Athlon Ares HLR 4-24x50 SFP IR APRS H2 MIL

A 4-24x hunting scope with the APRS H2 MIL holdover reticle, 50mm objective, and one-piece aircraft-grade aluminum tube — the MIL variant of the higher-magnification Ares HLR. The 50mm objective pulls in more light than a 42mm, keeping the image bright into the last minutes of legal shooting light, while 0.1 MIL clicks and a MIL-based holdover reticle keep turrets and reticle speaking the same language.

The APRS H2 reticle puts a full MIL holdover system in the field of view — numbered hash marks extend to 6 MIL on each side for wind calls and 10 MIL below center for elevation holds, with fine sub-MIL graduations between the numbered marks. The illuminated center dot keeps the aiming point visible in low light, while the clean upper crosshair stays out of the way at lower magnification. For hunters who prefer to hold rather than dial, the APRS H2 puts the correction data where you can use it without lifting off the turrets.

Key Features

• APRS H2 Illuminated Reticle (SFP, MIL) — Full holdover reticle with numbered MIL hash marks for elevation and wind corrections directly in the field of view. The illuminated center dot stands out in low light without washing out the fine hash marks. Second focal plane keeps the reticle size consistent across the zoom range.
• 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. The 30mm tube balances light transmission against mounting height and ring compatibility.
• 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, maintaining a clear image 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.

Ideal For

• MIL-system shooters who want their turrets and reticle speaking the same language — 0.1 MIL clicks paired with a MIL holdover reticle means no mental conversion between what you see and what you dial.
• Long-range hunters who want holdover data built into the reticle and more light-gathering than a 42mm scope — the APRS H2 gives you the MIL references to hold and shoot at distance, and the 50mm objective keeps the image bright at dawn and dusk.
• Varmint and predator hunters who want the 10-yard parallax minimum for close work, plus enough magnification and holdover reference to engage small targets at 400-600 yards across open ground.
