Athlon’s 4.5 – 27×50 Ares BTR SF Riflescope combines the strength and durability of 6061-T6 aluminum construction with the contrast and detail of high-definition (HD) optics in a single package. The wide 50mm objective diameter delivers bright and clear images even in challenging light conditions, allowing shooters to extend their activities to dawn and dusk. The optical system also features fully multi-coated elements for improved brightness and low glare, extended 6x zoom for versatility, and the APLR3 MIL illuminated reticle, which operates parallax-free from 25 yards to infinity. The first focal plane location allows the reticle to match the scale of targets and backgrounds as you zoom in and out, and serves correct compensation values, without the necessity to do any additional math. Its pattern features four medium posts and an illuminated crosshair with dense, MRAD-based stadia and a tree-shaped grid of ballistic and wind compensation points below the center
To bring durability and strength to the table, the housing is crafted from 6061-T6 aluminum alloy and has a single-piece 30mm maintube with a high-precision erector system. It offers exposed and graduated direct dial windage and elevation turrets with a precise zero stop system. Other enhancements include a reticle brightness knob and the eyepiece’s low-profile zoom lever.
