In my review of this beautiful Ares ETR 4.5-30x56 rifle scope I will touch upon some of its specifications and features, but for a full description and breakdown of all of its wonderful features and specifications you may go to: https://athlonoptics.com/product/ares-etr-4-5-30x56-aprs6-ffp-ir-mil-uhd/
The retail price of these scopes is only $1199.99. These scopes are frequently used by shooters competing in Extreme Long Range & Ultra Long Distance Practical Precision shooting competitions where they are shooting targets at ranges out to 1800 meters which is 1968 yards - 1760 yards in a mile. This is a serious scope for serious shooters. So for you guys that want to shoot long range with your Air Rifle or Powder Burners this is the scope for you.
Some of the wonderful features includes a Precision Erector System with stainless steel internal components that produce very sharp, loud, tactile clicks that you can readily hear and feel so there is no mistaking how many clicks you put on your elevation or windage turrets. And an added bonus is the windage turret has a pull up/ push down Locking Turret Cap. The elevation turret also has a dedicated Zero Stop that is very simple to set up.
This scope uses an Etched Glass Reticle with four options and a 34mm main tube. The reticle is in the First Focal Plane which means that the hashmarks on the reticle are valid at all power settings. It has a massive 56mm objective lens and uses Extra Low Dispersion Glass and true Multi-Coated Lenses to produce the sharpest image possible. You will truly appreciate the way these lens coatings cut through the mirage effect so your target is in clear relief as opposed to the guy next to you that's looking at a target that's dancing in the mirage.
This scope features MIL/MIL or MOA/MOA turret/reticle combinations to prevent any confusion when calculating your holdovers. It has a total elevation & windage adjustment of 32 MILS with 10 MILS per turret rotation; or a total elevation & windage adjustment of 110 MOA with 25 MOA per turret rotation. It features a side focus parallax adjustment from 25 yards to infinity - this scope would not be your first choice for shooting targets at 10 yards.
The tube is purged with Argon Gas that is far superior to Nitrogen gas purged scopes because it gives you much better water proofing and most importantly the very best thermal stability possible - so that when you take your rifle out of your nice toasty warm pickup truck on a bitter cold morning your scope will never ever fog up on you! Or conversely if you take your rifle out of your ice cold air conditioned pickup truck on a sweltering ungodly hot day your scope will not fog up on you!
In conclusion, let me say that I don't think there is any other 4.5-30x56 scope with a 34mm tube that can come close to this one from Athlon for the low price of $1199.99. When you hold this scope in your hands and look through it you get the same feeling as when you first sit in an expensive luxury car...its that feeling of being in the presence of a super powerful luxurious precision machine. You will immediately sense that you are holding something very special.
The sight picture through this scope is nothing short of spectacular and has to be seen to be believed. This Ares ETR 4.5-30x56 has my highest personal recommendation, so before you spend your hard earned money on any other long range high powered scope take a good look at this one.

By not adding illumination Athlon is able to offer these top of the line scopes for a much more affordable price. This puts some of their top scopes within the reach of guys that otherwise could not afford them, and for guys that don't ever use the illumination anyway.
