Reviews & Ratings for Athlon Optics Cronus BTR Gen II UHD APRS6 4.5-29x56mm Rifle Scopes — 6 reviews — Page 1

Optic definitely punches above its price point. I have only been able to use it Within 150yards and clarity is high, even with the sun in my face. Turrets feel very solid, albeit a little tight. Zero stop works excellent and prevents you from accidentally losing zero on other optics such as Arken where I have seen the zero stop fail mid match. Definitely worth the money if you’re looking to step up

Excellent scope for the price. Build is top quality and directly comparable to scopes costing 3X the price. For 99% of people buying a precision scope, this one cannot be beat for the price. That said, it is not without its flaws. Particularly, the optical clarity starts to drop significantly at very long range (1000 yards) and especially so in hot conditions. Now, there are not many scopes that offer a high degree of clarity in these sorts of conditions at extreme distances, this is where your money is going when you spend $3000+ on a riflescope. Bottom line, if your use is limited to shots less than 1000 yards then this scope will provide quality and perforance on par with the most expensive models, but if you plan on consistantly taking critical shots at extreme distances of 1000 yards or greater, you will want to pony up and look into a higher end model with optics optimized for that purpose. I gave the review 4 stars since the scope is advertised as a long range scope but is really more of an extended mid range scope with a very high end build quality.

This is my 3rd Cronus and they are great scopes. Great glass and tracking is spot on. IMO they are the best bang for your buck when it comes to long range scopes.

Great scope for the money. It is like any higher end scope, only it is way better priced. The turrets are very positive and the glass is bright. Tracks great.

Best value in its class. Crisp visuals. Great eye relief. Compared directly to Vortex Razor HD and prefer the Athlon.
