Reviews & Ratings for Athlon Optics Talos 4-16x40mm 1in Tube Rifle Scope, Seconad Focal Plane — 23 reviews — Page 1

Anthalon Talos 4-16 x 40 is the optic that will be perfect for every yard a 30-30 has got in it.

I am very happy with my new Athlon Talos, quality glass, sturdy build & great features. Looks great mounted and zeroing in went smoothly. Lots to like here at a very reasonable price, I would recommend to anyone in the market for a good set of optics!

This is my first Athelon scope. I have been very impressed with the quality and ease of operation of this optic. I especially enjoy the lighted crosshairs. I have not had the scope very long, but anticipate a good product life. A friend has used Avalon scopes on a number of rifles and is extremely satisfied.

I bought this exact model about 5 months ago and put it on an AR 15 in 17hmr for ground squirrel and rabbit shooting. It’s #1 feature is that the turrets track dead on�. Very precise. You click 1/4”, the bullet shifts 1/4”, every time. It’s a 40mm lens, so not the brightest, but decent. But it’s super precise. The turrets have a sharp click you can hear and feel in your fingers. I liked it so much I bought a 2nd one. I own 4 Athlon scopes total, and will keep buying this brand. You can’t beat the precision turrets for the price, and the glass is decent at this price point.

The glass is clear and the target illumination is really cool. The scope appears to hold its POI well. This review is necessarily preliminary and will be updated after some field use.

I have 4 of these scopes. 2 lighted and 2 non lighted. Have them on my 22 mag, 223 bolt action, 6.5 creedmore bolt action and a 308 bolt action. If you want to really dial a rifle in from 50 yards to 250 yards this scope can't be beat. I'm an older shooter with not the best eyes anymore. This scope makes it easy to put lead on target every time. Had many more expensive scopes in my life. This is my scope of choice.

Clear glass and no complaints just a solid budget optic. I liked the first one so much I bought 2 more. They sit on my .22 mag lever gun my AR and my bolt action .308. Great scope for the money. Holds zero very well and and I’m very happy with the quality.

So far I love the clarity. I would 100% put it against my similarly sized primary arms and Vortex scopes. Looks to be well built, however I have not yet had the opportunity to put many rounds down range with my 243 AR10

Seems to be well made, I would definitely put it up against my "other brand" 3-18x44, and it was 1/3 of the price. Very clear, mounted on an AR10 in 243 Win. Ill probably be getting one for my 6.5 Grendel AK before long.

I have been trying scopes, trying to find a nice 250yard, sharp shooter for my AR-15 with 1/7 twist 16” barrel 5.56 cal. I didn’t want a 50” scope on top of my AR & I refuse to spend more on my optics than I do my guns and so it’s been a challenge. This scope offers so much for the price point. I haven’t been to the range yet so more on that later. So far, Glass is clear, all controls work, however the illumination switch is quite choppy. I like resistance on my dials so they stay put, tolerances are tight and smooth (except for the reticle light dial). The Talos is a handsome looking scope and deserves better than a bikini cover, but if Athelon spent a few $ more making sure I have crystal clear, reliable glass at any time of day-any temperature- and it appears they have- I will look the other way on the covers. If the illumination switch doesn’t get any worse Ill let it slide too, but Athelon warranty will take care of it whenever I decide I’m ready. Overall a fantastic value,
