FAQ

How does the ACSS Athena BPR MIL reticle improve long-range shooting? The first focal plane design maintains reticle accuracy across all magnifications, allowing shooters to use holdovers and ranging marks precisely. The 50 MIL holdover grid simplifies corrections for bullet drop without adjusting turrets during engagement.

Is the scope durable enough for tactical use? Yes, the 6061-T6 aluminum body combined with steel-on-steel turret mechanisms provides a rugged design that withstands heavy use and recoil, while locking turrets prevent zero shifts from impacts or rough handling.

Can I customize the magnification lever? The included lever uses a dovetail mount, enabling easy replacement with folding UML levers or future upgrades. This flexibility allows customization based on personal preference and shooting style.

What maintenance is required to keep this scope performing? Regular cleaning of lenses with appropriate materials and ensuring turret caps and seals remain intact will maintain optimal performance. The illuminated reticle battery should be checked periodically and replaced as needed.

How does this scope compare to other mid-tier tactical scopes? The GLx 3-18x44 stands out with its long elevation travel, locking turrets with Easy Stop®, and a sophisticated illuminated ACSS reticle, offering features typically found in higher-end optics at a more accessible price point.
