Athlon Illuminated Ahmr2 Moa Blackathlon Scope Helos Btr 2-12X42$589.99
Availability: In Stock
The Athlon Optics Helos BTR 2-12x42 illuminated rifle scope delivers solid glass and reliable mechanics at a price point that won't drain your hunting or range budget. This 2-12 magnification range works equally well for mid-range hunting, precision rifle work, or general-purpose shooting where versatility matters. The illuminated AHMR2 mil reticle keeps you on target in low light and gives you a choice between lit and traditional aiming points depending on conditions.
What sets the Helos BTR apart is its no-nonsense feature set: fully multi-coated lenses and XPL coatings work together to maximize light transmission and contrast across the brightness spectrum, from dawn timber hunts to overcast range days. The direct dial turrets lock into position once you've dialed in your holdover—a feature that brings the same confidence to long-range shooting that hunters expect from their gear. Zero stop elevation turret means you can dial back to your zero reference without guessing, which matters when you're stretching distance on a rifle.
This scope is built for shooters who want capability without compromise, whether you're dialing for distance at 500 yards or glassing game at closer range. The 42mm objective lens balances light gathering with reasonable riflescope weight and balance on most modern firearms. If you shoot in variable conditions—changing light, unknown distances, mixed terrain—the Helos BTR's magnification range and reticle flexibility adapt to your hunt or match without asking you to buy separate optics.
| Magnification | 2-12x |
| Objective Lens | 42mm |
| Reticle | Illuminated AHMR2 Mil |
| Turret Type | Direct Dial with Locking Elevation and Windage; Zero Stop |
| Lens Coating | Fully Multi-Coated with XPL coatings |
| Color | Black |
The 2-12x range makes this scope comfortable for hunting from close range out to mid-distance, and the magnification spread works well for precision rifle and long-range shooting where you need flexibility to dial between distances. The 42mm objective supports the full range without excessive weight.
Yes. The illuminated AHMR2 mil reticle and locking turrets with zero stop serve both disciplines well. The variable magnification lets you work at typical hunting distances while the turret precision and reticle design support longer-range adjustments and holds at the range.
The illuminated AHMR2 reticle has a powered illumination option, letting you light up the reticle in low-light conditions or choose unlit aiming if you prefer. This gives you the choice to use traditional sight picture or backlit reticle depending on hunting light or range conditions.
The direct dial elevation and windage turrets lock in position once you dial your adjustments. The zero stop on elevation means once you've established your zero, you can return to it quickly. Locking turrets prevent accidental bumps from changing your zero in the field or during transport.
