Thats complete bullshit and you know it. You've done nothing but pump and pimp them out. When people tried to give honest feedback, you tried to besmudge them, myself included. You've done it many, many times, often with outlandish and almost laughable comparisons.
Even now, you're acting like a condescending A-hole saying that he should have gotten a scope with locking turrets or did more research. I've had several sub 1000$ scopes that had turrets that didn't need locking turrets for typical use. In a drag bag or case, where it's assumed that there will be friction when removing a rifle is one thing, but the Ares turrets are very easy to move. They could easily move while in the field without applying hardly any pressure. Hell, Earthquake even mentioned that the windage turret in the Cronus BTR was too loose, and that's a 1799$ MAP optic!
I wasn't thrashing the guy, like you are me. If ones first priority is hoping the turrets won't accidentally move then locking or capped turrets are the logical end. Did I mention the other non Athlon scopes, non S&B scopes I've owned, that the turrets accidentally moved on, rhetorical, That's why I bought the HDMR when they came out, which was years before I bought S&B.
Still offended huh, because I stated exactly what I thought about the glass in the Argos on Scout. Poor guy, want a hanky? Remember glass opinion is subjective, you may not think highly of the glass in the less expensive Athlon scopes but I do and many would agree. As your grudge should bring remembrance too, I also clarified the caveat that the "fit, finish and feel" of the less expensive Athlon scopes were appropriate to the price but the glass went above. Laughable, ha, your little scary attack has got me grinning, lol.
It was late in the evening, had to go, so i didn't finish my first post. I did with the second one so sorry that you got sand in your vagina. Read it.
Nearly every post when there is an Athlon scope mentioned with a problem I encourage people to send them back. I'm also telling the truth that neither myself nor any of my friends, or they're friends, have sent one back for warranty. Some people just can't get it in their head that their precious small amount of money can't buy perfection. ----- But if the scope is truly jacked up then that's what the warranty is for. No one can argue that there isn't one scope Co that doesn't put out a faulty scope here and there.
Here, so you can read it again, that's me being honest. "the turrets tension are a bit light but they don't wiggle" Was I not truthful ???!!! I also mentioned the same in the Ares thread. Lightish turret action doesn't mean unusable or bad. I mean c'mon, the first thing a shooter does is dial elevation, or check that it's on zero if holding over. Not only that but it's got a zero stop. They do click nice and distinct and line up well. There's your pump and pimp. Whatever...
Ha, you thought you caught me. Earthquakes """preproduction Cronus BTR""" Did you get that, I was there at shotshow when he got it??? did exhibit a light action to it - "edit", or maybe it didn't, to be honest I messed with every scope in the booth so I must have been thinking of one of the other preproduction scopes???? My production model Cronus BTR turrets have more tension than any scope I own. There I go bullshitting again??? While we're talking Cronus, if you care to look it up, I mentioned that my illume is not as bright on the lower left part of the reticle when lit all the way up, but is not noticeable when lit appropriate to lighting. There I am shouting the accolades of the perfection of Athlon again, yeah, just pimping away.
.....out loud. Not that the AMG image was bad, it certainly wasn't.....but the Cronus was that good......very bright, clear at max power on a 96 degree Texas afternoon. Maybe that little extra top end magnification in the Cronus spoiled me.
