at most a secondary consideration. So, what exactly is for sale here?
