Athlon Forerunner?

SFP, 1/4 MOA clicks, 1" tube, NON-IR, only focuses down to 20 yard parallax ehh...seems expensive at $200 for a very budget spec scope imo.

I couldn't recommend it based on that even if those specs are up your alley.

Theyre $130 on ebay right now, but it's side focus and I thought it went down to 10 yards. Hmm...

I own 2 athlon neos, a 6-18x44 and 4-12x40. Both very good budget scopes. I prefer them over westhunter and hawke vantage line.

Yep, just checked and they do only adjust down to 20 yards. Bummer.

I think if athlon did the neos with sf and gave it the mil dot and kept it at or under $150. That would be a seller ..

But no mildot neos at all .

Then that four runner seems to only be a bdc reticle .. mehaaa..... I'd pass on that in air gunning .. ( opinion)

I use the Talos in the 3-12. But kinda wish one was the 4-16 ( mildots)

Overall can't complain on athlon . Been good and solid for me on anything used ..

I guess this is Athlon's try at a basic inexpensive big game hunting scope. It's lighter weight than the Talos 4-16 and has a wider FOV at 4.5x than the Talos does at 4x. Likely also a wider FOV on 14x than the Talos does at 14x. Might also have superior lens coatings and prescription since it's a new design which means better image qaulity. Also likely a wider eyebox.

Would work for airgun but it'd need to be on lower magnification when shooting sub 20y. BDC reticle, nope not great for airgun.
