    Rifle Scopes Sig Tango6 2-12 discontinued?

    It has been discontinued from what I've been told. I have a 2-12 and like it. The glass is nice and I like the simple reticle although some might find it a little thick, which I believe they changed it this year. The illumination is fantastic as well. I wish the turret had a more "clicky" feel...

    No, I don't believe they are supposed to be illuminated, the older reticle numbers didn't illuminate. I have a BTR and my turrets aren't mushy at all.

    Well, don't bother as they will tell you it's within spec and nothing is wrong. They told me that all of them were like that. I will say that they where very responsive and helpful. They sent me another one and threw in a sunshade for free (although the black isn't the same so it doesn't...

    Help me decide on a McMillan stock for my purposes please

    I have a Grayboe Renegade and love it. It's not the lightest but solid and well built. If you like the A5 then it's a great alternative.

    Rifle Scopes I need opinions/thoughts

    Yeah, once I get a new one back we'll see. I'm not worried about the blooming at high illum., so I might just not use the illumination at all or only on 1 or 2 where you can't really see the issue.

    Rifle Scopes I need opinions/thoughts

    You know, I not making a big deal and IMO it's not "nothing" but your opinion is that it's nothing. I started this thread to ask others what they thought, many said it's not right and those "hash" marks on the 2's shouldn't look like that. Many have said, that it's not right but either live...

    Rifle Scopes Cronus clarity

    Thanks for letting me know yours has the same issue. I keep getting crap from people because I'm trying to point out the issue and they all basically say turn down the illumination and deal with it, which is not the answer, it's a manufacturing problem and I thought I'd bring it to people...

    Rifle Scopes I need opinions/thoughts

    Looks like your Cronus does the same. Again...this is exhausting, I don't care about the bloom, it will bloom on high, I know that. My comments on the blooming was just the blooming of the etch marks on the 2's, that is all. Is it usable, of course. Again, just pointing out what you see on...

    Rifle Scopes I need opinions/thoughts

    I think that everyone that is commenting on the bloom and that I turn it down is missing the point. I don't care about the bloom as I'll NEVER have it up that high. I am pointing out that even on low to mid illuminating the etching around 2's is evident and is a manufacturing issue. Some are...

    Rifle Scopes I need opinions/thoughts

    They haven't said it's by design or not, only that it passes QC. Let me just say again, that the communication with Athlon has been great. In our conversations though, there hasn't been, "I see what you're seeing, or it is/isn't supposed to be like that. So, I guess I wish that they were more...

    Rifle Scopes I need opinions/thoughts

    I don't know as no one else with a Cronus BTR has responded. Athlon says the ones they have in stock all have a variation of that. I wonder if it's just a bad batch, so I'd like to hear from other Cronus BTR owners.

    Rifle Scopes I need opinions/thoughts

    I agree, I won't notice it if I don't illuminate the reticle. I'm torn because in one hand, I think the glass and reticle are darn good, but on the other, it's difficult to spend that amount of cash for something that shouldn't be that way and isn't that way on cheaper alternatives however, I...

    You know what is funny, I've posted those photos on other posts asking the same question and guess what, NOT one reply, so thanks for your reply, I appreciate it.

    Rifle Scopes I need opinions/thoughts

    Well, if you have that thought process with everything you buy, your life must suck and that's your problem for accepting mediocrity. You know my mama always said that if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it. So your comment is pointless and to take the time to write that is a...

    May I ask if yours has these etchings on the 2's when illuminated? I'm trying to find out if this is normal. Thanks

    HAHA nope.

    Rifle Scopes I need opinions/thoughts

    Thanks for checking! The blooming isn't much of an issue, it's just those three stray etchings on the 2's. Athlon didn't tell me to pound sand, they're communication had been excellent. They did say that they checked a case of Cronus BTR's and they all have that. It's not clear to me yet, if he...

    Rifle Scopes I need opinions/thoughts

    Well, I don't illuminate full blast so no, the blooming doesn't matter much to me, what does though is the three etch marks on the 2's that I can see at low to medium illumination and it's distracting. The last thing I want on my scope is to see something distracting and out of the ordinary...

    Gotcha. Still, I don't think it should look like that.
