CENTER-X SFP MOA Reticle
The CENTER-X reticle is a clean, intuitive second focal plane MOA reticle designed specifically for hunting. It features a simple crosshair with MOA-based hash marks that allow for precise holdovers and windage corrections at longer ranges. Because the reticle is located in the second focal plane, it remains a consistent size throughout the magnification range, making it easy to use at lower powers for close-range shots while still providing useful aiming points when zoomed in. The reticle is non-illuminated, keeping the design simple and reliable for daytime hunting.
Optical Performance
The Athlon NEOS HMR 3-9x40 utilizes fully multi-coated lenses that deliver bright, clear images with good color contrast. The 3-9x magnification range is one of the most popular and versatile options for hunters, offering a wide field of view at 3x for close-range or moving targets and up to 9x magnification for precise shots at longer distances. The 40mm objective lens provides a solid balance between light transmission and a compact, lightweight profile, making this scope easy to carry during long days in the field.
