Track Every Impact with Unmatched Long-Range Clarity

 

Struggling to spot hits at extreme distances? Upgrade to the Ares G2 UHD — the spotting scope that gives you crisp, color-accurate visuals beyond 1,000 yards without the eye fatigue or blur of cheap glass.


Features

  • Apochromatic Lens System (APO) – Corrects color fringing at the source for razor-sharp edges and unmatched color accuracy, even at max zoom.
  • UHD (Ultra High Definition) Extra-Low Dispersion Glass – Reduces chromatic aberration for crystal-clear image fidelity — spot fine feather detail or bullet splash with zero haze.
  • XPL Protective Exterior Coating – Shields external lens surfaces from scratches, oil, and dirt — because your scope should survive the same terrain you do.
  • ESP Dielectric Prism Coating – Maximizes light transmission and delivers brighter, truer images, especially in low-light hours.
  • Advanced Fully Multi-Coated Lenses – Multiple layers of anti-reflective coating on every air-to-glass surface — for optimized brightness and clarity edge to edge.
  • Precision-Built Aluminum Alloy Chassis – Rigid and lightweight — maintains optical alignment even in harsh conditions or rugged field use.
  • Argon-Purged Waterproof Sealing – Fully fogproof and waterproof — performs flawlessly in extreme humidity, rain, or rapid temperature changes.
  • Rotating Tripod Ring + Twist-Up Eyecups – Dial in comfort and field flexibility — whether glassing from prone or scanning treetops.

The Ares G2 UHD is for you if…

  • You shoot steel at 1,000+ yards and need to see impacts without guessing or asking your spotter twice.
  • You’re a birder trying to ID subtle plumage differences at long distances — and you’ve missed IDs due to blurry, color-distorted views.
  • You’ve outgrown mid-tier scopes but don’t want to pay $3,000+ for European glass that only marginally outperforms.
  • You scout or hunt in rugged terrain where your gear takes a beating — and you need optics built like your rifle: tough, reliable, and field-ready.
  • You glass during low light — dawn, dusk, or cloudy overcast — and demand sharp, color-true visuals even when visibility is borderline.
  • You’ve had scopes fog up, lose clarity at full zoom, or feel flimsy on a tripod — and you’re ready for something professional-grade without the boutique markup.


When you're pushing past 1,000 yards, guesswork isn't an option. You need optics that can clearly show impacts, trace splash, and confirm hits — even in shimmer or heat mirage. The Ares G2 UHD gives you that edge, with glass engineered for serious shooters and long-range precision.

This isn’t just another scope with inflated specs. It’s designed for field performance with details that matter — like a rotating tripod ring for quick repositioning, and twist-up eyecups that keep your view sharp and comfortable, even with glasses or when spending long hours on glass.

If you’ve been holding off on upgrading because “premium” scopes come with a price you can’t justify — this is your answer. The Ares G2 UHD delivers elite performance that rivals European glass, without the boutique markup. It’s tripod-adaptable and rock-solid in any shooting setup, from benchrest to backcountry.

It also excels in usability. With a generous 19.5–18mm eye relief, you'll get a full field of view across the entire zoom range — no awkward eye box hunting or edge clipping. And for birders or wildlife observers, the 39.4 ft close focus lets you lock onto subjects up close with the same UHD sharpness you'd expect at distance.

At max zoom, you’re still working with a wide 47 ft field of view at 1,000 yards — and nearly 100 ft at 20x. That means you can track a moving target, scan an open ridge, or follow a bird in flight without constantly repositioning your scope. Less frustration, more time on target.

And it’s not just about the optics. This scope is armored, argon-purged, and engineered to thrive in real-world conditions. Rain, dust, altitude shifts — the Ares G2 UHD is built to go wherever your glassing takes you.

Whether you're dialing for first-round hits or spotting life in motion at dawn, this scope doesn’t just keep up — it leads. Clarity, control, and confidence — all without compromise.
