Track Faster. Spot with Precision.

 

Need to quickly spot and track targets across open terrain? The Ares G2 UHD Straight Spotting Scope delivers ultra-sharp imagery in a straight-through design that helps you acquire targets faster without changing your natural line of sight.


Features

  • UHD (Ultra High Definition) Glass – Extra-low dispersion elements eliminate chromatic aberration for ultra-crisp edge-to-edge clarity, even in high-contrast environments.
  • Apochromatic Lens System – Enhances color accuracy and contrast by aligning color wavelengths at a single focal point—ideal for identifying fine details at extreme distances.
  • Interchangeable Eyepiece System – Easily swap the standard zoom eyepiece for an optional fixed 22x MIL-ranging reticle eyepiece—perfect for tactical and competition use.
  • ESP Dielectric-Coated BaK4 Prisms – Delivers exceptional light transmission and vivid, true-to-life color in dim or overcast conditions.
  • Argon Purged & Waterproof Chassis – Fully sealed aluminum alloy housing prevents internal fogging and stands up to rain, snow, and elevation shifts.
  • XPL Exterior Lens Coating – Shields glass surfaces from dirt, oil, and scratches—built for frequent field use in tough terrain.
  • Rotating Tripod Collar & Twist-Up Eyecups – Enables fast angle adjustments and viewing comfort for users wearing glasses or switching positions.
  • Straight-Body Design – Allows faster target acquisition when glassing downhill, across flat terrain, or from prone shooting positions.
  • Rugged, Field-Ready Construction – Weighing 49.5 oz, this model balances durability and image performance for high-impact field use.

The Ares G2 is for you if…

  • You glass across flatlands, valleys, or long firing lanes and want a straight-line optical path for faster target transitions.
  • You’re a range shooter, tactical spotter, or competitor who prefers a spotting scope setup aligned with your rifle orientation.
  • You hunt from blinds or tripods where scanning forward in a straight line improves speed and comfort over angled designs.<
  • You’ve outgrown basic spotting scopes and want a field-tested upgrade with premium glass and tactical-level versatility.
  • You value both clarity and control and need a scope that handles harsh weather, tough terrain, and all-day use without blinking.


When you’re tracking movement on a distant ridgeline or calling hits in a match, the last thing you want is a scope that slows you down or washes out the view. The Ares G2 UHD Straight was built for speed, sharpness, and rugged reliability—everything a precision shooter or backcountry hunter demands.

Unlike generic scopes, the Ares G2 gives you more than magnification. With UHD glass, apochromatic lens correction, and advanced fully multi-coated (AFMC) optics, you get crystal-clear images with outstanding contrast, color, and brightness—perfect for spotting animals or impacts at serious distance, even in low light.

Its straight-body design is ideal for shooters who want natural alignment between their eyes and their targets—making scanning and tracking intuitive whether you're prone, behind a bench, or locked in on a tripod. And with waterproofing, argon purging, and XPL coatings, it’s built to thrive in the kind of real-world conditions most scopes tap out in.

The modular eyepiece system takes things further. Whether you’re dialing in for a high-country hunt or ranging steel on a competitive course, the optional fixed MIL-reticle eyepiece gives you the tools to call wind, measure distance, and track impacts with precision.

Every inch of this scope is made for real use—from the ultra-bright AFMC lenses and wide field of view to the rugged, tripod-adaptable build that stays locked in, whether you're prone or benchrested. And with a close focus of just 13 feet, even nearby details come into sharp relief.

The Ares G2 lineup gives you options, but the 15-45x65 Straight is the go-to for shooters who want maximum speed and situational awareness. It’s your edge when the mission is fast and the details matter most.
