Overview
The Athlon Ares ETR 4.5-30X56 APRS12 Riflescope is engineered for precision engagements at extended ranges, offering robust optical performance and mechanical repeatability. This optic is designed to meet the demands of competitive shooters and long-range enthusiasts requiring accurate holdovers and reliable adjustments under varied conditions.
Key Features
Optical System
The Ares ETR series incorporates Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) glass elements within its fully multi-coated lens system. This design significantly mitigates chromatic aberration, delivering enhanced color fidelity, contrast, and resolution across the entire 4.5-30x magnification range. The substantial 56mm objective lens maximizes light transmission, providing a bright and clear image critical for target identification and shot placement in diverse lighting environments.
Mechanical Precision
Equipped with high-precision turrets, the Ares ETR provides distinct, audible, and tactile adjustments for both windage and elevation. Each click represents 0.1 MIL, ensuring granular control over impact point correction. The system integrates a true zero stop mechanism, facilitating a rapid and repeatable return to zero after significant adjustments. Parallax adjustment is integrated via a side focus knob, allowing for critical focus from 25 yards to infinity, which is essential for eliminating aiming errors at extended distances.
Reticle Integration
The APRS12 reticle is a First Focal Plane (FFP) design, ensuring that all subtensions for ranging, holdovers, and windage corrections remain accurate across the entire magnification spectrum. Its precise milling and illuminated center provide clear aiming points without obscuring the target, enhancing utility and rapid target acquisition, particularly in low-light scenarios.
Construction & Durability
Constructed from a single piece of aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminum, the 34mm main tube ensures structural rigidity and enhanced shock resistance, capable of withstanding the recoil impulses of high-caliber platforms. The optic is argon purged for superior fogproof performance and is fully waterproof, maintaining its integrity and optical clarity under harsh environmental conditions.
