Midas Tactical
(Includes Free Pro Series Throw Lever and Billet Level)
Here at Athlon Optics we have listened to your feedback and suggestions and developed the Midas Tactical. The Midas Tac is loaded with features including HD Glass, Fully Multi-Coated lenses to enhance target appearance at all distances, a hard Zero Stop for a repeatable return to zero, and a capped Windage Turret to prevent accidental adjustments. Add in First Focal plane and a Ranging Reticle, housed in a 30mm or 34mm Aircraft grade Aluminum tube. This is not just another option, but the solution!
Athlon Midas TAC 5-25×56 APRS3 FFP MIL is big brother in the Midas TAC family, this 5-25×56 first focal plane scope gives you even more versatility. A minimum parallax of 25 yards and 32 Mils of elevation travel makes this scope perfect for close range rimfire or long range engagement with standard and magnum calibers. HD glass and advanced Fully Multi-Coated lenses enhance target appearance at all distances. A true precision Zero Stop for a repeatable return to zero and a capped windage turret give confidence you’ll be able to make the shot.

Athlon Midas TAC 5-25×56 APRS3 FFP MIL Features
HD Glass | HD Glass gives you better light transmission, brighter, and sharper image. |
Non Illuminated Reticle | The non illuminated reticle rifle scope is battery free. |
First Focal Plane Reticle | First focal plane reticle stays valid at all power settings allowing you to fully utilize the specially designed reticle that shrinks or grows along with your target as you zoom in or out. The reticle offers quick target engagement at low power while offering precise holdover positions with finer details. |
Etched Glass Reticle | Reticle etched on the glass that provides excellent backing support for complex reticle design and offers great durability and much higher shock resistance to recoil |
Advanced Fully Multicoated | Fully Multicoated optics effectively reduces reflected light and increases the transmission of light giving you a brighter image than normal single coated lenses |
XPL Coating | XPL Coating gives you an extra protection on the exterior lenses from dirt, oil and scratches or anything else mother nature can throw at you. |
Precision Zero Stop System | The system allows you to lock down your zero position and dial back to it with a sharp and precise stop right at your zero mark even you are turning it in pitch-dark or blinded folded. |
High Precision Erector System | The high precision erector system processed by high precision CNC machine with +/- 0.0001mm tolerance level to provide you the most accurate power settings and smoothest magnification change |
Aircraft Grade Aluminum | The aircraft grade aluminum tube that has exceptional strength and superior mechanical integrity will protect these world class optics no matter what punishment you throw at it. |
Direct Dial Elevation Turret | Exposed Direct Dial Turret for elevation allows you to quickly make adjustment as you needed and engage your target within a blink of your eyes |
Capped Windage Turret | Capped Turret for windage assures you that your zero on the windage is always there and gives you the flexibility to dial as well after taking off the cap |
One Piece Tube Construction | Heat treated one piece tube gives the scope extra strength over multi-piece tubes. A one piece tube also is better at keeping moisture out thus keeping your scope fog proof for the life of the product |
Waterproof | Waterproof to protect the scope in the harshest weather conditions or if accidently submerged underwater |
Fog proof | Fog proof to allow you to immediately engage your target when you take your rifle to cold ambient temperature from warm inside |
Shockproof | Robust mechanical system with special designs on both control and erector system that give you the ultimate recoil resistance to withstand 1000G recoil for 1000 times. |
Argon Purged | Argon Purging uses the inertia gas with bigger size molecules to purge any moisture out of the tube giving you better waterproofing and thermal stability . |

Hunter Ostenson –
Absolutely the best scope I have ever owned. I have owned SWFA, Vortex, and Nikon optics over the course of my hunting and competition career…..and this is hands down the best scope I have ever used for either purpose. The floating dot in the middle makes shooting tight groups significantly easier and the level of tracking you get along with a 34mm tube for under a grand is astounding. I am 100% Athlon for life.
