Illuminated AHMC SFP MOA Reticle
The AHMC (Advanced Hunting Multi Cross) reticle is a versatile, illuminated second focal plane MOA reticle designed specifically for hunters. It features a clean crosshair with MOA hash marks that allow for precise holdovers and windage corrections at various distances. The red illumination offers multiple brightness settings, enabling hunters to maintain a clear aiming point during the critical low-light periods of early morning and late evening without washing out the target. 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.
Superior Low-Light Performance
The 50mm objective lens on the NEOS HMR significantly improves light gathering capability compared to smaller objective scopes. This larger objective allows more light to reach the shooter’s eye, resulting in brighter images and better target acquisition during the low-light conditions commonly encountered while hunting. Combined with fully multi-coated lenses, the 3-9x50mm NEOS HMR provides excellent clarity and contrast even when light is fading, giving hunters a distinct advantage during the most productive hours of the day.
