  • Great scope for price and features.
Style: BDC 600 IR
So far this scope has proven itself. Bought 2 Athlon Talos 4-16x40 scopes with the intent on putting one on a .223 and the other on a .308, however I just purchased a 35 Whelen and mounted one on it and the other on the .308. So far I am happy with both. I have only ran 20 rounds through each so far, but seems to holding up well with the recoil on both. The glass is great and the illuminated reticle and side parralax adjustments are a plus. After going into a store and looking through both an Athlon scope and a Vortex scope, I decided to go with the Athlon. IMO, there wasn't much difference between the two and the added bells and whistles of the Athlon sold me. Just my 2 cents. ... show more

  • excellent start
Style: MIL DOT
Packaged nice; fairly comprehensive owner's manual, construction seems tight and solid, metal turret caps work great. Adjustments were easy. Very distinct clicks w no play in between and recticles respond very evenly. The "zero" function works great but is still about as tedious to set as with any other scope. I keep mine just about permanently at 14X and the field is very clear, focused, bright, no halos or fringing. Eye relief is perfect for my Howa 1500 with room to spare either way. I'm using it only at the range in a 223 with a heavy barrel, so I don't suppose I'll be putting its durability to recoil or exposure to weather and hunting to the test. I bought it almost exclusively for the magnification and the reviews. After 3 trips to the range and about 250 rds, none of the adjustments have slipped. It's sighted exactly where i left off from the last trip. Lovin' this scope so far. ... show more

  • Lots of scope for the money
Style: MIL DOT
Good scope for the money. Purchased this because it focused down to 15yds as it went on to an air rifle. No questions asked warranty and good reviews all over the net. I'm happy.

  • Great scope

Use this for a 50yd indoor .22 match. So far I'm very pleased with it

  • Not as good as the Neos
Style: MIL DOT
Optics are clear and the reticle very fine. The brightness and clarity are lacking though. The turrets are a little mushy. They say this scope is good for low light conditions. I say not. In shadow or foliage you lose the reticle. I have a Neos scope with duplex reticle that is much brighter and the turrets are much better. I paid fifty dollars more to get the 16 power but gave up the clarity and brightness, not a bargain. I have 3 other Athlon scopes and really like them this one not so much. Wouldn’t buy again ... show more

  • Some people lie about products
Style: BDC 600 IR
It's not the product I dislike it's people that say things that they know nothing about. Like reticle falling off .lol that's impossible with athlon rifle scopes as the reticle is etched into the glass so please make truthfull comments!

  • We sent all three back!
Style: MIL DOT
For reference, I currently own and happily use scopes from many different manufacturers, with models varying greatly in price. I have $40 scopes that work very well for their intended purpose, I have some high end Leupold and Nightforce scopes that are amazing in every way, and I have a lot of scopes in between the two ends of the spectrum. This was my first Athlon scope purchase. My expectations are in line with the product I am reviewing, and comes from a place of experience, owning several models from different manufacturers that compete directly with this scope. I ordered the 4-16 Talos, and my buddy ordered the 3-12 and 4-16 Talos models at the same time. All of the scopes arrive the same day, so he brought his over so we could sit down and compare them together. The windage and elevation turrets felt different on each scope. One had a great elevation turret; positive audible and tactile clicks with no play in the mechanism. The windage turret felt muted, mushy, and sloppy though. Another scope had mushy windage and elevation turrets. The turrets on the last scope both felt rough and inconsistent; it felt and sounded like there was sand in the mechanism. All three scopes had the same fit and finish issues, the most noticeable of which was the front objective ring that mates up to the bell of the scope body. Something in the machining process is not correct, as there was a visible offset for these parts. This is supposed to be a smooth, seamless transition, but instead there was a ridge caused by the ring on one side where it stuck out further than the bell of the scope...and there was a ridge on the opposite side where the bell stuck out further than the ring. The side focus knob on one of the 4-16 models went down to 10 yards, the other 4-16 only went down to 15 yards. The magnification ring and focus knob turned with a varying amount of force from one scope to the next. To be quite honest, we didn’t even take the scopes outside to look through them, let alone bother to mount them on the rifles they were intended for. The lack of quality control for these scopes was unacceptable for both of us, and we ended up sending all three back for a refund. Seriously- the $40 scope I mentioned I own in the beginning of this review was built with more attention to detail than all three of these Athlons were. We really wanted to like these scopes, but the lack of quality control and the inconsistencies between the three Talos scopes we ordered could not be ignored. ... show more

  • Will not zero
Style: MIL DOT
Could not zero this scope in. Bought 2. One would not go left and right enough. The other would not elevate to bore sighting. Has limitations on the top and side dials. Can only move a very minimal amount. The cover came apart just taking it off. Cheaply made in china.
