Description
The ALPEN OPTICS Apex XP 2.5–16×42 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 calculations using the MOA (minute of angle) method. The reticle can be easily adjusted with MRAD – i.e. 1 click = 1 cm at 100 metres.

Lightweight and durable design
Thanks to the short dimensions and lightweight design (615 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.
Zoom with FluoDigits technology
The zoom ring features a comfortable grooved design, and can be moved effortlessly with a small knob. The riflescope also comes with FluoDigits technology, which is particularly useful in low-light conditions. The fluorescent zoom numbers display the zoom level discreetly during twilight without revealing your location – with a battery life of up to 5 hours. This function is also very practical for use with attachments.
Coating
Another highlight of the riflescope is the innovative and premium coating, which produces clear and razor-sharp images.
Innovative SmartDot Technology
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 2.5–16×42 is recoil-resistant up to 1000 grams (equivalent to a Magnum caliber).
MOA and MRAD Differences
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.
