Reviews & Ratings for Athlon Optics 8-34 x 56 mm Rifle Scope 30 mm First Focal Plane (FFP) — 10 reviews — Page 1

Attached this scope to a Ruger precision 556. And let me tell , I was highly impressed. Sighted in after 4 shots at 50yrds. The glass is very clear, and still clear at 100 yards at 28 x. The turrets turn audible and tight, and the pull up lock feature makes locking down the turret a snap. The only slight I can find on this scope is the eye box is a little tad small , but this is off set with great eye relief, you won’t be moving your head all over looking for a good sight picture. I’m no professional shooter but I do shot at least once or twice a week and for the money I’m more than happy and really impressed. The illumination I couldn’t see, but I was shooting in Florida bafternoon clear skies, didn’t need it, the moa crosshairs are perfect, FFp , my first scope to have this, took some getting used to, but at 100 I nailed sub moa 3 shot groups 4 timesstraight. I have this scope in Leupold one piece mount held perfect great buy from OP, like usual

It’s a clear scope very user friendly put together very well I would recommend it to anyone An have told my friends about it An a few of them are looking to purchase one for themselves An look forward to hunting with it .

I bought this for my wife to put on her .223 TC Compass. She said she couldn't see bullet holes at 100 ydd with my Leupold VX3 4.5-14×40. I have a Vortex Razor 4.5-27×56 and while not as nice it is a whole lot of scope for the money! The glass is a whiter light. Tracks great. Great scope for money and wife is happy as so am I as she didn't ask for mine.

I purchased 2 Athlon Helos scopes I have been very satisfied. It is not a $2000 scope but is is Avery good value for the money. I have mine on a 6.5 Creedmoor and it does fine . I shoot at 1000 yards and could not be happier

Very clear optics with a high quality clean factory assembly. Not heavy in weight so it is manageable in field applications. Though it was originally intended to be used on one of my 308’s I’m either going to purchase an addition unit or go through the effort of interchanging it with another rifle until I decide. All and all I’d recommend this brand.

Full disclosure- I did not mount this scope as I discovered it did not have the range of elevation that I needed on my platform for the distances I was going for. However, upon receipt I did open it up and inspect the item. Very clear glass even out to distances of several hundred yards both with and without the illumination. if it hadn't been for the elevation range, it would have been a great addition. I would recommend this scope to anyone shooting 1000 yards or less, both hunting and target.

Definitely becoming a Athlon fan. This is the 2nd Athlon scope I’ve purchased. It doesn’t have the amount of elevation some would like to have available, but suits my intended use. Very clear glass, like the holdover option, seems durable for hunting and range.

This scope is amazing it is clear at a mile easy. The reticle is excellent. I'm looking forward to finding one for shorter range to put on my 308 for dear hunting. I havent been to the range with this scope yet but am looking forward to it. I expect it to hold zero no problem as the scope is well built. I will repost if there is any problems. Thanks Athlon
