The short design and the low weight of only 615 g are the best prerequisites for using the rifle scope with attachments. In addition, the robust target optics are bulletproof and, with their waterproof housing, are fully operational even in adverse weather conditions.

For more ease of use, the zoom ring on the ALPEN OPTICS Apex XP 2.5–16x42 riflescope is pleasantly wide and can be moved with a small button. The integrated FluoDigits technology shows its strengths especially in poor lighting conditions and when using attachments at night. Because the slightly fluorescent magnification numbers allow you to see the zoom level immediately in dim light, without overpowering it. The numbers are no longer perceptible from a maximum distance of 1.5 m. This way you remain undetected and you can read the magnification numbers for at least 4 hours even in twilight or even darkness.

The telescopic sight has a new and extremely high-quality coating. The result is something to be proud of: an absolutely clear view with sharp edges.

Less battery consumption and the fastest possible readiness for use – this is where the new SmartDot technology integrated into the riflescope scores. This automatic illuminated reticle switch-off works via an inclination sensor: When the rifle is brought to the ready, the illuminated dot comes on automatically. If it then comes back into a non-shooting position, it switches itself off immediately. The lighting unit is located on the left side of the tube. The scope is always ready for use and you save valuable time. In addition, the ALPEN OPTICS Apex XP 2.5-16x42 was of course equipped with a zero stop.

Even in unfavorable weather conditions, you can keep your sights firmly on your target thanks to the high-quality ALPEN optics. Heavy rain, snow, fog or even a short dive in a stream don't bother the up to 3 m waterproof rifle scope (IPX7). The stable housing keeps watertight and liquids reliably away from the inside. The optics were also filled with nitrogen for your perfect view even with extremely fluctuating temperatures. This way the lenses cannot fog up from the inside. As a real premium rifle scope, the ALPEN OPTICS Apex XP 2.5-16x42 is of course bulletproof up to 1000g Magnum caliber.
