ALPEN OPTICS APEX LT Riflescope 2.5–15x56 A4 Gen 2

Product informationen

The ALPEN OPTICS Apex LT 2.5–15x56 Gen 2 is the ideal twilight hunting riflescope – now enhanced with well-thought-out improvements. The second generation of this proven optic continues to impress with its high magnification (15x) and large 56 mm objective diameter. In addition, several effective optimizations have been implemented that truly make a difference in real-world use.

Short & Crisp

  • High-quality twilight hunting riflescope with illuminated reticle 4
  • High magnification and large objective diameter
  • Excellent coating for exceptionally clear, edge-to-edge sharp viewing
  • Innovative SmartDot technology for energy and time savings
  • Reticle in the second focal plane (eyepiece focal plane)
  • MRAD reticle adjustment
  • Compatible with ballistic turret (Item no.: 15682)
  • Zero stop for easy return to zero
  • Robust, rubberized adjustment controls

Greater Ease of Use for Maximum Precision

The high-quality, rubberized adjustment controls allow precise settings even under adverse conditions. In addition, the elevation adjustment is equipped with a locking mechanism that reliably secures your chosen setting. The integrated zero stop enables a quick return to the zero position – a real advantage when switching between different distances. The riflescope is also compatible with the optional ballistic turret (Item no.: 15682), which allows for individual configuration and easy adjustment up to 500 m.

Proven optical performance

This high-quality riflescope features a 30 mm main tube diameter. It is equipped with illuminated reticle 4 (A4), positioned in the second focal plane (eyepiece focal plane), meaning the reticle does not enlarge with magnification. Reticle adjustment is simple and precise in 0.1 MRAD clicks – corresponding to 1 cm at 100 m. This eliminates the need for conversions using M.O.A. (Minute of Angle). In terms of build quality, the ALPEN OPTICS Apex LT 2.5–15x56 Gen 2 also impresses, as it is both waterproof and recoil-proof.

High-quality lens coatings

A true hallmark of quality is the premium FMC multi-layer coating (Fully Multi Coated). It maximizes light transmission and reduces distracting reflections to a minimum. The result: a bright, high-contrast, edge-to-edge sharp image with excellent 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 adverse weather conditions, the high-quality optics from ALPEN OPTICS keep your target clearly in sight. Heavy rain, snow, fog, or even brief immersion in a stream pose no problem for this riflescope, which is waterproof up to 1 m (IPX7). The robust housing is tightly sealed and reliably keeps moisture out. To ensure a clear view even during extreme temperature fluctuations, the optics are nitrogen filled to prevent internal fogging. As a true premium riflescope, the ALPEN OPTICS Apex LT Gen 2 is, of course, recoil-resistant up to 1,000 g for magnum calibers.

Side Parallax Adjustment

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.
Fully Multi-Coated Lenses

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.
SmartDot Technology

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

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.
Fogproof

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.
Shootproof

Premium recoil-resistant optics

This premium riflescope can withstand recoil forces of up to 1000 grams, equivalent to a Magnum caliber.
Tube Diameter 30mm

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 Purged

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 Function

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.
Waterproof housing

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.
Ballistic turret compatible

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.

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.

MOA

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
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.
