Great glass!

Very happy with purchase. Have a NightForce NX8 to compare against and the glass is almost just as clear. Very nice for the price point. Would definitely recommend to a friend and the scope is very user friendly. Reticle is good and the tracking is very good. I have the MIL version and the turret clicks are very positive and easy to hear. Can’t wait to take it out on my next prairie dog hunt. Great purchase and very happy with the scope.

Athlon Cronus

I have used this for almost 6 months in a lot of competions. Return to zero and dialing has been accurate and easy. Great optical clarity. The lit reticle works great and is easy to zero the turrets. Would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a quality scope with a great warranty. It is a heavy scope but is well made and easy to use. The clarity above 27 power is not as good as as the lower magnification.

Amazing optic

I have used this scope for the Mammoth Sniper Challenge II as well as PRS and deer hunting. It is awesome. The quality of glass and reliability to keep zero after getting beat up a little at Mammoth is unbelievable for the price. The turrets are crisp, the zero stop is easy to set, the APRS6 reticle is awesome and not messy - easy finding targets, illumination is crisp and bright. I am truly surprised to not see this scope in more PRS/NRL. I say it smokes the Leopold MK5 for clarity and the Vortex razor for weight (otherwise the Razor is a better scope). It's gonna be tough to beat a Kahles, ZCO or NF ATACR. All in all, the Cronus is a great, affordable scope. I do wish it came with scope caps though. It was tough finding a set that stayed on.
