    Rifle Scopes Thoughts on poss. selling Vortex Gen 2 4.5-27 for Cronus BTR 4.5-29 & XLR Element chassis

    That Cabela's one was a closeout on the original Cronus, not the BTR. Turrets and reticle were slightly different than the current BTR version. Hit up AthlonOpticsGuy on here, he will hook you up on the current best price.

    Rifle Scopes Scope Tracking Test / Tall Target Test Athlon Cronus BTR

    Precise measurements are the key. If your distance to target is off, even slightly, it could explain that deviation in your picture. Measure from the scope turret to the target. This was my dilemma as I was getting some conflicting readings. No access to a long tape measurer so I'm trusting that...

    Whatever the wait is....it's worth it for a JP.

    Rifle Scopes Scope Tracking Test / Tall Target Test Athlon Cronus BTR

    Have not done one of these in many years. My last time was with a top tier scope manufacturer back in 2003 or 04....and it did not go well. Rob 01 can attest. After reading some feedback in another thread, I decided it was time to do one today. Now I assumed that in today's day and age, with...

    Rifle Scopes Thoughts on poss. selling Vortex Gen 2 4.5-27 for Cronus BTR 4.5-29 & XLR Element chassis

    My math shows it's closer to 3 inches (2.88 inches) (edit on the tall target test) which translates to approx 8% off.....significant when thinking of scope reliability. I get what you mean regarding the actual distance though. Anything over 2% I would be unhappy with.....closer to 1% is...

    Hypno, good story. Thanks for the info. Looks like I will be doing a couple of Tall Target Tests......I have 2 Cronus BTR's. Fact vs emotion right there.

    Rifle Scopes Thoughts on poss. selling Vortex Gen 2 4.5-27 for Cronus BTR 4.5-29 & XLR Element chassis

    So much opinion vs. facts regarding optics.....it's always been like that here. I love Vortex and if you don't you're stupid. Think like me or else!! It's exhausting to read the never ending emotional outbursts. I've owned both a Vortex AMG and an Athlon Cronus BTR....compared them side by side...

    Rifle Scopes In need of honest opinions for some old man eyes...

    Are you sure staying at essentially the same magnification is going to do the trick? I've looked through a PST Gen 2 and owned an AMG. Never did a side by side comparison but recall the PST glass being nice and bright and very clear. AMG glass was very good too but I would not say its...

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Midas TAC 4-16x44 first impressions, and final review at bottom of thread.

    The single larger vertical screw holding down the elevation knob, as opposed to the 3 or 4 small horizontal screws on the original Ares, should be standard by Athlon.

    Funny how many of us here have similar likes. I just recently started watching Forged in Fire and am hooked.....my new favorite show while waiting for Game of Thrones to hurry the fuck up :) I also really like Forged in Fire, Knife Fight or Knife or Death.....whatever it's called.....very...

    No doubt Spuhr is good stuff, I can't justify spending that much on a mount. This scope leveler is the same principle.Works great if you have the right gap between flat part of scope and rail/mount...

    IMI RazorCore 77 sale

    My 20" JP did not like the IMI Razorcore. I want to say it was close to 1 moa from my JP. If you shoot some more, some group size info would be nice. FWIW, my JP likes Copper Creek 77gr Berget OTM Defender 69gr SMK Hornady Black 75gr Match The Copper Creek and Defender shoot .25 to .5 moa...

    Rifle Scopes Gen2 razor 4.5-27 vs Cronus Btr

    I did a write up last year on a comparison between a Vortex AMG and an Athlon Cronus BTR. The Photobucket images disappeared but I updated them with Imgur so they are visible again. They were through the scope pics using a cell phone camera.....too bad I don't still have the AMG or I could have...

    Rifle Scopes Anyone run a 16x for their main optic? regrets?

    Again, I'd rather have it and not need it......than need it and not have it.
