Reviews & Ratings for Athlon Optics Neos 4-12x40mm Side Focus 1in Tube Rifle Scopes, Second Focal Plane — 27 reviews — Page 1

Since I have over 20 rifles I regularly compete and hunt with ,it's impactable to have an expensive scope on each rifle so I need something that meets my performance and price criteria. This scope will be placed on a backup Remington mod 700 which is a serviceable and capable gun just like this scope. I trust both this scope and this rifle. I find the Athelon Neos nicely meets my needs. I need good clear quality glass for my aging eyes with a side focal and a scope in this case, that can take the recoil of a 30 06. Since most of my big game hunting is in the northern US, long open shots of 300 + years are unheard of so the need for those upper levels of magnification are not needed nor wanted. It's generally a quick freehand snapshop at a running buck or blackie in heavy swamps or conifers. I have several of these Neos scopes and they work great on my expensive European competition rimfire rifles or on my bigger caliber centerfires .

glass not as clear as vortex but the parallax adjustment makes all the difference with tight groups. won't buy a scope without this feature in the future.

Still worth the money even with the tariffs, this is my third one in 4x12x40 also have a 6x18x44 all good. Never an issue with any of them. Optics Planet is very quick on the shipments and keep you informed.

What a great value. Bought this to go on my new Bergara BMR Carbon .22. After mounting it I went to the range to sight it in. 3 shots and I had it right on. Accurate when fully zoomed in or out. Held well thru the 500 rounds. I am very happy with this one!

I bought this for a Ruger heavy barrel 10/22. I have used several different scopes on this gun,including a vortex Rimfire. I've started shooting at an indoor range at 50 feet and needed something with a parallax adjustment. I decided to give Athlon a try. Boy was I pleasantly surprised. This scope performs way better than I imagined. The glass is clear, very little distortion on the edges at full magnification, consider me impressed. To get this quality I would have to spend 3 times the money on another brand. For what it's worth I will buy another in the future.

Nice scope, very clear optics. Illumination is very easily adjusted to conditions. Weather where I’m at prevents me from doing a “full test” but I will follow up with the field work soon. Shipping was very slow, took 7 days to get from Tennessee to Ohio via FedEx. It was transferred to USPS and took 3 more days to get delivered. Product was well packaged, no damage to package or contents. I would buy again.

The scope tracks great and is great for my muzzleloader

Mounted scope on Air Venturi Avenger X 25 cal. Scope is very clear and turrets are very precise feeling should be a good scope this my third one just like this one all have been good scopes.

This scope checked all the boxes for me. It has clear glass, illuminated reticle, 12x magnification, lightweight, side focus and holdover points for air rifle. Bonus points for price point. The cons - I would rather have mil-dot reticle and the IR button was too stiff for my liking.

I have this scope on a Talo 10-22,with Tally one piece rings. It only took 3 shots to sight it in. It is very clear at 12x. The focus knob is a bit stiff,but works well,and is the main reason I bought this scope. I shoot at 50 to 100 yards and need the focus feature. The only downside,is the weight,as it is heavy. I can overlook the weight,for the other features. Overall, a good scope,for the price.
