Athlon Talos
The Talos scope is built for the dedicated hunter, featuring fully multi-coated lenses that enhance light transmission for optimal brightness and true color across the entire light spectrum. Its etched glass reticle ensures durability and shock resistance, while the heat-treated one-piece tube design provides exceptional strength and moisture resistance, keeping the scope fog-proof for life. Nitrogen purging further reduces moisture inside the tube, ensuring waterproof performance in harsh conditions.

Choose from specialty reticle options like Center X, Mil Dot, or BDC600 IR for precise aiming and range estimation, empowering you to make the most of every low-light hunting opportunity.
