Athlon Ares ETR Gen2 15-60x56 34mm ABLR3 SFP IR MOA Rifle Scope 212117J (UPC 813869025813)
The Athlon Ares ETR Gen2 15-60x56 34mm ABLR3 SFP IR MOA Rifle Scope 212117J (UPC 813869025813) is a purpose-built, ultra-high magnification optic designed for the most demanding precision shooters. As part of Athlon’s second-generation Ares ETR series, this extreme long-range scope delivers exceptional clarity, precise tracking, and advanced features tailored for benchrest, F-Class, and long-range competition shooting. With its massive 15-60x magnification range and large 56mm objective lens, the Ares ETR Gen2 provides the detail and resolution needed to engage targets at extreme distances with confidence.
Engineered for serious marksmen who require maximum magnification and optical performance, the Athlon Ares ETR Gen2 15-60x56 features the ABLR3 second focal plane reticle with illumination. The second focal plane design keeps the reticle at a constant size throughout the magnification range, making it easier to see at lower powers while still offering fine aiming points at maximum magnification. Whether you’re competing in F-Class, shooting benchrest, or pushing the limits of long-range accuracy, this scope offers the precision and reliability needed to achieve consistent results.
Extreme 15-60x Magnification Range
The Athlon Ares ETR Gen2 offers an impressive 15-60x magnification range, making it one of the most powerful optics in its class. This extreme magnification allows shooters to clearly identify and engage targets at distances well beyond 1,000 yards. At 60x, the scope provides exceptional detail for precise shot placement on small targets or for reading mirage and wind conditions at long range.
The large 56mm objective lens maximizes light transmission, delivering bright and clear images even at the highest magnification settings. Combined with Athlon’s advanced fully multi-coated lenses, this scope provides outstanding resolution, contrast, and color fidelity across the entire zoom range, giving shooters a clear advantage during long-range competitions and extended shooting sessions.

ABLR3 Second Focal Plane Reticle
The Athlon Ares ETR Gen2 is equipped with the ABLR3 second focal plane reticle. In a second focal plane design, the reticle remains at a constant size regardless of magnification. This makes the reticle easier to see at lower power settings while still providing fine aiming points when zoomed in to maximum magnification. The ABLR3 reticle features a clean layout with precise MOA-based hash marks, making it highly effective for long-range dialing and holdovers.
The illuminated reticle offers multiple brightness settings, allowing shooters to adjust the intensity for optimal visibility in varying light conditions. This feature is particularly useful during early morning or late evening long-range shooting sessions when light levels are low.
34mm Tube and Premium Optical Performance
The Ares ETR Gen2 utilizes a large 34mm main tube, which provides a greater range of elevation and windage adjustment compared to smaller diameter tubes. This is essential for extreme long-range shooting, where shooters often require substantial adjustment travel to compensate for bullet drop at distances beyond 1,000 yards.
Athlon’s high-quality glass and advanced lens coatings deliver bright, high-contrast images with minimal chromatic aberration. The 56mm objective lens further enhances performance in low-light conditions, giving competitive shooters a clear advantage when mirage and lighting conditions are challenging.
Built for Precision and Durability
The Athlon Ares ETR Gen2 is constructed to meet the rigorous demands of competitive long-range shooting. It is waterproof, fog proof, and shockproof, ensuring reliable performance in all weather conditions. The robust 34mm tube is machined from a single piece of aircraft-grade aluminum, providing exceptional strength and structural integrity under heavy use.
The scope features precision-machined tactical turrets with audible and tactile clicks for accurate and repeatable adjustments. Locking turrets help prevent accidental movement, while the zero-stop feature allows shooters to quickly return to their zero after making elevation adjustments. These features make the Ares ETR Gen2 a trusted choice for serious precision rifle competitors.
