Reviews & Ratings for ADE Advanced Optics ProZoom 3-12x40mm Rifle Scope, 30mm Tube, Second Focal Plane — 22 reviews — Page 1

Very surprised this scope is amazing very well built and crystal clear and lifetime warranty and no product registration. I have other scopes Burris being one 500.00 + and it is just as clear. Have yet to mount as rifle is on order and will update with photos.

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.

Athlon scopes are the Best Buy for your money. This 3-12 is the fourth Athlon I've bought. Yes, these more bargain priced models are made in Chinay! So what they're worth three times what cost! The 2-12 is even better. The 8-34 was phenomenal!

These scopes are great for the budget minded. I have several different models. Each serves its purpose well for the price. Have zero complaints with this talos 3-12. Put it on a 200 yard gun and has been perfect for intended use. Had an issue with another athlon product (binos) and the warranty replaced, not repaired, with a new set within a weeks turn around.

This is a really nice scope for the money. It is mounted on a 10-22 target and it wrings out every bit of accuracy and is not too big or small for a rifle this size. The parallax adjustment is a bit stiff but not so much to be a problem and the power ring is about right. Most importantly the lenses are very clear and remain clear all settings.

I would highly recommend this scope, very clear, good illumination, great for the value

I have this mounted on Benjamin armada in .25 cal. Sighting in was a breeze, glass is clear with a crisp reticle. So far so good, like all my other Athlon scopes, I'm really pleased with them all.

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.

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+

I recently purchased this scope to mount on my Tikka t1x in .22lr. The glass is clear and the eye relief is great. I typically shoot this gun at 50 and 100 yards and I can see bullet holes easy at 12 power. After 2000 round it holds zero perfectly. The mildot reticle is great and very helpful for referencing the drop of the .22lr rounds. Parallax works great also. I have a few Vortex diamondback tactical rifle scopes and a couple other Athlon scopes and for the money spent I can say the Athlon scopes are better both in glass and overall quality of the scopes build construction. I know a lot of people that compare these two brand since they are close in price and in features but I can say that if your looking at both Id buy the Athlon. In my opinion it just nicer in every way and i mean in glass, tracking, parallax adjustment, turrets, and overall build construction. I hope this helps someone.
