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. With a versatile 4X magnification range, the Talos is ideal for various hunting scenarios, from whitetails in dense forests to prairie dogs in open fields. 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.

The HD optical system provides outstanding color fidelity and sharpness, delivering clear images even in dim lighting—crucial for dawn and dusk hunts. Its precision turrets and side parallax adjustment allow for accurate, on-the-fly adjustments, while the rugged, shockproof construction holds up under tough conditions. Lightweight and built to withstand moisture and debris, the Viper HD is perfect for hunters seeking quality optics without excess weight.
