Athlon Ares ETR GEN2 UHD Rifle Scope 4.5-36x56 APLR12 FFP IR MOA Reticle (Brown)

The Athlon Ares ETR GEN2 UHD 4.5-36x56 rifle scope brings serious glass and serious magnification range to long-range hunting and precision shooting. Built around UHD extra-low dispersion optics, this scope delivers the clarity and light transmission you need whether you're glassing at dawn or dialing in shots at extended distance. The 4.5-36x magnification and 56mm objective give you flexibility across a wide range of shooting scenarios, from closer shots to real distance work.

The scope comes equipped with a first focal plane (FFP) APLR12 MOA reticle, which means your holdovers and ranging references stay true regardless of what magnification you're running. That consistency is critical when you're working at distance. Locking turrets and a zero stop give you repeatability and confidence—dial it in, lock it down, and trust your adjustments through the day or across seasons.

The brown finish pairs rugged durability with a classic aesthetic that works across modern and traditional hunting rifles alike. Whether you're competing on the range or hunting at elevation, the Ares ETR GEN2 UHD sits in that sweet spot where optical quality, adjustment precision, and practical magnification range come together for shooters who refuse to compromise.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does first focal plane (FFP) mean, and why does it matter?

In a first focal plane scope, the reticle sits in front of the magnification lens, so it magnifies along with your target. This means your holdover marks and ranging references stay proportionally accurate whether you're at 4.5x or 36x magnification. That's invaluable for long-range precision shooting where you're constantly adjusting magnification and need to trust your reticle at any power.

Is this scope suitable for hunting and competitive shooting, or just one or the other?

The Ares ETR GEN2 UHD is built for both. The 4.5-36x range and FFP reticle system serve hunters who need flexibility across varying distances and competitive shooters who demand precision adjustment and repeatable turrets. Locking turrets and zero stop are features competitive shooters and serious hunters both rely on.

What does the IR marking mean?

The scope is infrared capable, meaning the glass and coatings are compatible with infrared or thermal imaging systems if you choose to add that capability later.

What is the APLR12 MOA reticle?

APLR12 is Athlon's precision reticle design featuring MOA-based holdover points for ranging and calculating bullet drop at distance. The specific holdover marks are calibrated for accurate shooting beyond point-blank range, supporting the precision-shooting and hunting applications this scope is designed for.
