Overview
Not a long range optic, the Neos is a modest hunting scope with printed bullet drop marks labelled for rimfire cartridges, in a one inch tube. A fixed-size reticle stays constant at every zoom setting.
A low zoom range with a rimfire-labelled reticle suits small-bore rifles at modest distances. The limitation is the sparse listing: the included components field reads only item, and the reticle name differs between fields.
Who it's for
Plinking and hunting setups on rimfire rifles at moderate distance. Shooters who need high zoom or a confirmed reticle layout should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Rimfire-labelled BDC reticle
- Variable zoom range
- One inch tube
- Second focal plane layout
- Reticle named inconsistently
- Included items field is unclear
- No night vision
Performance notes
A bullet drop compensated reticle uses printed marks for holdover instead of turret clicks, and those marks are labelled for a rimfire trajectory. Since the reticle does not scale with zoom, the marks hold their stated values at one power only. Field of view is widest at low power.
