Athlon Scope Neos 4-12X40 - Bdc 22 Rimfire 1"
The Athlon Optics Neos 4-12X40 rimfire scope delivers solid glass and dependable performance for .22 shooters who won't compromise on quality but need to keep costs in check. Built around a one-piece aluminum tube with fully multi-coated optics, this 4-12x magnification scope handles the ballistics and distance curves of .22 rimfire ammunition with a BDC reticle calibrated specifically for that cartridge. Whether you're zeroing in on small game, working steel targets, or fine-tuning your marksmanship at the range, the Neos gives you the optical clarity and reticle precision to put rounds where they count.
The 1-inch tube diameter fits standard rings and mounts found on most rimfire platforms, making installation straightforward on your existing hardware. The fully multi-coated lens system maximizes light transmission, which matters when you're hunting in lower-light conditions or need sharp image clarity to spot small game at distance. This scope is built to handle the rigors of field use—the one-piece tube construction adds rigidity and helps maintain zero through recoil and rough handling.
Rimfire hunting and target shooting don't need to mean cutting corners on optics. The Neos 4-12X40 proves that a budget-conscious choice doesn't mean settling for second-rate glass or flimsy construction. It's the kind of scope that gets grabbed first when you reach for your .22 rifle, because it simply works.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this scope work on my .22 rimfire rifle?
Yes. The Neos 4-12X40 is designed for .22 rimfire firearms and comes with a reticle (BDC) calibrated specifically for .22 rimfire ballistics. The 1-inch tube fits standard scope rings used on most rimfire platforms.
What's the difference between this scope and a general-purpose hunting scope?
The BDC reticle on this Neos is engineered around .22 rimfire trajectory and impact points, so your holdover marks align with how .22 rounds actually fly downrange. That precision makes a real difference for accuracy at varying distances on a cartridge that behaves very differently from centerfire ammunition.
Is the tube truly one piece?
Yes. The Neos features a one-piece aluminum tube, which strengthens the scope structure and helps it hold zero through use and recoil.
Are the lenses coated?
Yes. The optics are fully multi-coated, which improves light transmission, reduces glare, and delivers a clearer, brighter sight picture in the field.
