I bought this to go on a CZ 455 Tacticool rifle. Glass is very clear-really zooms in great! This is my first Athlon scope, but won’t be my last-great product at a great price! Thanks Optics Planet-the scope arrived on time and well protected.

Great scope for the $. Put it on a 17wsm and couldn’t be happier.

I put the scope on a 6.5cm. Bullet placement to 300 yds is pinpoint. This is my eighth athlon. Will buy again and again. Clarity and magnification is excellent to 400 yds drop where it stands.

This is a great scope for hunting as target sports

This is the scope that I chose for my Ruger Precision Rifle, I wanted an entry level scope to match the rifle. Unboxing the Athlon Optics, I was impressed at the level of packaging that this entry level scope came in, it was better than some of the higher-level optics that I have. Optics were better quality than expected, and there were not any issues with the optics that I could see from my initial inspection. Both the Elevation and Windage caps fit very well, and the turret adjustments were tight and had a tactile feel to them. The Parallax adjustment was nice and have a consistent feel. The magnification ring was great, it was tight and had a good feel - it was easily adjusted and there was not any sloppiness to it when turning. The illumination was a little distracting on the initial setting, but with the level of adjustments, it was easily remedied. The only con that I could find, was the clearness of the optics past the 16x magnification, although this was not a surprise for an entry level scope. Overall, this is my first scope from Athlon Optics but it will not be my last. Very good quality, and very usable for my needs.

Like i said, great scope for the price. The 50mm objective lens brings in a lot of light. The illuminated reticle makes all the difference in low light scenarios. I like that you can take the turrets off and set to zero. The only problem i have is when tightening down the top turret cap, if i tighten it down too much, it actually moves the turret. I just don't tighten it down too hard and its not a problem.

Very well-built scope. Scope is clear all the way up to 16 power then starts to get a little less clear. But after
some focus adjustment it clears up a little better on power ranges past 16 power. Scope is in a very good price range for 6-24x50.

I primarily use all Vortex scopes on my rifle but after seeing a review on Youtube comparing scopes at the $500.00 price point or less I was impressed when this scope was listed in the top 3 along with the Vortex Tactical. As I already have a a rifle paired up with the Vortex Tactical I decided to give this scope a try and paired it to a new Cascade XT in 308. It is a SFP scope and all of the features worked extremely well the windage and elevation turrets are very tactile and you feel every click. The scope was extremely bright and clear and the magnification range worked flawlessly and was good enough that I did not need to use my spotting scope. This scope paired to the rifle listed allowed me to shoot some impressive groups off of the bench using a rifle mounted bipod at 100 yards, one group measured 0.455 and a second group measured 0.796. So overall I am impressed and pleased with the scopes performance and looking forward to using the lighted reticle for early morning and late evening shooting.

This is one crazy clear scope. Recommended to me by a friend. He knows his stuff but I really wasn’t expecting such a nice piece for the price. I paired it with Vortex scope rings and put it on my beloved 30-30 Marlin. I’m literally losing my mind waiting for a day above 32 degrees and calm so I can go dial this sweet scope in at the range. It’s very clear and really lets in the light. Sooner or later, deer steaks will be on the menu.
