Athlon Ares ETR UHD
The Argos HMR is thoughtfully designed with the average outdoorsman in mind, offering a compact and durable hunting scope that is both feature-rich and affordable. With 5x and 6x magnification ratios, it is perfectly suited for a variety of close and long-range hunting scenarios. The Advanced Fully Multi-Coated lenses enhance light transmission and clarity, while the choice of clean reticle options—such as illuminated center-dot crosshair, Mil-Dot, or BDC—provides a fool-proof traditional setup for any shooter. The Ares ETR First Focal Plane scope takes long-range shooting to new heights. It features a revamped turret system with a locking Windage turret and a true zero stop on the elevation turret, ensuring consistent and accurate adjustments. Extra Low dispersion lenses produce sharp, vibrant images with excellent color reproduction, and the 34mm tube construction is built to endure the harshest conditions. With a 0.1 MIL click value, a total elevation adjustment of 32 MIL, and a parallax adjustment from 25 yards to infinity, this scope is a top-tier choice for precision shooting enthusiasts.
