The Athlon Helos BTR 6-24x56mm delivers precision optics engineered for tactical applications and long-range shooting. This first focal plane riflescope combines advanced glass technology with robust construction to provide consistent performance across varying conditions. The 34mm main tube maximizes internal adjustment range while maintaining structural integrity under heavy recoil.
What Makes This Different
The Helos BTR features a true first focal plane design where the reticle scales proportionally with magnification changes, ensuring accurate holdovers and windage corrections at any power setting. The 56mm objective lens gathers 25% more light than standard 50mm scopes, extending usable shooting time during dawn and dusk conditions. Advanced fully multi-coated lenses deliver 89% light transmission with enhanced color fidelity and contrast.
Key Features
- 6-24x variable magnification with side focus parallax adjustment from 10 yards to infinity
- 56mm objective lens with advanced XPL coating for maximum light transmission
- 34mm one-piece aluminum tube with 80 MOA total elevation adjustment
- Illuminated MIL reticle with 11 brightness settings including off positions
- First focal plane reticle maintains subtension accuracy at all magnifications
- Argon gas purged and O-ring sealed for complete waterproof protection
- Aircraft-grade aluminum construction with matte black hard anodized finish
Field testing demonstrates consistent tracking performance with precise 0.1 MIL click adjustments that maintain zero through temperature fluctuations and sustained firing sequences. The scope performs reliably in competitive precision rifle matches, tactical training scenarios, and hunting applications requiring extended range capability. Fog-proof nitrogen purging prevents internal condensation during rapid temperature changes or high humidity conditions.
