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.

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.
