World’s first riflescope with an external thread for directly screw-mounted clip-on devices
With the world’s first integrated external thread on the objective, ALPEN OPTICS, in cooperation with Präzise Jagen, sets new standards in the connection between riflescope and clip-on technology. Instead of conventional clamping or plug-in solutions, the clip-on device is mounted directly via a precise screw connection on the riflescope – ensuring maximum stability, absolute repeatability, and reduced adapter weight.
In combination with the optional Präzise Jagen Fusion Adapter and the Präzise Jagen Duo Connector, the innovative thread system enables a play-free and permanently durable connection between the optic and the clip-on device. The direct form-fit connection creates an exceptionally robust unit that reliably withstands even strong recoil forces.
Another advantage: the compact design saves valuable space at the objective and ensures optimized weapon balance. This solution particularly excels in lightweight setups or combination firearms. At the same time, handling is noticeably improved – especially during extended use.
With this technical innovation, ALPEN OPTICS – in cooperation with Präzise Jagen – redefines the mounting of clip-on devices: more precise, more secure, and consistently practice-oriented.
Greater ease of use for maximum precision
The high-quality, rubberized adjustment elements allow precise operation even under adverse conditions. The elevation adjustment is equipped with a locking mechanism that reliably prevents accidental adjustment. In addition, the integrated Zero Stop enables a safe return to the zero position – a real advantage, especially when switching between different distances. And the throw lever speeds up magnification changes, allowing you to react in a flash in the field.
Greater Flexibility
The riflescope is compatible with the optional ALPEN OPTICS ballistic turret, which allows for individual configuration and easy adjustment up to 500 m.
Proven Optics
The riflescope features a 30 mm main tube diameter and is equipped with illuminated reticle 4. The reticle is located in the second focal plane (eyepiece focal plane) and does not enlarge with magnification. Reticle adjustment is easily made in MRAD, corresponding to 1 cm per click at 100 m.
Well-thought-out design
The short overall length and low weight of just 812 g provide ideal conditions for using the riflescope with clip-on devices. The new external thread makes mounting particularly convenient. In addition, the robust riflescope is recoil-resistant and, thanks to its waterproof housing, fully operational even under adverse weather conditions.
The Coating
A true hallmark of quality is the premium FMC multi-layer coating (Fully Multi Coated). It maximizes light transmission and minimizes distracting reflections. The result: a bright, high-contrast, edge-to-edge sharp image with an excellent level of detail – even in demanding lighting conditions.
Innovative SmartDot-Technologie
MADE IN GERMANY
The integrated SmartDot technology uses a tilt sensor to conserve battery power while ensuring the riflescope is always ready for use. The illuminated dot automatically activates when the rifle is brought into the firing position and switches off again when the rifle is lowered. The illumination unit is located on the left-hand side, combined with the parallax adjustment. This automatic control of the illuminated reticle not only saves energy but also ensures faster readiness, giving you valuable time when it matters most.
Fully weatherproof and recoil resistant
Even in demanding weather conditions, the high-quality optics from ALPEN OPTICS allow you to keep your target clearly in view. Heavy rain, snow, fog, or even brief immersion in water pose no problem for this riflescope, which is waterproof up to a depth of 1 m (IPX7). The robust, sealed housing reliably protects the internal components from moisture. To ensure clear vision during extreme temperature changes, the optics are nitrogen filled, preventing internal fogging. As a true premium riflescope, the ALPEN OPTICS Apex LT is also recoil resistant up to 1,000 g for magnum calibres.
What Others Are Saying
The video addresses a common issue with clip-on adapters mounted on riflescopes: the adapter tends to slide forward under recoil and does not remain securely in place. The presenter explains why many supposed “solutions” fail to provide a lasting fix and analyzes the underlying causes of the problem – a frustrating technical challenge in real-world use for owners of clip-on systems.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Zero stop
This riflescope is equipped with a zero stop function so that you can readjust the optics, e.g. due to a change in the wind conditions. With a correctly configured zero stop, you can return to the zero position without conducting a visual check. The zero stop prevents you from going below the zero position.
Withstands streams and heavy rain
A brief moment of inattention and the binoculars end up in a puddle. No problem – the waterproof housing reliably keeps liquids out of the optics. Even during heavy downpours, no water can penetrate the interior.
Fusion Adapter Compatible
This riflescope is prepared for use with the optional Fusion Adapter. Thanks to the integrated external thread, a clip-on device is not mounted via a clamping sleeve but through a direct screw connection. This ensures an exceptionally stable, play-free, and repeatable setup – while maintaining a compact design and optimized balance.
Ballistic Turret Compatible
This riflescope is compatible with the optionally available ballistic turret. After individual calibration to your ammunition and preferred distances, different shooting ranges can be adjusted quickly and precisely. Once set up, a simple turn of the turret allows you to reliably select the desired distance – ensuring maximum control and confidence when engaging targets at varying ranges.Technical Specifications

Difference MOA andd 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.
