Athlon Neos HMR 3-9x50 Illuminated BDC500 SFP MOA Rifle Scope Built for Hunting Versatility and Better Low-Light Performance
The Athlon Neos HMR 3-9x50 Illuminated BDC500 SFP MOA riflescope is built for hunters who want a familiar 3-9x magnification range, a larger objective lens, and an illuminated BDC reticle for low-light conditions. It is a strong choice for deer hunting, blind hunting, and general-purpose rifles used across a wide range of field conditions.
This model features fully multi-coated lenses, a BDC500 SFP IR MOA reticle, and a fixed 100-yard parallax setting for simple operation and dependable performance. Its capped turrets, one-piece tube, and nitrogen-purged construction make it a practical hunting optic for shooters who want a bit more light transmission without overcomplicating the setup.
