Athlon talos vs Argos spotting scope

[Isaaccc11]

Has anyone ever had or compared the 2? Is the Argos worth the extra money?

I'm not really a spotting scope guy. However, I just picked up a Talos to see if it's something I'd use before spending big money on a nice one. So far, it's been pretty sweet. Here's some photos of some cow elk at 1 mile. It was on 60x mag and my phone was on 3x zoom. S20FE phone. IMO, it does the job better than expected but it struggles with mirage and its definitely not the best glass. I feel like anything over 500 yards on a clead day and i just cant get it to focus. I later realized its because the glass just isnt super clear. My Diamondback Tacticle rifle scope has 2-3x better glass. But, as you can tell, I have no problem seeing stuff at 1 mile. Hope this helps.

I forgot to mention, there is a guy on YouTube who has a video on each of them. He pushed me into the talos
