Athlon Neos Rifle Scope 3-9x40 1" SFP BDC 500 IR MOA Illum Black

The Athlon Neos Rifle Scope 3-9x40 1" SFP BDC 500 IR MOA Illum Black delivers proven optical performance at a price point that doesn't sacrifice capability. This 3-9x magnification riflescope with a 40mm objective lens is engineered for hunters and shooters who demand dependable accuracy across varied ranges without premium-tier cost. The illuminated reticle, capped elevation and windage turrets, and fully multi-coated optics make this a capable platform for field applications from 100 to 500+ yards.

The 3-9x magnification range provides flexibility in mounting—suitable for intermediate to longer-range hunting where variable power becomes practical. The 1-inch tube diameter integrates with standard Weaver and Picatinny mounting systems found across modern rifle platforms. Fully multi-coated lens elements improve light transmission and reduce glare, a critical advantage in low-light dawn and dusk hunting conditions. The waterproof and fog-proof construction ensures the internal optics remain clear in wet weather and temperature extremes, while the illuminated reticle with MOA graduation supports precision shot placement at distance. Capped turrets protect windage and elevation adjustments from accidental shifts during transport and field use, a practical design choice for hard-use environments.

This scope serves hunters seeking a balance between optical quality and affordability, particularly those pursuing medium-game species at moderate distances. The 40mm objective and variable magnification suit centerfire rifle platforms across caliber ranges. Weighing 1.7 lbs with compact dimensions, it doesn't add significant weight or length to a standard rifle setup, maintaining handling characteristics during extended field applications. Budget-conscious shooters upgrading from fixed-power optics will recognize the value of variable magnification paired with illumination and multi-coated glass at this price tier.
