The Helos BTR GEN2 1-10x28 is a second focal plane option for tactical shooters looking for the latest trend in optics at an affordable price. Accurately assess and engage silhouette-sized targets out to 700 yards using 68 or 69 gr .223/5.56 Nato cartridges with the ATMR4 SFP IR MOA reticle.

I like the scope for the price, however I will tell you the reticle is NOT calibrated for 69 grain 5.56 match ammo. I am not sure what it is calibrated for but if you look at the manual and coordinate it with a good ballistic calculator you can figure out. Its more like the 300 yard mark is 220 yards, and the 500 is 415 yards. Don't expect to put this on your 16 inch carbine and run out and shoot 500 yards with the exact ammo they recommend without doing some calculation or building a dope table first.
