Athlon Optics 6-18x44 Neos, BDC 500 Reticle, 1/4 MOA, 1" Tube

Great scope.

Not to much.

My side focus works great.

This scope is quality at an affordable price. I have it on my Benjamin Bull Dog .357 and it is working great. People mentioned that the adjustable objective knob is stiff but I disagree. It moves smooth without much effort.

Nothing.

Pyramid Air has a great return policy. I ordered the Centerpoint scope before this Athlon. The Centerpoint scope's adjustable objective went out of whack. Pyramid air gave me a complete refund with no questions asked. I am very happy with my Athlon scope and Pyramid Air's great customer service.

Feels good and well made. The glass is clear and easy to find my target. It was fairly easy to sight it in with various types of ammo, slugs, and different weights, etc. I'm pretty happy with this purchase.

The adjusting knobs are pretty stiff. Maybe include a side wheel to make it a bit more user friendly. Having said that I must point out that it is not a deal breaker for me. I still like it a lot.

I have it on my Air Venturi avenger and like it. Am thinking about getting a higher end something later on and plan to try it on whatever I buy and see how it does shooting out to further distances . Give it a try and see if it works out for you too.

Good glass for the money. Tried it at different settings and it did well on all of them. Took it from 6-16, will try out 17-18 later on when needed. Did not notice any distortion at those settings.

It would have been nice if it came with the side wheel to make adjustments easier.

Setting knobs are very stiff but functional, so not a deal breaker

Glass is nice, solid clicking turrets

Side focus and magnification dial super tight but loosening up the more I use it.

Great value for a higher magnification scope, Great hunting scope

So far so good. Seems to be good quality. I especially like the side focus and the reticle. I must have 25 airgun scopes and one thing I hate is a busy reticle. This one is simple and clean. Also: the lighted feature is better on this scope than most. It only lights the middle crosshairs and mildots...no tube glare which blinds you at night. This was the main reason I got it. Also: it only lights in red which is a big plus for me for it is the only useful color at night. Other scopes blind your point of aim with being too bright and unnecessary colors.

I don't think 10 different degrees of brightness on the reticle in necessary. When hunting you are going to use one of the dimmest anyway. The offset on/off switch is a little weird.

I do not think this is a magnum springer scope. I put it on a pcp and it will be fine but a gas ram or springer...I don't think so.

Clear optics, reasonable size and weight for the magnification, excellent price. In my opinion, a most-magnification-for-the-price best buy!

Can't really think of anything more to hope for in the price range.

With fingers crossed I returned a slightly less-expensive scope with similar magnification and features for credit toward the Athlon 6-18X, the returned scope a sore disappointment in multiple ways. In all the ways the returned scope was disappointing, the Athlon is very impressive and exceeded my hopes and expectations.
