Athlon Optics Midas Tac Hd 5-25X56Mm Ffp Aplr3 Mil Black$644.69
Availability: In Stock
The Athlon Optics Midas Tac HD 6-24x50mm FFP scope is a versatile first focal plane rifle scope built for shooters who demand optical clarity, reliable elevation and windage control, and fast target acquisition across hunting and tactical applications. Housed in a durable 30mm aircraft-grade aluminum tube, this scope delivers HD glass and fully multicoated lenses to maximize light transmission and image contrast whether you're dialing long-range precision shots or working fast at moderate distances.
The APRS3 mil reticle serves double duty as a ranging tool, letting you estimate distance and hold points without hunting for a separate ballistic card. First focal plane design means the reticle scales with magnification, so holdover values stay true across the entire zoom range—a huge advantage for variable-power setups. The hard zero stop prevents overshooting zero during elevation adjustments, giving you repeatable confidence that your dope stays locked. A capped windage turret rounds out the design, reducing the risk of accidental drift from bumps and snags in the field.
Whether you're building a long-range hunting rifle, running a precision 3-gun setup, or setting up a tactical platform, the Midas Tac HD handles the job without unnecessary complexity or premium pricing. Athlon listened to shooter feedback to pack real features—not marketing buzz—into a scope that works.
| Magnification | 6-24x |
| Objective Lens | 50mm |
| Tube Diameter | 30mm |
| Tube Material | Aircraft-grade aluminum |
| Reticle Type | APRS3 mil (first focal plane) |
| Reticle Features | Ranging reticle |
| Lens Coating | Fully multicoated |
| Optical Grade | HD glass |
| Windage Turret | Capped |
| Elevation Control | Hard zero stop |
| Color | Black |
First focal plane (FFP) means the reticle sits in front of the erector lens, so it magnifies along with the image. This makes holdover values accurate at any magnification you're using—crucial for dialing shots at distance or holdover hunting where you might adjust magnification between shooting positions. Second focal plane scopes require you to dial at one specific power, which limits flexibility in the field.
Yes. The APRS3 mil reticle includes ranging marks that let you estimate target distance based on target size and reticle subtension. This saves time in the field and lets you make holdover decisions without external ballistics calculators or rangefinders, though pairing it with a rangefinder gives you confirmed data for precision long-range shots.
A hard zero stop prevents your elevation turret from rotating past your zero point when you're dialing down. This means you can't accidentally over-turn and lose your zero, then add it back without realizing it. Once you establish your true zero, it becomes a mechanical reference you can trust through the entire adjustment range.
The 6-24x50mm range works well for hunting (6x for close-range brush work, up to 24x for precision across medium to long distances) and tactical applications requiring fast target pickup and accurate dialing. The 50mm objective is a solid middle ground—it gathers plenty of light without making the scope unnecessarily heavy or bulky on your rifle.
