Athlon Optics Ares G2 UHD 15-45x65 Angled Spotting Scope

Serious glassing from a vehicle, a blind, or a tripod in tight quarters demands a compact spotting scope that doesn't sacrifice glass quality for portability. The Athlon Ares G2 UHD 15-45x65 Angled delivers apochromatic UHD glass, ESP dielectric-coated BAK-4 prisms, and a modular eyepiece system in a compact 45-degree body that packs serious optical performance into a package sized for truck beds, daypacks, and cramped shooting positions.

Key Features

• UHD Apochromatic Glass — Extra-low dispersion elements converge color wavelengths at a single focal point, eliminating chromatic aberration for crisp, high-contrast imagery across the entire 15-45x zoom range.
• ESP Dielectric-Coated BAK-4 Prisms — Exceptional light transmission and vivid, true-to-life color rendition, even in dim or overcast conditions where cheaper prism coatings wash out.
• Interchangeable Eyepiece System — Swap the standard zoom eyepiece for an optional 22x MIL-ranging reticle eyepiece to call wind, measure distance, and track impacts — a feature typically reserved for scopes at twice the price.
• 171 ft Field of View at 1,000 Yards — One of the widest fields in the 65mm class at 15x, letting you scan large areas without repositioning.
• 45-Degree Angled Eyepiece — More comfortable for extended glassing sessions and easier to use on a tall tripod without bending over. Prefer straight? See the Ares G2 UHD 15-45x65 Straight.
• Argon Purged & Waterproof — Sealed aluminum alloy chassis handles rain, snow, altitude changes, and temperature swings without internal fogging.
• XPL Exterior Lens Coating — Shields exposed glass from dirt, oil, and scratches during hard field use.
• 13.1 ft Close Focus — Useful for observing nearby wildlife, reading target details, or checking impacts at close range.

Ideal For

• Backcountry hunters who need serious glass in a 45.9 oz, 11.9-inch package — compact enough for a daypack, capable enough for full-day glassing sessions across basins and ridgelines. The angled eyepiece reduces fatigue when scanning from elevated positions.
• Long-range shooters and PRS competitors who want modular optics with the option to add a MIL-ranging reticle for precision work, plus comfortable upright viewing from behind a bench or barricade.
• Birders and wildlife observers who prefer the ergonomic advantages of an angled design — easier to share between multiple observers and more natural to use when looking upward at canopy or cliff-nesting species.
• Digiscopers who benefit from the angled body's easier alignment with phone adapters and camera mounts.
