Athlon Ares HLR 4-24x50 SFP IR AHMC1 Fiber Dot MOA

Western hunters who glass at distance and shoot at distance need magnification: 24x lets you read wind on a hillside and place a shot on an animal at 600 yards with confidence. The Athlon Ares HLR 4-24x50 pairs 24x magnification and a 50mm objective with a hunting-weight 21-ounce chassis, bridging the gap between dedicated long-range rigs and field-practical optics.

The 6x zoom ratio covers mid-range shots at 4x through precision holds at 24x, making this scope at home on everything from a whitetail stand to a long-range prairie dog rig. The AHMC1 Fiber Dot reticle puts a clean illuminated center dot on a traditional hunting crosshair that steps down from bold outer posts to a fine center: fast on close targets, precise at distance.

Key Features

• 50mm Objective on a 30mm Tube — The larger objective gathers more light than a 42mm, delivering a brighter image in low-light conditions when it matters most.
• AHMC1 Fiber Dot Illuminated Reticle (SFP, MOA) — Center fiber dot for fast acquisition in low light, on a fine center crosshair framed by bold outer posts. Second focal plane keeps the reticle size consistent across the zoom range.
• 4-24x Magnification Range — 4x is wide enough for 100-yard shots through timber, while 24x gives you the magnification to resolve targets and read wind at 600+ yards. The 6x zoom ratio keeps the optical design simple and the image sharp across the range.
• Fully Multi-Coated Optics — Enhanced light transmission with accurate color reproduction across the full magnification range.
• Argon Purged — Premium gas purging provides superior fog-proof performance compared to nitrogen, keeping the inside fog-free through rapid temperature swings common in mountain and early-morning hunting.
• Side-Focus Parallax (10 yds to Infinity) — Eliminates parallax error at any distance without breaking cheek weld. The 10-yard minimum adds versatility for close-range varmint work.
• 0.25 MOA Clicks — Precise, repeatable turret adjustments for zeroing and field corrections.

Ideal For

• Long-range hunters who need more magnification and light-gathering than a 42mm scope can provide. The 4-24x50 gives you the reach for cross-canyon shots and the brightness for dawn and dusk encounters on big game.
• Whitetail hunters on stands and blinds where shots range from 50 to 400+ yards. The 4x low end handles close encounters while 24x lets you judge trophy quality and place shots precisely at distance.
• Varmint and predator hunters who want the 10-yard parallax minimum for close work, plus enough magnification to spot and engage small targets at 400-600 yards across open ground.
