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.

Nightforce NXS

For those getting started in the Precision Rifle Series (PRS), the Nightforce NXS 8-32x56mm scope is an excellent option. Designed for precision, this scope features a versatile magnification range that ensures no target is beyond reach. The ZeroStop elevation technology allows for quick returns to zero, while the broad 8-32x magnification provides versatility for various applications. The MOAR-T reticle with .0625 MOA lines facilitates accurate range finding and holdover estimation. Constructed from durable aircraft-grade aluminum, this scope is built to withstand tough conditions. The second focal plane design ensures that the reticle maintains size relative to the target as you zoom in or out, and the illumination enhances visibility during low-light situations. With its advanced optics, the NXS delivers bright images and reliable performance in any environment.
