The Athlon Neos Rifle Scope 3-9×40 (brand part no. 216002) gives budget-minded hunters an illuminated reticle option without stepping up to a premium price tag. Housed in a 1-inch tube, this second focal plane scope carries the BDC 500 IR reticle, giving you holdover reference points for shots at extended range along with the option to illuminate the reticle for use in low light. Capped elevation and windage turrets resist accidental movement in the field, fully multi-coated lenses keep the image bright, and the waterproof, fog-proof build stands up to wet mornings in the stand.
