Athlon Midas BTR Gen2 HD 4.5-27x50 AHMR SFP IR MOA

Stretching a bolt gun past 600 yards on a budget usually means choosing between optical clarity and mechanical features like zero stops and exposed turrets — most sub-$700 scopes compromise on one or the other. The Athlon Midas BTR Gen2 HD 4.5-27x50 puts HD glass, a precision zero stop, and 27x magnification in a package that gives new long-range shooters the tools to build real DOPE without outgrowing their optic.

The AHMR reticle features a 20 MOA illuminated center with a 2 MOA center cross and 2 MOA hash mark increments extending to 30 MOA on both the vertical and horizontal axes. The illuminated portion spans the inner 10 MOA in each direction, providing excellent low-light visibility for the holdover references you use most often. Beyond that, the hash marks continue to 30 MOA for extended-range holds. The AHMR uses standard MOA increments rather than caliber-specific BDC — it works with any cartridge as long as you know your load's trajectory. Subtensions are valid at 15x.

Key Features

• HD Glass with Advanced Fully Multi-Coated Lenses — Low-dispersion HD elements reduce chromatic aberration, while the AFMC coating maximizes light transmission for bright, true-color images. XPL protective coating on exterior lenses guards against dirt, oil, and scratches.
• Precision Zero Stop — Dial up for your shot, then return to zero with a positive mechanical stop. No counting clicks, no guessing — the turret stops exactly where you set it, every time.
• Exposed Tactical Turrets with 25 MOA Per Revolution — Stainless steel turret components deliver crisp, audible 0.25 MOA clicks. 85 MOA total elevation and windage adjustment provides ample travel for long-range dialing.
• AHMR Illuminated Reticle (SFP, MOA) — 20 MOA illuminated center with 2 MOA center cross and 2 MOA hash marks extending to 30 MOA in all directions for holdover, wind correction, and distance ranging. Caliber-agnostic — subtensions valid at 15x.
• Side Focus Parallax (30 yds - ∞) — Eliminate parallax error at any distance without taking your eyes off the target. Fine focus keeps the image sharp at high magnification.
• Argon Purged, One-Piece Hammer-Forged Tube — Premium gas purging for fog-proof performance and a forged aircraft-grade aluminum tube for structural integrity under heavy recoil.

Ideal For

• Long-range precision shooters who want HD glass, a zero stop, and exposed turrets at a price point that undercuts premium competitors — the Midas BTR Gen2 tracks reliably and the 25 MOA per revolution keeps turret math straightforward.
• Hunters who need a scope that covers everything from brush to open country — 4.5x on the low end is fast enough for timber shots, and 27x resolves targets across big western landscapes.
• PRS and NRL competitors looking for a capable optic to learn the game — the AHMR reticle's clean MOA grid gives you holdover and wind references you can read quickly under time pressure.
