Reviews & Ratings for Athlon Optics Heras SPR 4-20x50mm 1in Tube Rifle Scope, SFP — 9 reviews — Page 1

Great value for a sub $400 scope. Clear glass (mild CA at max power) excellent reticle similar to NF NX8, well marked/decent clicks on tactile turrets, 70moa elevation even on 1” tube, includes flip caps, sunshade and extended zoom ring throw lever.

Great scope for the price. I own 3 of these and for the price I don’t think you can get much better

So far so good. Built like a rock. This scope has very clear glass and a great reticle. The turret clicks are well defined. On the base of both turrets are up/down or left/right arrows. You can move your eye up from the scope a little and verify your turning the turret the correct direction. So far there's nothing not to like.

Excellent scope. Better than expected! Would definitely recommend!

I did a bunch of research before buying this because I was looking for a 30mm tube scope. But all the reviews were so positive I decided to give a shot.
How does Athlon make a 1” tube look bigger than a 30mm? I have a PA SLX 4-16 that looks like viewing through a straw compared to the Heras. I absolutely love this scope! Seriously considering another one because it’s so good.

Perfect on my Ruger RPR .22lr.Side parallax is great at 10 yds.REally fine cross hairs..I can see the fly at 100 yds. with this cross hair..NICE!!!!!!

I now have purchased three of these scopes. I tested this scope next to a couple of the Vortex scope products, the Burris Signature HD and Burris Veracity PH scopes. I also owned the Leopold VX3 and VX5. I have to say that I have been impressed by the quality of this product! The glass is remarkably clear even during dawn and dusk operations. The tracking is right on target and the eye relief is excellent. The zoom is super smooth and the turrets are an easy-to-use feature that you would expect on a higher-end product. If you have been holding off because you think this product is "cheap" I can assure you that this scope will become a new go-to budget option. In my opinion, I will no longer buy $1500 glass when this product is as good as if not in many cases better. My only con...they do not offer illuminated reticles in the Heres model yet. I hope this will be coming soon! All I can say is..buy this scope from Optic Planets today and see for yourself!

Good scope for the money. I was able to stretch out a "budget" AR 6.5CM build to 1200yds using this scope. Running an 18" bbl I ran out of elevation adjustments at 1100yds, but was able to use the reticle to hold over and hit at 1200 (a 20 MOA base will solve this problem) My only complaint is that the zero stop isn't great. Glass is clear and turrets are repeatable. It did come with the wrong size throw lever and when I contacted Athlon they admitted they had an "issue at the factory" and to call back in a month or so and they would send me the correct one.
Overall, thumbs up for the price point.
