Athlon Optics Ares BTR GEN3 HD 2.5-15x50 APLR13 FFP IR MOA

Tactical shooters who also hunt need a scope that transitions from barricade drills to backcountry pack-outs without swapping optics. The Athlon Ares BTR GEN3 HD 2.5-15x50 solves both with a 2.5-15x FFP design, precision zero stop, and HD glass in a 27.3-ounce package.

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
• 100 MOA total elevation and windage adjustment in a 30mm tube, with 25 MOA per revolution
• Precision zero stop returns to your exact zero with a hard, repeatable stop: no counting clicks back from an arbitrary reference point
• 0.25 MOA clicks
• First focal plane APLR13 MOA reticle with illuminated center: hash marks at 1 MOA increments, bold marks every 5 MOA, and a 0.2 MOA floating center dot that provides a precise aiming point without obscuring the target
• 2.5x low end with 41.8 ft field of view at 100 yards — wide enough for close-range hunting or dynamic shooting
• Side-focus parallax adjustment from 10 yards to infinity
• 30mm one-piece aircraft-grade aluminum tube, argon-purged and sealed: waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof

Ideal For

Crossover hunters who dial at distance. At 27.3 oz with 100 MOA of elevation travel, you get genuine long-range capability. The zero stop ensures you're always back to your confirmed zero between shots.

Precision rifle shooters on a budget — 100 MOA of elevation in a 30mm tube with FFP, zero stop, Gen3 turrets and an included throw lever.

Multi-purpose rifle builders — the 2.5-15x range and 27.3 oz weight make this scope genuinely versatile. The wide 2.5x low end keeps it useful for close encounters, while the FFP reticle and turrets let you stretch it to distance when opportunities present themselves.
