Athlon Neos HMR 3-9x40 Illuminated BDC500 SFP MOA Rifle Scope Built for Versatile Hunting and Everyday Field Use
The Athlon Neos HMR 3-9x40 Illuminated BDC500 SFP MOA riflescope is built for hunters who want a simple magnification range, dependable optical performance, and an illuminated BDC reticle for practical field shooting. It is a strong fit for deer rifles, predator setups, and general-purpose hunting where low-light visibility matters.
This model combines fully multi-coated lenses, a BDC500 SFP IR MOA reticle, and a fixed 100-yard parallax setting to keep operation simple in the field. Its capped turrets, nitrogen-purged construction, and one-piece tube make it a reliable option for hunters who want rugged performance without unnecessary complexity.
