Athlon Neos HMR 3-9x50mm Illuminated BDC500 Riflescope

Fifty millimeters of front glass on a 3-9x is a deliberate choice: more light at the edges of legal shooting hours and a brighter sight picture at 9x when you are stretched out along a field edge. The Neos HMR 3-9x50 runs a second focal plane BDC500 reticle with illumination, so the hash marks keep the same visual size through the zoom range and the center stays readable against dark timber.

The BDC500 holdovers are laid out for common centerfire loads, so once your zero is confirmed you can hold instead of dial. Adjustments are in MOA, the tube is nitrogen purged and sealed against water and fog, and the body is built around a one piece aluminum tube that takes recoil without walking. It is a practical deer scope with enough top end for the occasional long poke and enough field at 3x to work in close cover.
