Athlon Midas HMR 2-12x42 Gen2

• Compact Hunting Riflescope: A length of 305 mm and a weight of 539 g make this riflescope easy to carry on stalks and well suited to lighter hunting rifles.
• Illuminated Second Focal Plane Reticle: Available with the AHMC1 or APLR-H2 MOA reticle, or the APRS-H2 MIL reticle, each with an illuminated aiming point that remains clearly visible in low light.
• Side Focus Parallax Adjustment: Parallax can be corrected from 10 yards (9.1 m) to infinity, ensuring a sharp image and accurate aiming at close range as well as at longer distances.
• Durable One-Piece Construction: The one-piece aircraft-grade aluminum 30 mm tube is argon purged, waterproof, fogproof and shockproof, keeping the riflescope reliable in rain, snow and sudden temperature changes.

ABOUT THE ATHLON MIDAS HMR GEN2 SERIES

The Athlon Midas HMR Gen2 series is the second generation of Athlon's Midas HMR hunting riflescope family. It is designed for hunters who need dependable performance in changing light and weather conditions – from stalking and high-seat hunting to shooting across open fields.

The series includes three magnification ranges: 2-12x42, 2.5-15x50 and 4-24x50. All models are built on a 30 mm main tube and use a second focal plane (SFP) reticle, which keeps the reticle the same size at every magnification setting, so it remains clearly visible even at the lowest power. Depending on the model, hunters can choose between MOA reticles such as the AHMC1, APLR-H2 and BDC 600A, or the MIL-based APRS-H2, all of them illuminated.

Fully multi-coated lenses provide a bright, high-contrast image with true colour rendition across the light spectrum. The one-piece aircraft-grade aluminum tube is argon purged – according to Athlon, argon's lower thermal conductivity compared to nitrogen improves fogproof performance. Every model in the series is waterproof, fogproof and shockproof, making the Midas HMR Gen2 a practical choice for demanding, real-world hunting conditions.

ABOUT THE MODEL (ATHLON MIDAS HMR GEN2 2-12X42)

The Athlon Midas HMR Gen2 2-12x42 is the most compact model in the series, combining a 6× zoom ratio with a 42 mm objective lens. At 2×, the wide field of view of 18.6 m at 100 m makes it easy to pick up moving game quickly, which is an advantage on driven hunts and in dense cover. At 12×, the riflescope offers enough magnification for precise shot placement at typical hunting distances. With a length of 305 mm and a weight of 539 g, it keeps the rifle well balanced and easy to carry.

Three illuminated second focal plane reticles are available. The AHMC1 is a traditional hunting reticle with bold outer posts that step down to a fine crosshair and a floating illuminated centre dot, drawing the eye to the centre while obstructing as little of the target as possible. The APLR-H2 is an MOA reticle with 2 MOA subtensions and a floating illuminated 1 MOA centre crosshair, with only 10 MOA of vertical stadia above the centre. The APRS-H2 is a MIL reticle with 0.5 mil subtensions out to 4 mil and 0.2 mil subtensions beyond, an illuminated floating centre dot and no upper post, providing reference marks 6 mil to each side and 10 mil below the centre. All three reticles support holdovers, wind correction and ranging of targets of known size, with subtensions valid at 12×.

The turrets adjust in 0.25 MOA clicks with 25 MOA per rotation and 120 MOA of total elevation and windage travel on the MOA versions, or in 0.1 MIL clicks with 10 MIL per rotation and 35 MIL of total travel on the MIL version. The side focus parallax adjustment can be operated without breaking the shooting position, and an eye relief of 92 mm provides a comfortable shooting position.
