Athlon Ares ETR Gen2J UHD 4.5-30x56 FFP Rifle Scope - Illuminated APLR12 MOA, Matte, 212113J

The Athlon Ares ETR Gen2 UHD 4.5-30x56 APLR12 FFP IR MOA riflescope is built for shooters who want premium glass, repeatable turret performance, and a first focal plane MOA reticle for serious long-range work. It is well suited for precision rifle shooting, extended-range hunting, and shooters who need confidence when dialing or using holdovers at distance.

This optic combines UHD glass, advanced fully multi-coated lenses, and an illuminated APLR12 first focal plane MOA reticle to deliver sharp detail, excellent contrast, and accurate subtensions across the magnification range. The precision zero stop system and locking turret design help support fast return-to-zero performance and consistent adjustments under demanding conditions.
