Athlon Neos Rifle Scope 3-9x40 1" SFP BDC 22 RimFire MOA Non Illum. Black

The Athlon Neos Rifle Scope 3-9x40 1" SFP BDC 22 RimFire MOA Non Illuminated Black is a purpose-built rimfire optic designed for shooters who prioritize value without sacrificing optical quality or field-proven durability. Built by Athlon Optics, this 3-9x magnification scope delivers the optical clarity and reticle precision that rimfire hunters and precision shooters demand, whether engaging targets at 25 yards or stretching shots to extended rimfire distances.

The scope features a 40mm objective lens paired with a 1-inch tube diameter, a standard that ensures compatibility with most modern scope rings and mounts. The SFP (Second Focal Plane) configuration with BDC (Bullet Drop Compensator) reticle marked for .22 LR ballistics allows holdover corrections without dial manipulation—critical when rapid target transitions demand speed over dialing precision. The non-illuminated reticle maintains visibility across varied lighting conditions without battery dependency. Fully multi-coated optics maximize light transmission for edge-to-edge clarity, while the waterproof and fog-proof construction ensures performance in wet field conditions and temperature extremes typical of hunting seasons.

This rimfire scope serves hunters zeroing in on small game, precision .22 target shooters, and budget-conscious operators who refuse to compromise on optical performance. The capped elevation and windage turrets protect against accidental adjustments during transport and field use—a practical feature that prevents zero shifts during rough handling. At 1.5 pounds, the scope adds minimal weight to lightweight rimfire platforms, making it ideal for extended hunting sessions or training protocols where fatigue management matters.

The Neos line represents Athlon's commitment to delivering professional-grade optical coatings and construction at an entry-level price point. For rimfire shooters evaluating budget rimfire scopes or hunting rifle scopes without premium pricing, this 3-9x40 delivers the durability and optical performance expected from established optics brands while maintaining accessibility for serious hobbyists and hunters alike.
