Description
This has been rated as one of the best Rifle scopes out there. Whether you want precision long-range shooting, tactical applications, or extreme long range hunting adventures, the new Cronus BTR rifle scope is just what the doctor ordered. With all of the same key features of the Cronus line, the new Cronus BTR is redesigned to be even better! We improved the parallax adjustment yard markings to go from 25 yards to infinity.
We have added markings at 300, 500, 800 and 1600 yards. It has been designed with a new reticle, plus a re-designed the battery compartment to make it easier to adjust the illumination. The best just got better! If you are looking for the best in rifle scopes, look no further.
This Cronus BTR 4.5-29×56 Model has APRS first focal plane illuminated MIL reticle in it. Please click the link for detailed reticle subtension…

I love this riflescope crystal clear all the way to 29 power. Compared it to my vortex gen 2 R this Cronus BTR was a bit clearer when observing a target at 1100 yard . This scope is absolutely wonderful for the price

My son and I have been shooting the Cronus BTR riflescope at PRS events all season and love the product. Chrystal clear and the MILs are dead on and track true from windage and elevation adjustments. Zero stop works perfectly. Thanks Athlon!

Fantastic scope and competes with top tier scopes at a much more affordable price point. Nice crisp and clear glass with zero chromatic aberration, tracking is spot on, turret clicks are crisp, positive, audible and tactile. The illumination is true daylight bright (best I’ve seen other than my Aimpoints) and the parallax knob and magnification lever rotate smoothly. I still have to put some more time behind it, but so far it is right there with my Razors, Atacr F1, IOR’s, etc. Also, Athlons customer service is top notch and they are a pleasure to deal with. I highly recommend you try them out!

After seeing the improvements made on the second gen Midas and the world class service I had received I once again pulled the trigger. I now have the new Cronus BTR sitting on top of my RPR. My local range only goes out to 500 meters. Before all I could see were white medal gongs. But now I can see that those gongs are actually life size rabbits and chickens.
I’m very happy with my Athlon and plan on using them in the future for other builds. Keep up the good work guys and don’t lose focus on where you started!

Great optic. Feels well built. Magnification adjustment is very smooth with just the right amount of tension. Focus knob is the same, smooth and tension is good. Love the reticle in Mils. Glass blew me away, competes above it’s pay grade for sure. The turrets are tactile and audible, I love the feel. Unfortunately no locking turrets but not a dealbreaker for me. Not too heavy but not a lightweight either. Lighter than a razor gen 2. The CA is nearly non existent for my eye. Does darken slightly at full magnification but all optics I’ve used do the same or worse. Highly recommend this scope!

The milrad version of the Athlon Cronus BTR is an excellent scope. I bought it sight unseen after looking at other high end scopes, and the value seemed too good to pass up. I was able to mount the scope on a Friday, zero on a Saturday morning at a local match and hit targets based off of known drops from 93.5 to 1096 yards using the turret system. The tracking was spot on. The turrets and glass are great, and the zero stop is so simple to use. I compared to scopes that cost twice as much and I don’t feel like I am missing anything, but really feel like I got a great deal!

I use this scope in competitions a lot and get to compare it to nightforce, kahles, and vortex and I can honestly say I like this the best, straight forward design that is built to last and with some of the best glass in the world, would definitely recommend for a competition shooter or long range target shooter.
