Athlon Optics Ares ETR 4.5-30x56 FFP Direct Dial – Side Focus, 34mm, APRS6 IR, Mil Matte

The Athlon Optics 212107 Ares ETR 4.5-30x56 is built for shooters who demand reliable clarity, precise adjustments, and long-range capability. With a wide magnification range and a robust design, it suits a variety of field scenarios from dawn patrols to long-range sessions at the range.

Optical clarity that stays true

Extra-Low Dispersion glass significantly reduces chromatic aberration, delivering a bright, sharp image with true color across the entire zoom range. Expect crisp silhouettes, clearer target edges, and improved contrast as you scan and dial in.

• Chromatic aberration minimized for crisper targets
• Edge-to-edge sharpness across 4.5-30x magnification

Low-light readiness and reticle versatility

The illuminated reticle improves visibility during dawn, dusk, and shaded conditions, while the First Focal Plane reticle scales with magnification so holds stay consistent as you zoom. The APRS6 IR illumination adds an adjustable light channel for changing light scenarios.

• Illuminated reticle for better visibility in low ambient light
• First Focal Plane reticle maintains proportional holds across powers

Durable build and precise handling

The reticle is etched on glass for rugged durability, while the 34mm main tube supports a robust elevation and windage range. Direct dial knobs enable fast, tactile elevation adjustments, and side focus helps with parallax control in varied distances. The Mil matte finish reduces glare in the field.

• Etched-on-glass reticle for rugged reliability
• Direct dial elevation adjustments for quick, repeatable tuning

Designed for real-world use

Built for long-range setups and versatile field work, this scope shines in hunting at dawn or dusk and precision shooting conditions where consistent holds matter. It’s a capable component for a complete precision setup without guarantees of outcome.
