The Athlon Talos 4-16×40 Mil-Dot SFP riflescope (Athlon part no. 215009) is an entry-level hunting and range scope with a classic mil-dot reticle. The Talos family is aimed at hunters who fill most of their tags in the low-light hours, and fully multi-coated lenses help in early-morning and late-evening light. A 4-16x range and 40mm objective cover everything from a close stand to a long shot. The sealed, gas-purged body is waterproof, and nitrogen purging helps keep it fog proof. For a bolt-action hunting rifle on a budget, this Athlon scope is a simple, capable pick.

Key Specifications

• Magnification is 4-16x, a wide zoom for close shots and longer ranges.
• The objective lens is 40 mm, which gathers light for dawn and dusk shooting.
• The main tube is 1 inch, which fits standard 1-inch rings and mounts.
• Focal plane is second focal plane (SFP), so the reticle stays the same apparent size as you zoom.
• The reticle is a Mil-Dot design, which gives ranging and holdover marks in mils.
• Turret clicks are 0.1 MIL, matching the mil-dot reticle for consistent corrections.
• Parallax adjusts from 10 yards, so the image can be cleaned up on close targets as well as distant ones.
• Eye relief is 3.8 to 3.35 inches, which leaves a comfortable margin behind the scope.
• The scope is 12.9 inches long, a standard length for a 1-inch hunting scope.
• The scope weighs 19.1 oz, light enough to keep a hunting rifle easy to carry.
