Athlon Midas HMR
Introducing the Midas HMR HD riflescope line—crafted by hunters, for hunters! This exceptional scope features HD glass and advanced fully multi-coated optics, ensuring crisp and bright images for both short and long-range shots. Built from a one-piece tube of aircraft-grade aluminum, it guarantees precise and accurate performance throughout the day. The Midas HMR HD includes capped elevation and windage turrets to protect your zero from unintentional adjustments, providing confidence in every shot. With a 0.25 MOA click value and a total of 60 MOA adjustment, you can easily fine-tune your aim. The parallax adjustment ranges from 10 yards to infinity, catering to a variety of shooting situations. The illuminated reticle enhances visibility during low-light conditions, making it ideal for dawn and dusk hunting. The fully multi-coated optics effectively reduce reflected light, significantly increasing light transmission for a brighter image compared to standard lenses.
