Center-X SFP MOA Reticle
The Center-X reticle is a clean, intuitive second focal plane MOA reticle designed specifically for precision shooting. It features a simple crosshair with MOA-based hash marks that allow for precise holdovers and windage corrections at long range. 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 while still providing useful aiming points when zoomed in to 18x. The Center-X reticle offers a balance of simplicity and functionality, making it ideal for both hunting and long-range target shooting.
Optical Performance
The Athlon NEOS HMR 6-18x50 utilizes fully multi-coated lenses that deliver bright, clear images with excellent color contrast and resolution. The 6-18x magnification range provides outstanding versatility, offering a usable field of view at 6x while delivering high magnification for precise shots at extended distances. The large 50mm objective lens significantly improves light gathering capability, resulting in a brighter image during dawn, dusk, and overcast conditions. This makes the scope particularly effective for long-range hunting and shooting when light is limited.
