Rifle Scopes Zero Stop on Athlon Cronus 4.5-29 Gen2

[Thumper580]

Just got a new Gen2 Athlon Cronus 4.5-29. Zeroed it at 100 yards and loosened the elevation turret to align the zero setting. Also turned the inner ring to set the zero stop. Problem is the zero stop is exactly on the zero position...
My question is..... On other scopes I was able to preform this and also have 0.5 mil of movement below the 100 yard zero.... Any suggestions. Thanks.

Yeah, loosen your zero stop, turn the turret in 5 clicks, reset the zero stop and put everything back together.
Now you can go .5 mil below zero.

I always just set my zero stop on the Athlons to .5 under zero, exactly like Mike's describing above. Done deal.

That's one of the things I don't like about my Athlon Cronos 4.5-29 ... and one of the things I love about my Leupold Mark5-HD (1-mil of down-travel below the zero-stop). Other than that, and the weight, the Athlon is an awesome scope.

If you read any of the other posts in this thread, you'd like the Cronus a little more.

Yeah. You can set the independent zero stop to however you want it to be.

You can set the zero stop on the Cronus anywhere you want it.
