Athlon Neos HMR 3-9x40 Rifle Scope Built for Rimfire Versatility and Practical .22 Holdovers
The Athlon Neos HMR 3-9x40 Rifle Scope is built for rimfire shooters who want a purpose-driven BDC22 reticle, dependable field performance, and a familiar hunting magnification range. It is a strong fit for .22 LR rifles, small game hunting, and shooters who want useful holdover references in a simple optic.
This model combines fully multi-coated lenses, a BDC22 SFP MOA reticle, and a fixed 100-yard parallax setting to keep operation straightforward in the field. With its capped turrets and nitrogen-purged one-piece tube, it is a practical rimfire optic for shooters who want more cartridge-specific utility than a basic center reticle offers.
