AR-platform shooters need an LPVO where the BDC holdovers actually work across the zoom range — most second focal plane LPVOs only read true at one magnification, making the BDC marks decorative at any other setting. The Alpen Apex 1-6x24 puts an illuminated AR-BDC reticle in a first focal plane design that scales with magnification, so your holdovers stay accurate whether you're at 1x for CQB transitions or dialed to 6x for 300-yard precision.

Key Features

• First Focal Plane AR-BDC Reticle — A glass-etched, illuminated reticle calibrated for intuitive holdovers and ranging on AR-platform cartridges. The FFP design keeps subtension measurements accurate across all magnifications, and the illuminated center dot powered by a CR2032 battery provides fast aiming in low-light conditions.

• True 1x for Both-Eyes-Open Shooting — At 1x the Apex delivers a massive 109.6 ft field of view at 100 yards with no perceptible tunnel effect, letting you shoot with both eyes open for the situational awareness and speed that close-quarters work demands.

• Broad MOA Turret System — 0.25 MOA click adjustments with 25 MOA per rotation and a ±60 MOA elevation and windage range give you the dial-up capacity for offset mounts and extended engagements. A zero stop function ensures reliable return to zero.

• Fully Multi-Coated Optics — Multi-layer lens coatings deliver bright, high-contrast images from dawn through last light, with a generous 10 mm exit pupil at 1x for a forgiving, bright sight picture under pressure.

• Fixed 100-Yard Parallax — Optimized for the distances LPVO users operate at, the fixed parallax keeps the optic simple and fast with no extra knob to manage during dynamic shooting.

• Lightweight and Tough — At just 1.2 lbs in a 6061-T6 aluminum chassis, the Apex adds minimal weight to your rifle while delivering waterproof, fogproof, and 1,000 G shockproof durability.

Ideal For

• AR and modern sporting rifle shooters who need a true 1x LPVO for close-quarters speed and the ability to reach out to 300+ yards with accurate FFP holdovers.

• Competition and dynamic shooters who prioritize field of view, fast target transitions, and an illuminated aiming point for rapid stage-to-stage performance.

• Hunters in mixed terrain — from thick timber to open lanes — who want a lightweight optic that transitions instantly from wide-angle scanning to precise shot placement.

• Value-driven shooters who want FFP precision, illumination, and a complete accessory kit without a premium-brand price tag.
