    Talk me out of an Athlon Cronus 4.5-29

    Rings on a bolt gun. Cantilever mount on an AR. That's what I like anyways.

    Talk me out of an Athlon Cronus 4.5-29

    I have 3 total. 2 Cronus BTR's and 1 BTR Gen2. I have not compared side by side with any high end glass lately, but I thought it was just as good, if not better than a Vortex AMG. Sold the AMG and bought another Cronus plus about $1k leftover. Best value, high performance scope in my opinion...

    Leveling scopes…tools?

    Arisaka Tool....if that doesn't work, Feeler Gauges. Even a deck of cards works if Feeler Gauges not handy. The hanging plumb line with multiple bubble levels will drive anyone insane and leave you questioning if you have it right!

    Good Cheap Front Rest Taller than Caldwell Rock Jr.?

    Buddy has this one....it's nice and definitely higher than my Rock.

    AR-15 Ranking

    I have a JP Precision Upper, 20" barrel, that regularly does this. Ridiculously accurate!

    Rifle Scopes Arken ep5 vs Athlon chronus

    The Cronus BTR Gen2 was on sale on Expert Voice for $999 last month....which is why I bought my 3rd one.

    Riflescope help for my JP-15

    My 20" JP is very accurate, but only with certain ammo. Hornady Black 75gr, Defender 69gr SMK, and a custom load from Copper Creek using 77gr Berger's.

    Rifle Scopes Cronus BTR GEN2 4.5-29×56 or Tract Toric 4.5-30x56 ?

    I have 2 Cronus BTR's.....and 1 BTR Gen2 = 3 total. The Gen 2 was a steal on Expert Voice for $999. Best bang for the buck in optics IMHO.

    .224 Valkyrie Buffer & Spring....which one?

    I went with a Geissele buffer spring (Super Braided 42) rifle length and a H2 rifle length buffer.

    Scope leveling

    Feeler gauges or the Arisaka Leveling Tool and be done with it. Takes minutes instead of dicking with a plumb line, vice and bubble levels and still wondering if you got it right.

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Cronus gen 1 BTR Glass quality

    What are you comparing it against. I put my Cronus BTR Gen 1 against a Vortex AMG and they were very close......so much so, that I sold the AMG and bought a 2nd Cronus.

    Is the Razor G2 the best value in "MID" tier optics right now?

    For a great deal on a Cronus BTR Gen2, hit up Frank Maduro at Black Mountain Optics.....should be under $1400 shipped. Tell him Chris M referred you.

    Is the Razor G2 the best value in "MID" tier optics right now?

    Cowpokey....I know, that was called sarcasm. I compared the Gen1 Cronus to a Vortex AMG, side by side....theres a thread or post on it with pictures from several years ago if you're into digging for it. The end result was selling the AMG, buying a 2nd Cronus BTR, and pocketing the extra $1k...
