Athlon Midas HMR Gen2 2-12x42 AHMC1 SFP IR MOA

Packing into backcountry elk camps or still-hunting whitetail ridgelines means every ounce on your rifle matters — and most scopes with quality glass at this magnification range weigh 22 ounces or more. The Athlon Midas HMR Gen2 2-12x42 packs flagship-level glass quality into a compact, 19-ounce package that covers everything from 50-yard timber shots to 400-yard meadow crossings.

Key Features

• Fully multi-coated lenses deliver bright, high-contrast images with true color reproduction across the full light spectrum
• Illuminated AHMC1 MOA reticle provides precise holdover references at 12x, with variable brightness settings for low-light conditions powered by a CR2032 battery
• Precision zero stop (Gen2 upgrade) lets you dial for distance with confidence and return to your established zero quickly
• Capped elevation and windage turrets with tactile 0.25 MOA clicks prevent accidental zero shifts in the field while still providing precise adjustment
• Side focus parallax adjustable from 10 yards to infinity eliminates parallax error at any distance
• Compact 12-inch, 19 oz design keeps weight and bulk to a minimum on mountain rifles and all-day carry builds
• One-piece aircraft-grade aluminum tube with argon purging delivers waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof performance in any conditions

Ideal For

• Mountain hunters who need premium optics without the weight penalty — 19 oz on a 30mm tube with a 42mm objective is an excellent balance of light gathering and packability
• Timber and brush hunters who value the wide 55.7-foot field of view at 2x for fast target acquisition on close, moving game
• Lightweight rifle builders looking for a compact scope that won't compromise glass quality to save weight
