Driven hunts give you a target window measured in seconds — a scope that isn't ready when you shoulder the rifle costs you the shot. The Alpen Apex XP 1-6x24 with SmartDot automatically illuminates the reticle the moment you bring the rifle up, using an accelerometer to activate instantly without reaching for a button. A 38.5-meter field of view at 100 meters lets you track fast-moving game with both eyes open, and the SmartDot turns off automatically when you lower the rifle to conserve battery.

Key Features

• Exceptional Field of View — 38.5 meters at 100 meters (1x) gives you panoramic situational awareness for driven hunts, allowing fast target acquisition and tracking through dense cover.

• SmartDot Auto-Activation — A built-in tilt sensor detects your rifle's position and activates the illuminated red dot instantly across 10 brightness levels. The reticle enters sleep mode when you lower the rifle and wakes in milliseconds when you raise it again.

• FluoDigits Zoom Display — Fluorescent magnification numbers charge in daylight and glow discreetly in low light, letting you confirm your zoom setting without a flashlight and without revealing your position.

• UBX Fully Multi-Coated Optics — Alpen's proprietary lens coating delivers up to 95% light transmission for bright, high-contrast images from dawn through last light.

• Duplex Illuminated Reticle — A clean, fast-acquisition reticle in the second focal plane with an illuminated center dot. The SFP placement keeps the reticle consistent across the full 1–6x range for instinctive aiming at close quarters.

• Precise MRAD Adjustments — True 0.1 MRAD elevation and windage clicks with a zero stop function for confident adjustments and reliable return to zero.

• Built for Harsh Conditions — IPX7 waterproof and submersible to 3 meters, nitrogen-purged for fog resistance, and tested to withstand 1,000 g of recoil for magnum-caliber use.

• Ultra-Compact and Lightweight — At just 262 mm long and 534 g, this is one of the shortest and lightest scopes in its class — ideal for fast-handling rifles and hunters who run clip-on attachments.

Ideal For

• Driven hunt specialists who need maximum field of view and instant target acquisition — the 38.5 m FOV at 1x is purpose-built for tracking game breaking through cover.

• Close-quarters and brush hunters who need a true low-power variable optic that works as fast as a red dot at 1x while offering 6x for confirming shots at moderate distance.

• Hunters using clip-on attachments — the ultra-compact 262 mm length and 534 g weight leave room for night vision or thermal devices without excess weight.

• Shooters who value intuitive operation — SmartDot, FluoDigits, and zero stop minimize the things you need to manage in the field so you can focus on the shot.
