Athlon Optics 2-12x42 Helos BTR Reviews

Can't beat this optic for hunting/mid range for the price.

I have upwards of 10 of these on various rifles. They’ve become my go to for a general purpose optic from a 22 ARC to 7mm Mag. Optics are clear and bright, reticle will get most any cartridge past 1000 yards before every touching the excellent pop up turrets.

I was able to snag this optic during a flash sale at an amazing price. I will say the quality of the glass, crispness of the reticle and other features included (accessories) made me very satisfied. The optic feels very rugged and well made. My only complaint would be that the center point of the reticle is a circle (dot) that covers approx. 1 inch at 100 yards. This may make some precision work a little difficult when testing loads or accuracy. However, for a FFP option at the price available through Expert Voice, I would recommend this all day to someone who needs a solid lightweight magnified optic for their rifle.

This is a great scope especially for the price. I plan I using this for TTG. I feel that this magnification is ideal for that competition, tbd how it performs. Out of the box I’m very pleased. Good build quality and good glass. Illumination is not red dot bright but it is very bright and visible in most conditions. The reticle is very small at 2x but that is to be expected with FFP. The turrets lock and have very good detents. I do wish the turrets weren’t so tall but it’s not a deal breaker. Turrets seem to track very well and the eye box is pretty good. Overall I would buy this scope again in a heartbeat!

I would say the best bang for buck scope in the 2-12 magnification range. Even though I like the reticle the center dot is a tad too large (1 MOA) for precision work at the higher magnifications but apart from that it is near perfect. The illumination is bright enough for all but the brightest daylight conditions. Turrets have nice tactile clicks while making adjustments and the fact that they lock is even better. Overall just a solid scope.

Personally, I believe this is the best MPVO on the market. Reticle looks awesome at all magnifications and the illumination is a nice too. Currently have this rigged up on my AR-15 for the Tactical Games. Would buy it again.

Great value for its performance, punches above its price class.

great glass quality and all the features I need. zero stop works great, illumination is beautiful, dialing and holding is true, and I love the reticle! Barely bigger than the vortex Viper 1-6 I replaced with this and light years better. I highly recommend this optic to many people for AR application or anything in the mag range

Very easy to set up and used was able to shoot 500 yards pretty fast.

This has all most all bell and whistle you will want/need. Clear edge to edge view. Great eye relief, yes but the exit pupil is the real star. It is EASY to get behind the scope at 12x. The mil markings are correct as well. I put it on a 9in 300blk and zeroed 125gr at 50yrd, and then shot 200gr subsonic at same distance. Came in from what I was able to see on the scope at 1.5mil low. I adjusted my holdover and was able to get bullseye at 50 w/o issue. I decided to test the math that the scope was giving me so I took the target out to 100yrd and held 3mil low, and BULLSEYE. Now to set the zero stop, and be able to just dial down 3mil to be able to make that shot w/o holdover. Love this scope. Just buy it.
