ALPEN OPTICS Apex LT riflescope 2–12x44 A4 with SmartDot technology

Product information

The ALPEN OPTICS Apex LT 2–12x44 is a universal riflescope designed for day and twilight hunting. It has a tube diameter of 30 mm and comes with the German #4 illuminated reticle, which is located in the second focal plane and does not increase in size when you zoom in. This means that you don't need to do any calculation using the MOA (minute of angle) method. The reticle can be easily adjusted with MRAD - i.e. 1 click = 1 cm at 100 metres.

Short & Crisp

  • Premium riflescope with German #4 illuminated reticle for day and twilight hunts
  • Short dimensions and lightweight design (710 g), ideal for use with attachments
  • Premium coating for crystal-clear, razor-sharp images
  • Innovative SmartDot technology saves energy and time
  • Reticle in the second focal plane
  • Reticle adjustment with MRAD
  • Waterproof and recoil-proof

Lightweight and durable design

Thanks to the short dimensions and lightweight design (710 g), the riflescope is ideal for use with attachments. It is also recoil-proof and features a waterproof housing to enable use in adverse weather conditions.

Coating

The riflescope features an innovative and premium coating that renders images in crystal-clear, razor-sharp detail.

Innovative SmartDot technology
MADE IN GERMANY

The riflescope comes with SmartDot technology, which reduces battery consumption and saves you time. Thanks to the built-in tilt sensor, the light point switches on and off automatically when you move the rifle to a shooting/idle position. The light unit is located on the left side of the tube. Due to the Smart Dot technology, the riflescope is always ready for use, saving you valuable time.

 

Weatherproof and recoil-proof

The premium ALPEN OPTICS riflescope is also suitable for use in adverse weather conditions. It is waterproof to up to 1 metre (IPX7), and can therefore withstand strong rain, snow, fog or even a short spell in a stream. The sturdy housing provides a reliable seal and prevents liquid from getting inside the optics. In addition, the optics are filled with nitrogen to prevent the lens from fogging up and obstructing your view in the event of abrupt changes in temperature. As a premium riflescope, the ALPEN OPTICS Apex LT is recoil-resistant up to 1,000 grams (equivalent to a Magnum caliber).

Particularly fine reticle

As little as possible of the target is covered, which leads to a much better overview.

Parallax compensation for perfect positioning

Simply set the parallax compensation to the desired range and the position of the reticle will remain the same. This is particularly useful if you look into the eyepiece at a slight angle, as the reticle will stay locked on your target.

Second focal plane (SFP) reticle

The reticle is located in the second focal plane, and therefore does not increase in size when you zoom in. As a result, the subtension depends on the zoom level.

Always spot on

Thanks to the innovative SmartDot technology with a built-in tilt sensor, the light spot switches on and off automatically based on the position of the rifle. This saves you valuable time and prevents the battery from draining.

More light for clearer images

The optics are fully coated with a premium multi-layer coating, which increases the light transmission to up to 95% to produce stunningly bright images.

Watertight design

Thanks to the waterproof housing that prevents liquids from reaching the inside of the optics, you don’t need to worry about heavy rain or dropping the binoculars in a puddle.

Weatherproof design

The binoculars are filled with nitrogen, which prevents the inside of the lenses from fogging up and obstructing your view during abrupt changes in temperature.

Premium recoil-resistant optics

This premium riflescope can withstand recoil forces of up to 1000 grams, equivalent to a Magnum caliber.

Shows your target in the right light

In general, larger tube diameters provide better light transmission. Featuring a tube diameter of 30 mm, this scope lets in plenty of light to render your target clearly.

Nitrogen filling

The temperature can change rapidly when you’re out in the wild. To prevent the lenses from fogging up on the inside and obstructing your view, the optics are filled with nitrogen.

Difference MOA and MRAD

The MOA and MRAD turrent systems refer to two different measurement systems: metric and imperial. The Metric and the Imperial. Thus, the imperial system uses MOA and inches, and the metric system uses MRAD and centimeters. Therefore, at some point the question arises which turrent system is the better one. First and foremost, it's a matter of habit and personal preference.

MOA

MOA stands for Minute Of Angle and corresponds to 1 / 60 of a degree. The system is suitable for those familiar with the imperial system, since it is calculated in inches. 1 MOA is equivalent to 1.047'' at 100 yd (2.9 cm at 100 m).

MRAD

MRAD stands for milliradian and is 1 / 1000 of a radian (angular measure). 0.1 MRAD / MIL is equivalent to 1 cm at 100 m and is suitable for those using the metric system. One advantage of the metric system is, that it is very easy to calculate. The shooting distance (unit meter) can be quickly converted into the unit of turret adjustment (centimeter). One click of an MRAD click adjustment thus corresponds to 3 cm (0.03 m) at a firing distance of 300 m. ALPEN Optics uses MRAD 0.1 click adjustments for all riflescopes.
