Most Helpful Positive Review A bit hazy near the edges
I've seen YouTube videos comparing this scope to some of the top scopes on the market, like the Vortex Razor HD Gen II. He went into detail comparing feature to feature. I was blown away. It is a nice scope with great magnification but I have a bit of blurr around the outer rim. I don't have that with my PST Gen II and I have 3 of those nor my NightForce NX8. Not sure if I has to do with the Ocular adjustment not being set correctly but hey if it's that finicky to set then idk. Maybe it's a lemon idk. Shoot accurate and repeatable it's on my custom 6.5PRC. OPTICSPLANET, let me know if I'm doi...

Better glass

by Gorillas Big Brutus, from WY, United States Written on October 14, 2025
I don’t own any very expensive scopes. But I do own an Athlon Cronus G2, a Leupold Mark 4, and a Vortex Razor Gen II. They are all great scopes. But the Razor glass edge to edge clarity is not on par with the Cronus or Mark 4. And the difference is pretty obvious. I like all three scopes. The Razor has the best locking zerostop turrets and illumination dial. The Mark 4 is the lightest and the pr2 reticle is useful. I think the Cronus has the best reticle and the glass really gathers light during the last minute or so of shooting light. Maybe it’s a tie between the Mark 4 and Cronus on image quality, but the nod goes to the Cronus because it is illuminated and because the turrets are stiff and don’t move easily like on the Mark 4. The Razors of course don’t move accidentally at all. Overall, I think the Cronus wins.

Great scope for the money

by StoneSpear702, Verified Owner from NV, United States Written on October 10, 2025
This scope seems to be a great value for the money. I have used it so shoot 1350 yards, and can easily shoot out to 1500+. I have really liked usimg it on my rifle. You can spend the extra money on the vortex genii hd, or a nightforce, but you dont HAVE to with this scope

Amazing Scope

by GeneralKenobiWins, Verified Owner from CO, United States Written on May 18, 2025
For the prife this is one of the best scopes you can get. The glass clarity is on par with a Gen 2 Vortex Razor. The turret clicks are better than my Nightforce NX8 and positive enough that I am not concerned about accidentally dialing. I think the APRS6 is my favorite long range reticle with very clear marking. The illumination is significantly brighter than my Nightforce NX8, Vortex Razor Gen 2, and Leupold Mark 4HD and is very clearly visible in bright days or high fontract backdrops. This also feels very robust and durable. It's a heavy scope, but in comparison to the competition such as a Razor Gen 2 it is bearly 13 ounces lighter. The zero stop is easy to set and has a very positive stop when hit.
Pros:
  • field of view
  • Glass clarity
  • Bright illumination
  • Generous eyebox
  • amazing turrets
Cons:
  • None
Would recommend: Yes
