ALPEN OPTICS Apex XP 5-30x56 BDC riflescope with SmartDot technology

Product informationen

The ALPEN OPTICS Apex XP 5–30x56 riflescope with ED (Extra Low Dispersion) glass was specially designed for long-range shots and has a tube diameter of 34 mm. The premium optics are equipped with the innovative BDC illuminated reticle, which is located in the first focal plane and therefore increases in size with the zoom level. The reticle can be easily adjusted with MRAD - i.e. 1 click = 1 cm at 100 metres. This means that you don't need to do any calculations using the MOA (minute of angle) system. In addition, the ALPEN OPTICS Apex XP 5–30x56 is also waterproof and recoil-proof, making it suitable for a wide range of conditions.

Short & crisp

  • Premium riflescope with ED glass and innovative BDC illuminated reticle
  • Specially designed for long-range shots
  • Zoom with FluoDigits technology (fluorescent zoom digits)
  • Innovative, premium coating for crystal-clear, razor-sharp images
  • Innovative SmartDot technology saves energy and time
  • Reticle in the first focal plane
  • Reticle adjustment with MRAD
  • Waterproof and recoil-proof

Zoom with FluoDigits technology

The zoom ring features a comfortable grooved design and can be moved effortlessly with a small knob. Thanks to the built-in FluoDigits technology, the riflescope is also ideal for use in low-light conditions and with attachments: the fluorescent zoom numbers display the zoom level discreetly during twilight or even in the dark without revealing your location - with a battery life of at least 5 hours.

Coating

The ALPEN OPTICS Apex XP 5–30x56 riflescope features an innovative and premium coating that produces a clear and razor-sharp image of your target.

Innovative SmartDot technology
MADE IN GERMANY

Energy-saving and always ready for action - thanks to the SmartDot technology and built-in tilt sensor, the illuminated reticle switches on and off automatically when you move the rifle to a shooting/idle position. In addition to prolonging the battery life, this also saves you valuable time. The light unit is located on the left side of the tube together with the parallax compensation to ensure that you can prepare for action as quickly as possible: As you'd expect, the riflescope also comes with a zero stop function.

Weatherproof and recoil-proof

Thanks to the premium ALPEN optics, the riflescope is also suitable for use in adverse weather conditions. It is waterproof to up to 3 metres (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 XP 5–30x56 is recoil-resistant up to 1000 grams (equivalent to a Magnum caliber).

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.

Keep track of the zoom level

Fluorescent zoom numbers on the eyepiece – the innovative FluoDigits technology displays the zoom level discreetly in low-light conditions so that you don’t reveal your location. Perfect for attachments!

Brighter images

The ultra-bright coating lets even more light into your eyes so that you won’t be left in the dark during twilight and in challenging light conditions.

Detailed, high-resolution images

Ideal for hiking, hunting and trekking – the high-definition optics produce an outstanding image in all types of conditions. The surroundings are rendered in high resolution and stunning detail. In addition, the high-performance HD glass has a very high light transmission, and produces bright images even in adverse weather and light conditions.

First focal plane (FFP) reticle

The reticle is located in the first focal plane, and therefore increases in size when you zoom in. This ensures that the subtension remains constant at all times.

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.

Perfect for high magnifications

Featuring a tube diameter of 34 mm, this scope lets in a large amount of light so that you can view bright images even at high magnifications.

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.

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.
