Hello Everyone,

The Athlon Ares BTR 4.5-27x deal ends on Monday. We've got plenty available and can get more in short order.

We ship these with my carbon fiber lever and billet scope level installed, at no extra charge. Shipping is also free. Please note these have been WAY hotter than I expected, I'm wiped out of billet 30mm levels...scopes are shipping with a carbon fiber level and a voucher for a level when we get our next batch done. Probably 4-5 weeks until they're back from anodization and assembled.

MK Machining Ares Combo

Already set on optics? I'm shipping a free level (black, FDE, or carbon fiber) with the purchase of a billet level. Rail mounted, 34mm, 35mm, and 36mm are in stock. 30mm you are welcome to backorder. You will really like these levels, they're comparable to say an Accuracy first at a much lower price. Super easy install, very slim, plenty sensitive, and doesn't stick out past your turrets.

Hello MK machining, I purchased the Ares BTR with bubble level and throw lever from you a week ago loved the package deal bubble level and throw lever a very nice job well done I will order them for my other scopes. My question is the turrets are horrible no audible sound what so ever and Detent you can barely feel a click I have three other Athlon scopes witch I love but this scopes turrets are not what I expected. I’ve been really happy with Athlon product witch is why I converted all my scopes to Athlon but know with the new scope I’m disappointed can you point me in the right direction for a fix. And for all those out there MK Machining bubble level and throw lever are very nice great job I would recommend.

I don’t have one, but if I remember correctly this article (https://www.snipershide.com/athlon-...1k-ffp-long-range-scope-review-by-bigjimfish/) says you can remove the o-ring for a different turret feel.
 
Turret fix was posted above! That rifle is a Rem 700 in my bullpup chassis. If you blow up an action under your face or in front of it I think you'll have a bad day either way.
 
Also would like to know info on backorder. It showed "In stock (can be backordered)" for me so ordered. Then after it went through noticed the invoice said backordered. Site still shows "In stock (can be backordered)". Is it in stock or backordered or what? If backordered what is the lead time?

Thanks

You might have ordered literally at the same time as someone else if it said in stock then your invoice said backordered.

Literally just got in 75 more scopes from Athlon, they were supposed to show up earlier this week. Anyways these will satisfy all backorders, and shipping has more been limited on just how fast we can set up and pack everything anyway :)

@Tyler Kemp Received my 2 scopes a few days ago. Everything looks good and fastest "backorder" I have received to date. Just wondering about the billet levels that will be provided when available. What is ETA on getting them? Do you guys have a list of who to send to and will send out once available?

Thanks
ben
 
Told ya guys we get stuff from Athlon fast ;)

For backordered levels, please contact us in about a month. I'm working on my biggest batch so far, and a fancy fixture but it will take a bit of time to get nailed down. Hopefully this will allow us to make more levels, faster than ever.

Shot you an email but figured I would bug you in every which way I can... JK. Actually just kinda a reminder for others as well... Have the billet levels for the orders been produced and ready?

Thanks

We have probably 90% of the backorders fulfilled, and I have another batch of levels that will be finishing up shortly. Email is the best way to keep track of everything, as far as our shipping program is concerned the package was shipped.
