Athlon Neos HMR 3-9x40 Rifle Scope Built for Straight-Wall Hunting and Better Low-Light Reticle Visibility
The Athlon Neos HMR 3-9x40 Rifle Scope is built for straight-wall cartridge hunters who want a practical magnification range, an illuminated BDC300 reticle, and dependable performance in the field. It is a strong fit for deer rifles, straight-wall hunting setups, and shooters who want a purpose-driven illuminated hunting optic.
This model combines fully multi-coated lenses, a BDC300 STRAIGHT-WALL SFP IR 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 delivers a practical balance of simplicity and low-light reticle visibility.
