Features

  • Advanced Fully Multicoated optics effectively reduces reflected light and increases the transmission of light giving you a brighter image than normal single coated lenses
  • First focal plane reticle stays valid at all power settings allowing you to fully utilize the specially designed reticle that shrinks or grows along with your target as you zoom in or out.
  • Waterproof to protect the scope in the harshest weather conditions or if accidently submerged underwater
  • Exposed Direct Dial Turrets for elevation and windage allow you to quickly make adjustment as you needed and engage your target within a blink of your eyes.
  • Magnification: 2.5-15x

Description

Built off the success of the 1st generation Ares BTR, the Gen II is still a top-tier riflescope, without the price tag. The Ares Gen II acquires a new stainless steel turret design, just like the Midas TAC and Ares ETR lines. The new turret design features sharper, more tactile clicks. Still featuring HD glass, a new optical system provides an even brighter and clearer image throughout the magnification range. A one-piece, precision machined aircraft- grade aluminum 6061-T6 aluminum scope body, precision zero stop, and impeccable tracking will deliver precise, accurate results in any field.

  • Punches above it's class
Style: APRS5 IR MIL
Love the scope. I feel that it is great for the money! Good illumination, smooth adjustments, wide range of parallax adjustment. I do wish I had locking turrets instead of an adjustable zero stop, but it does what it needs to for sure! Highly recommend if it's in your price point!

  • Very Nice scope
I was a little cautious about buying this product as it is made in China, but I'm glad I gave it a try. I upgraded from a Sig Sauer scope because I needed more magnification. I have this on a AR-15 that was set up with 3.5-10 scope. I switched to this scope which actually gives me better visibility on both ends(near and far). The scope is very clear, even at full magnification. I will buy Athlon products in the future. Well worth the cost ... show more

  • Excellent quality
Style: APRS5 IR MIL
Wow! At first I was skeptical about purchasing this scope. I haven't taken it to the range yet but the build quality is excellent. The magnification is 2.5 - 15x which is great. The glass is very clear. The turrets are very tactile. Nothing really feels cheap about this scope. This is the Gen 2 model and now discontinued by Athlon due to the Gen 3 but for 400+ is a steal. The value/performance ratio is excellent. The only negative feedback is that I'm pretty sure the box was previously opened and the protection was limited. Looks like the bag got beat up quite a bit but not even a scratch on the optic. ... show more

  • Fantastic Scope! Really nice upgrade from Bushnell Engauge
Was very surprised on glass quality / clarity. Daytime bright illuminated reticle. This scope punches way above its price range. Build quality is fantastic brass zero stop. Highly recommended
