Athlon Ares ETR Gen2J UHD 4.5-30x56 FFP Rifle Scope - Illuminated APRS12 MIL, Matte, 212114J

The Athlon Ares ETR Gen2 UHD 4.5-30x56 APRS12 FFP IR MIL riflescope is built for shooters who want premium optical clarity, dependable turret tracking, and a first focal plane MIL reticle for long-range precision. It is a strong choice for competition rifles, long-range target setups, and hunters who prefer a MIL-based system for holds and corrections.

With UHD glass, advanced fully multi-coated lenses, and an illuminated APRS12 first focal plane MIL reticle, this scope is designed to deliver a bright, detailed image and accurate reticle references throughout the zoom range. The precision zero stop system and locking turret design help shooters dial with confidence and return to zero reliably after making elevation changes.
