Athlon Ares ETR Gen2J UHD 15-60x56 SFP Rifle Scope - Illuminated IR ABLR3 MOA, Matte, 212117J

The Athlon Ares ETR Gen2 UHD 15-60x56 ABLR3 SFP IR MOA riflescope is designed for shooters who need extreme magnification, premium glass quality, and a fine reticle for precise aiming at long distances. It is especially well suited for benchrest shooting, F-Class competition, and shooters striving for the smallest possible groups at extended range.

Built with UHD glass, advanced fully multi-coated lenses, and an illuminated ABLR3 second focal plane MOA reticle, this scope is designed to provide a sharp, detailed image and a fine aiming point that minimizes target obstruction. The precision zero stop system and locking windage turret help deliver repeatable adjustments and confident control during serious long-range shooting.

• Precision load development and group shooting
• Shooters who want very high magnification with a fine MOA reticle

Key Features

• UHD Glass – Produces a very sharp image with excellent detail and minimal chromatic fringing
• Advanced Fully Multi-Coated Lenses – Improves brightness, contrast, and true color performance
• ABLR3 SFP IR MOA Reticle – Provides a fine second focal plane aiming point designed to minimize target obstruction
• Precision Zero Stop System – Gives shooters a clean, repeatable return to their original zero

• 30mm Tube – Provides durable construction in a proven one-piece design
• Illuminated Reticle – Improves aiming visibility in low-light or difficult target conditions

Why This Riflescope Stands Out

The Ares ETR Gen2 UHD 15-60x56 stands out because it is purpose-built for shooters who prioritize precision over everything else. Its extremely high magnification range, fine second focal plane reticle, and benchrest-oriented design make it an excellent option for F-Class, paper punching, and other forms of deliberate long-range shooting where tiny aiming errors matter.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is this 15-60x56 model best suited for?
This scope is especially well suited for benchrest, F-Class, and other precision disciplines where maximum magnification and a fine reticle are important.

Why does this model use a second focal plane reticle?
The fine second focal plane ABLR3 reticle is designed to minimize target obstruction, which is helpful when trying to hold precisely on small targets at long distance.

Is this a practical hunting scope?
This model is much more specialized for bench and precision long-range shooting than for general hunting, especially because of its high 15-60x magnification range and overall size.
