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.
Sightmark Pinnacle
The Sightmark Pinnacle Riflescope stands out as a top-tier optic, ideal for a wide range of shooting scenarios. With premium Japanese glass and fully multi-coated optics, the image quality is exceptional, offering clarity that competitors struggle to match. Whether you're a competition shooter or a dedicated hunter, the Pinnacle’s first focal plane reticle ensures precise holdovers at any magnification, while the zero stop elevation dial guarantees repeatable accuracy with every shot. I’ve spent significant time testing the Pinnacle in various conditions, and the red/green illuminated reticle truly shines in low-light environments, powered by a CR2032 battery. Whether you're shooting at close range or pushing out to longer distances, the reticle’s illumination offers quick target acquisition and the flexibility to adapt to different lighting situations. The scope’s robust construction, with options for capped or exposed turrets, offers durability and customization, allowing you to fine-tune your setup for any challenge. The combination of features makes the Pinnacle an excellent choice for those who demand both precision and versatility.
