Overview
The Ares G2 UHD is the scope that makes the premium 85mm tier optional for a lot of hunters. Athlon builds it around a UHD apochromatic lens system with ESP dielectric prism coatings rated above 99 percent reflectivity, and the result is high-magnification color correction that trades blows with scopes costing several hundred dollars more. The 20-60x range covers scanning and detail work, and at 70 oz it splits the difference between the lighter Razor and the heavier Leupold. Athlon backs it with the Gold lifetime warranty. It is the pick for a value-driven glassing kit where the buyer wants their money in the lens system rather than a badge.
Key Features
- UHD apochromatic lens system for premium-tier color correction
- ESP dielectric prism coating rated above 99 percent reflectivity
- Advanced fully multi-coated optics
- 20-60x range for both scanning and target detail
- Athlon Gold transferable lifetime warranty
Pros
- +Apochromatic UHD glass at a mid-tier price undercuts the premium 85mm field
- +ESP dielectric coatings give bright, high-contrast images
- +70 oz is lighter than the Leupold SX-4 for the same objective
- +Athlon Gold lifetime warranty is fully transferable
Cons
- −Resale and dealer network are thinner than Vortex or Leupold
- −47 ft field of view at 60x is the tightest top-end field in this guide
