Reviews & Ratings for Athlon Optics Neos 4-12x40mm Side Focus 1in Tube Rifle Scopes, Second Focal Plane — 32 reviews — Page 1

Real disappointed. The parallax adjustment is ineffective, making the scope totally worthless. Never again. Buy American, or don’t buy at all.

The quality of this thing blows me away. I haven’t got to shoot it yet but with a lifetime warranty, who could be worried?

It is all you could want in a cantilever scope mount.

This is my first experience with Athlon Optics and I am not disappointed. It's built sturdy with nice glass and is plenty good enough for my needs without breaking the bank.

Works great on my cz 457. improved my shooting, I think, because of th adjustable paralax.

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.
