Athlon Neos - truly OK for heavy springers?

Just received a Neos 4-12x40 SF and I'm surprised at the quality. Everything about it seems better than good. If I had a complaint I would say that the reticle is a little heavy. Not much if so, and that is subjective anyway.
Straight Shooters lists it as one of their heavy recoil scopes. Can anyone confirm that through personal use? Because if so, I may be in the market for a few more.
Thanks in advance

Hmmmmm.... I was never told that by them..
Whether your gun malfunctioned and destroyed your scope, spotting scope fell off the cliff or binocular burned in a house fire – we’ve got you covered.

I was told dont matter if mounted on a spitwad straw or m1 tank its covered.
Why its a no questions ask lifetime warranty..
I also use a talos ...

I’m thinking the neos/talos sfp wire reticle scopes are not suited for spring guns. I have 2 talos 4-16x40 sfp scopes on 2 beeman r7s that are both having point of impact shift of the CENTER crosshairs when I change magnification.
Both shift about 2” high and to the right from 10x zero to 16x. Not super happy. My argos btr gen 2 and Midas tac both do not exhibit any poi shift with magnification. And being sfp vs ffp scopes shouldn’t matter because I am only talking about the center crosshairs not holdover marks.
