APRS-H2 Illuminated MIL Reticle
The APRS-H2 is a precision-oriented Christmas tree MIL reticle located in the second focal plane. It features a floating center dot for precise aiming, along with a detailed grid of hash marks below the center for rapid holdovers at various distances. Windage correction marks on both sides of the reticle allow shooters to quickly compensate for crosswinds. The illuminated portion of the reticle offers multiple brightness settings, ensuring excellent visibility in low-light conditions while remaining crisp during bright daylight. Because it is a second focal plane reticle, the size of the reticle remains constant throughout the magnification range, making it easier to use at lower magnifications for close to medium-range shots.
Premium Optical Performance
The Athlon ARES HLR 4-24x50 utilizes high-definition (HD) glass that delivers outstanding resolution, color fidelity, and edge-to-edge clarity. Athlon’s advanced Fully Multi-Coated lenses maximize light transmission while minimizing glare and reflections. The large 50mm objective lens significantly improves light gathering capability, providing bright, crisp images during dawn, dusk, and other low-light conditions. This combination of high-quality glass and coatings makes the ARES HLR an excellent choice for long-range hunters and precision rifle competitors who need to identify targets clearly at extended distances.
