Probably right, that's getting down close to dealer price.
Rifle Scopes FFp scope under $1500
- Thread starter btstrohfus
- Start date
These prices were both from vendors as well as from general Internet searches. Would it be possible to have the vendors who may have seen this send me their best price on listed optics. Thank you
Has the athlon ares etr come out yet? Any reviews?
It's not expected until June, hoping the put that reticle in the Cronus.
I'm banking on a used gen 1 cronus but the ares etr is catching my eye.
Not sure if higher mag equates better glass ?
I have a GEN II Razor 3x18x50 and shoot to 1000yards regularly and have no problems spotting hits& misses but I'm a dinosaur still shooting 308 !
What round are you shooting ? , could be a factor for spotting hits if you are a 6mm kinda guy @ 18x .
I hunt with the GEN II for what I consider ATV / 4 mile Hike hunts but would leave it at home if I'm packing deep . The GEN II 18x does everything I need it to do but it's a little heavy . I'm looking for a sub $1,500.00 scope that weighs less but is comparable for my 300WM SAKO custom until I find it the GEN II will pull double duty !
So it looks like i can get the Steiner T5xi and the Cronus BTR within $50 or so. That being said, there seems to be alot of interest in the BTR, but only a mention or two about the Steiner. Is that due to the reticle, glass quality being superior, or personal preference. Looking to get one, but dont want to second guess myself.. thanks again.. And if anyone still needs the locations on these prices ive found just send me a message..
I have the Cronus BTR and the glass is very very good. I haven't looked through the Steiner T series but from what I've read on here over the years about the Steiner is that is ok but not as good as the Vortex Razor GenII. I've compared my Cronus BTR next to the Vortex AMG and I can't see a difference between the two.
