Athlon Cronus BTR G1:
Just got my used Athlon Cronus BTR, thank you nice SH seller! I will spare you the verbose review, but first state that I have spent one billion dollars on optics over the years. If this BTR tracks and is mechanically as sound as the glass is nice, then this optic is a winner. SnB it is not, but close enough too not need an SnB from my first impression.
feels solid
turrets, good enough
nice fine reticle with hold over sub tensions
excellent clear image
tracking? will see...
I would say that Athlon now needs a 4-16x with the same glass and standards/pedigree in 34mm with 42mm objective for big gas guns or lite 308 usage. Under 30 oz preferable. Some mechanical turn indicator would be icing on the cake.
