  • Wonderful Scope.
Style: MIL DOT
I originally purchased the Vortex Crossfire 2 3-9x40 for the same price as this Athlon. Thing is this Athlon leaves that Vortex sitting in the dust at the same price. I was not impressed in the least with the Vortex. The turrets sucked. Flat out sucked, in that they were super mushy and inaudible clicks. Specially the elevation turret. The one thing I was impressed with on the Vortex was the eye relief, it was very forgiving. The Athlon, very nice turrets, you can both feel and hear them and know exactly where you are without even looking at them. The glass is very clear @ this price point and beyond. The Parallax adj at this price point is phenomenal to say the least. Yes it is a little stiff to turn but that's a great feature and NOT a downside in my eyes on a hunting scope. Would not want to rub it on a tree and turn it. The magnification adjustment is not as stiff as the parallax but feels perfect for me. I have not tracked the turrets a lot but I did do a simple 15 click box test and it returned to zero every time for 3-4 times. Overall the scope is built like a tank and I am very happy with it. ... show more

  • Great glass, nice features- awesome price!
Style: MIL DOT
I can’t think of a better scope for the money. It’s not uncommon for the optics to approach or even exceed the price of what you are mounting it on now days. I do own two scopes that are better than this one, at a similar size and magnification but I also paid WAY more for them- this one is more than adequate with coated lenses and a super clear and crisp view. It took me a short time to sight in, and holds zero well. The “tracking” when you turn the turrets x number of clicks up, down, left, or right is good but off about a 1/4 mil at 50 yards.....which in my opinion is OUTSTANDING for a scope in this price range and I have seen worse for more expensive scopes made by Luepold and Vortex- albeit they were older models but still.... The removal option on the turrets to allow you to zero the shots and set the point of impact at a given distance, then place the dials on the turrets to read “zero” is nice! Side focus on a scope at less than $300, with lenses this clear, and a mildot reticule is hard to find. I would definitely recommend this scope to anyone looking for a clear view at a great price, that also offers a few other nice features.....A+ ... show more

  • Fantastic Value
Style: CENTER X
The 40 to bump up from the Neos line is absolutely worth it. The glass is clear and the 4x zoom range gives it a nice range of utility. I personally think the Talos line is Athlon's best value for the money. These Talos have good eye relief, our very clear, and have a side parallax adjustment.

  • Great value
Style: MIL DOT
I’d never heard of Athlon but after watching a YouTube review I gave it a try. Really outstanding scope for the money and it is standing up well on my spring air rifle which is notorious for tearing up the toughest of scopes!

  • Overall pretty good for beginners but tracking a little off
Style: MIL DOT
Pretty good for the money... Very crisp sounding turrets, can zero, pretty clear glass... The difference with this and a high end glass is the tracking... Change elevation and reticle starts to drift somewhat right or left at high moa Change windage and reticle drifts somewhat up or down...

  • Received a used ordisplay model scope with slight damage.
Style: MIL DOT
Should never be any damage the turret slot on a new scope. The scope appeared to be newly packaged so it is difficult to tell when the damage occurred. I have never seen damage like this on new scopes, so possibly this is refurbished. I will shoot with it this weekend to determine if it has issues and possibly return it. ... show more

  • Replacement received
Style: BDC 600 IR
First of all I really love Athlon Scopes. This won't stop me from ordering again. It looks as if I may have received somebody else's return missing the battery the booklet was not in the package and rubber bands just laying in the box and also would not focus at long range. A replacement and return has already been initiated. UPDATE.... New scope received and this one is a brand new one NOT someone's return. I really like Athlon Scopes this scope gets 5 stars............. ... show more

  • Great scope
Style: CENTER X
In this price range, I really doubt you could find anything better! Clear glass, very good light transmission, precise adjustments, tracks well, just a great all-around scope! I actually like it better than the Vortex Crossfire II it replaced. The only thing missing is the "accurange" hatch marks, but I didn't really use them on my 17 WSM "walking rifle" anyway. I seldom get shots beyond 200 yards with it, and the WSM shoots so flat out to that range it's easy to "guestimate" holdover. I'm going to buy more Athlon optics for sure! ... show more
