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!

ok Here is my review of the athlon cronus btr scope so far. I am comparing it to my vortex razor hd amg 6x24x50mm ffp scope. It’s retail is 2500.00 and a fine scope at that. I kept hearing how clear and good the athlon scopes were so I took a chance and glad I did. Comparing the two scopes side by side far as clarity and sharpness the athlon actually edges out the razor amg. It actually kind of made me sick at my stomach a 700.00 less scope is out performing the more expensive scope. Now the razor amg has a few features that the Cronus doesn’t like locking turrets and illumination seams a little better if you use this sort of thing I usually do not. Now the magnification the razor looks almost as magnified at 24 as the Cronus does at 29 at far distances they look almost the same on max magnification between them but you can see better and a little clearer on the athlon cronus btr. Now far as tracking it has been spot on and it’s held zero so far. Only complaint is I really think a 1800.00 should come with lens covers and a sunshade but comparing to a scope at 700.00 more. You can purchase a set of lens and a sunshade for less than a 100.00 and I wish you hey had locking turrets although the zero stop is nice and easy to set as well as turrets have good resistance and audible clicks when turning it. This scope is a real deal for a tier 1 quality scope. Thanks

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!

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.
