Athlon, Steiner or Leupold

[TwoSixty]

I am getting ready to get a new 6 GT. Having a hard time deciding on glass. The ones I’m looking at the closest are Athlon Cronus 4.5-29, Steiner T6x 5-30 or Leopold Mk5 5-25. I want to like the Steiner put I do worry about QC. Tracking is probably the most important issue for me. I’m not too concerned about the price difference between them. I would love any feedback. Thanks

Any of the 3 will work fine. I'd pick the mk4hd over the mk5 though.

I've got the Athlon ETR and the glass is pretty nice, the Cronus is better from what I hear. However, my take is that Athlon reticals in general are chunky and it takes alot away from the apprent quality imo. I usually crank up the magnification if ive got it, though the design might be intendef for the guy that runs it at the 15 to 18 power range
