Description
The Athlon Optics 4.5-29x56 Cronus BTR Gen2 Rifle Scope offers updated technology compared to previous scopes. It uses a 34mm aircraft-grade aluminum one piece tube that is heat-treated for additional durability, as well as a 56mm objective lens that delivers crisp views for situations where precision is paramount, such as PRS shooting.
The scope is shockproof, waterproof, and argon purged for enhanced fogproofing, so it is reliable and works well in a variety of conditions. In addition, it utilizes XPL protective coating on its advanced fully-multicoated lenses with UHD glass to provide superb results with very low dispersion even in low light situations or inclement weather.
The Athlon Optics 4.5-29x56 Cronus BTR Gen2 uses the updated precision zero stop system with a hard stop, and upgraded stainless steel components in the turrets with well-defined clicks that can be felt and heard. The turrets are exposed, and the elevation turret adjusts in a range of 32 MIL, and the windage turret adjusts in a range of 18 MIL, both using .1 MIL increments and 10 MIL per revolution.
The APRS1 FFP (First Focal Plane) MIL reticle utilizes etched glass and a variety of dots and hash marks to make aiming simple and fast, allowing excellent outcomes for target shooting and hunting. It also has illumination that can be activated in multiple levels of brightness for added visibility against dark targets.

5 of 5 Athlon Optics 4.5-29x56 Cronus BTR Reviews

This scooe is awesome! First day shooting over 300 yards and I was banging steel out to 700+ with no problem on 10-12 power. The quality of glass and 34mm tube make it a treat to shoot, and all the turrets and zoom/parallax knobs are great. Tracks well too. Highly recommend

This is a primo optic for the money. Excellent clarity edge to edge. I was hitting 12” steel plates at 700 yards with ease!!! This scope mounted up on my Tikka .300 win mag with no problems. I will be buying more Atlon scopes in future. I would not hesitate to recommend this scope to anyone. If you are looking for a great scope for agreat price , look no further than Athlon. Great company to work with, thanks, Joe R

I mounted the Cronus on my bolt gun. I thought it would be heavier, but is not. The reticle is very useful for precision shooting. The turrets are extremely tactile and precise. However, the star of the show is the glass on the scope. The scope glass is so clear that you might think you are using a scope 3x the price. I almost purchased the Razor HD gen 3 which is 2.5x $$$ more than the Cronus. The Athlone Cronus Gen 2 is all you need for hunting or presicion shooting. Highly recommend it to anyone. You won't be disappointed.

Athlon scopes out perform anything in there class. Fast shipping received my scope sooner than expected. This is my third Athlon I own

Great optic. Clear glass, good light transmission. Reticle seems good so far with the time I have with it. Very positive, tactile and audible clicks on the turrets. I love that in between every brightness setting turns the reticle off. The eyebox seems a little tight. Not a huge deal if you're used to it, for me it wasn't a big issue. It's very noticeable on the top end of the range. But for the price it's more than acceptable.
