Better glass - Athlon Optics Cronus BTR Gen II UHD 4.5-29x56mm 34mm Tube Rifle Scopes, FFP

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.
