Frequently asked questions

Does the NEOS 4-12X40 have an adjustable parallax?

No, this model does not feature adjustable parallax. The parallax is set at a fixed distance, which works well for typical hunting and target shooting ranges where parallax error is minimal.

What does the BDC 500 IR reticle mean?

BDC stands for Bullet Drop Compensator. The 500 designation indicates the reticle is calibrated around 500-yard ballistics. IR means the reticle includes illumination for low-light conditions, allowing you to light up the aiming point when needed.

What is an FFL transfer in California?
