Athlon Optics Midas TAC GEN2 HD 6-24×50 APRS14 FFP MIL

The Athlon Midas TAC GEN2 HD 6-24×50 APRS14 FFP MIL pairs 24x magnification with 25 MIL of symmetric elevation and windage travel, a precision zero stop, and HD glass — delivering the resolution and adjustment range that long-range precision shooting demands without crossing $700. The Gen2 HD upgrade brings low-dispersion glass and advanced fully multi-coated lenses for noticeably sharper, brighter images than the Gen1, and the 50mm objective gathers enough light to maintain a useful image even at max power. Independent reviewers consistently rate the Midas TAC as the best-featured FFP scope in its price class.

Key Features

• HD low-dispersion glass with advanced fully multi-coated lenses and XPL protective coating delivers bright, color-true images with reduced chromatic aberration — reviewers describe the Gen2 HD glass as comparable to scopes costing significantly more
• 25 MIL total elevation and windage adjustment in a 30mm tube with 10 MIL per revolution — symmetric travel gives you equal correction range in both axes, with enough elevation to dial past 1,000 yards on most centerfire cartridges without a canted rail
• Precision zero stop returns to your exact zero with a hard, repeatable stop — a feature rarely found below $700
• 0.1 MIL clicks on the exposed elevation turret are tactile and audible, with tracking that independent testers have verified as dead-on through the full adjustment range
• Capped windage turret prevents accidental bumps in the field while still providing 25 MIL of total correction range
• First focal plane APRS14 MIL reticle — etched glass, non-illuminated, with hash marks at consistent MIL increments and a fine floating center dot. Subtensions stay accurate at every magnification
• 6-24x magnification range with a 4x zoom ratio — 24x gives you the resolution to read mirage, spot splash, and make precise corrections at extended distance, while the 50mm objective maintains a usable exit pupil across the power range
• Side-focus parallax adjustment from 10 yards to infinity — the 10-yard close focus is significantly closer than most competitors (typically 25-50 yards), making this scope equally capable on airguns and rimfire at short range
• 30mm one-piece aircraft-grade aluminum tube, argon-purged and sealed — waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof

Ideal For

PRS and NRL competitors who want more magnification for target identification and wind reading — 25 MIL of elevation travel, a zero stop, and crisp 0.1 MIL clicks deliver the mechanical features that precision rifle competition demands. At 26.3 oz, this scope keeps weight manageable while giving you 24x of resolution for reading conditions at distance.

Long-range precision shooters building around 6.5 Creedmoor, .308 Winchester, or similar cartridges who prioritize magnification over a wide low-end — the 6-24x range and 25 MIL of elevation put confident dialups to 1,000+ yards within reach. The HD glass and FFP reticle let you read conditions and correct without lifting your head from the stock.

Precision rifle shooters on a budget who want FFP, HD glass, and a zero stop without crossing $700 — the Midas TAC GEN2 HD delivers the core feature set that competitors charge $900+ for. The main trade-offs are no illumination and a capped windage turret, which many shooters actually prefer.

F-class, benchrest, and airgun field target competitors — the 24x top end provides the magnification these disciplines demand for precise shot placement on small targets, and the 10-yard minimum parallax focus handles everything from close-range airgun work to 1,000-yard centerfire.
