Questions & Answers
Are the graduations for bullet drop that are in the reticle specific for .22 LR? Is there a .17 HMR version or will the hash marks work for both cal? Expert Answer

The Athlon Optics 4-12 x 40 mm Rifle Scope uses the BDC 22 Rimfire Reticle which was designed specifically for rimfire. This
reticle allows shooters to compensate for bullet drop at extended shooting distances. When using a .22 LR with a muzzle velocity of approximately 1,250 feet per second, this reticle is designed to be zeroed at 50 yards, providing bullet drop compensation for 75, 100, 125 and 150 yards.

Perfect for a .22 by X, Verified Owner, November 18, 2025
Great magnification range for a .22 caliber, and it has an excellent rectile specifically calibrated for bullet drop on a rimfire. What sets this scope apart from others similar to it is the fact that it has a parallax adjustment that goes all the wa...

Product Info for Athlon Optics Neos 4-12x40mm 1in Tube Rifle Scopes, Second Focal Plane

You don't have to break the bank on a quality-made hunting tool like the Athlon Optics 4-12 x 40 mm Rifle Scope 1 in Second Focal Plane. This rifle scope has fully multicoated optics that effectively reduce the reflected light and increase light transmission, which gives you a brighter image than standard single-coated lenses. The Rifle Scope is made from one piece of aircraft-grade aluminum heat-treated, providing extra strength to the scope strength. The one-piece construction help keep moisture out of the optic. This is the ideal Rifle Scopes for those who want quality features while staying on budget.image
