Athlon Spotting Scope Ares G2 - 20-60X85 Uhd 45 Degree
The Athlon Spotting Scope Ares G2 20-60x85 UHD in 45-degree configuration is a full-size optic built for shooters and spotters who demand clarity at distance. Whether you're reading bullet impacts at 1,000 yards, glassing distant terrain, or conducting detailed observation, this scope combines a generous 85mm objective lens with a 20–60x magnification range to pull fine detail from far-off targets. The extra-low dispersion glass delivers the vivid, high-resolution image you need when precision matters.
The 45-degree eyepiece angle makes this spotting scope comfortable to use from prone or seated positions—a real advantage during long shooting sessions or extended glassing. The optical design prioritizes contrast and edge clarity, translating to better target definition and faster target acquisition across your entire zoom range.
For long-range shooters, the Ares G2 pairs with an optional fixed 28x ranging reticle eyepiece (sold separately), giving you the ability to dial in holdovers and verify wind calls without breaking your spotting routine. It's the kind of versatility that appeals to precision rifle shooters who treat their optics as an extension of their setup.
