After reading numerous reviews and watching numerous review videos, I decided to give this Athlon Chronus Gen II 20-60X86mm UHD a try. Ordering and shipping of the spotting scope went without any issues whatsoever so ever. Upon first inspection the spotting scope looked like a very we built and quality product. I mounted it onto my bipod and inspected the optical quality. First thing I noticed it at 20X magnification, the picture was very clear. After increasing magnification, you can really notice that the image starts to degrade once you pass the 40X threshold. At 60X, it also seems like you are looking through a window screen and it also feels like you are chasing the eye box around in the eyepiece. I feel that at 60X while viewing over a mile, that you could identify animals, but I also feel like there would be needed detail lacking. I opted to return this spotting scope as the optical quality was not really up to my standards. The RMA process with optics planet was painless transaction. I will do business with them later on in the future.
