Rifle Scopes Athlon Cronus / Cronus BTR info please

The first shipment of the Cronus BTR is coming soon, maybe next month. I have one on order and can't wait to get it mounted. The preproduction version I fiddled with at the Shot Show had great "everything". Yes I'm admittedly biased but of all the scopes in that price range it's the one I would choose anyway based upon all it's merits. That's how much I liked the Cronus.
I reviewed one of the original Cronus 4.5-29's in early 2016 for a few months. The clicks were just short of the $3000 scopes but otherwise I found no fault, well except a sharpish edge on the mag lever. The same scope was sent to a PRS shooter who had success with it. Later last year the turrets were improved and a different type of grease was used which solved the slightly muted feeling of the clicks of the original version.

Several hundred reviews here from the old Scout site, many of them on the Cronus. Have fun!
