Athlon Optics Ares G2 UHD 20-60x85 Angled Spotting Scope

Scoring targets at 1,000 yards requires glass that stays sharp at 60x. The Athlon Ares G2 UHD 20-60x85 Angled delivers apochromatic UHD glass, ESP dielectric-coated BAK-4 prisms, and an 85mm objective in a 45° angled body that maintains crisp, high-contrast images.

The 85mm aperture gathers nearly as much light as an 86mm design: the one-millimeter difference is optically insignificant.

Key Features

• Apochromatic UHD glass with advanced fully multi-coated lenses — the apochromatic lens system helps converge colors into one focus point, virtually eliminating color fringing at high magnification. XPL protective coating guards against dirt, oil, and scratches
• ESP dielectric coating on BAK-4 prisms reflects over 99% of light through the prism assembly, the same coating technology used in Athlon's flagship Cronus G2 line. The result is bright, high-contrast images with accurate color rendition
• 85mm objective lens — at 20x the field of view spans 99 feet at 1,000 yards for efficient scanning
• 45° angled eyepiece lets you look down into the scope rather than straight through it. More comfortable for group use: people of different heights can share the scope by simply adjusting their stance rather than repositioning the tripod
• 70 ounces (4.4 lbs) in an aluminum alloy chassis — argon purged and fully waterproof with a rotating tripod collar
• 19.5-18mm eye relief with twist-up eyecups — provides a full field of view, including for glasses wearers

Ideal For

Hunters who glass from camp, a truck bed, or a fixed vantage point and want apochromatic UHD glass without the Cronus G2 price.

Birders and wildlife observers who spend hours behind the scope at a time.

Prefer a straight body? The Ares G2 UHD 20-60x85 Straight shares the same optical platform at 68.9 ounces. The Cronus G2 UHD 20-60x86 adds a magnesium chassis and wider field of view.
