Athlon Helos BTR 2-12x42mm Riflescope 30mm Tube MIL Reticle

The Athlon Helos BTR 2-12x42mm delivers precision optics with versatile magnification for tactical applications and long-range shooting. This scope combines advanced glass technology with rugged construction to provide clear target acquisition across varying distances and lighting conditions.

What Makes This Different

The Helos BTR features fully multi-coated lenses that transmit 89% of available light, significantly outperforming standard scopes that typically achieve 75-80% light transmission. The illuminated MIL reticle provides 11 brightness settings with off positions between each level for extended battery life. The 30mm main tube offers 40% more internal adjustment range compared to 1-inch tubes, enabling precise tracking across longer distances.

Key Features

• 2-12x magnification range with 42mm objective lens for versatile target engagement
• Illuminated MIL reticle with 11 brightness levels and off positions
• 30mm aircraft-grade aluminum tube with matte black anodized finish
• Fully multi-coated lenses delivering 89% light transmission
• Side focus parallax adjustment from 10 yards to infinity
