Solid scope and great customer service - Athlon Optics Helos BTR Gen II 2-12x42mm 30mm Tube Rifle Scope, First Focal Plane

Solid scope have yet to take it out beyond 200 yards but it's easy to get behind and feels good to shoot.

When mounting it I used a plumb bob and spirit level and had some issues finding a level surface on the scope cap so was initially worried that the reticle might have been canted (as they didn't line up). Turns out the turret cap didn't have a level surface, ran a tall target test and it seemed to be fine.

It's a bit heavy which is not a surprise but something to keep in mind.

Recent releases (bought mine in 2025) seems to come with more 'goodies' and if you're didn't come with sunshade, flip caps, and throw lever you may want to reach out to Athlon customer service they were responsive and quick to provide a solution for me when I tried to install the throw lever and stripped the screws.
