SOLD

Going to send this Athlon Cronus BTR on down the road for 1,150 shipped. I bought it used but havent mounted it to use myself however it has a few love blemishes from the prior owner/s. Glass is good though and the adjustments seem solid so functionally its 100% from what I can tell.

I will highlight the blemishs here, the magnification ring has a corner that got bumped on a barricade or something so its a bit rounded now, you can see the silver sliver on its corner.

Showing the ring marks to the anodizing

You can see a couple dings around the objective bell on the left side here

Floating cross reticle @ 15x out my office window

This is probably a stupid question, but does this have illuminated reticle?

 

[bob92121]

I can answer that since I have the same scope... yes it does and it is one of the best on the market. Daylight bright. If you notice in the first image it shows 9 . 10 . 11 . Those dots are "off" positions between each illumination setting.

 

[Inkoosikas]

Ah okay! Thank you!

 

[Inkoosikas]

Any chance you would be open for a trade on it?

I doubt it as I’d really rather just get this months tent money back lol
but if you got something you think might sway me then let me know

Got my 1st Cronus out and took an illuminated pic, here it is at 15x again. This particular Cronus is one I’ve had on my dasher for years though the one for sale is the same.

 

[Inkoosikas]

Thank you for the picture of the Illuminated Reticle! If it interests you at all, I have a Leupold VX-6HD 3-18x44 in excellent condition that I am hoping to either sell and purchase an Athlon Cronus or trade for one.

 

[spife7980]

Ill pass on that as I’ve got more scopes than I can handle at the moment but I appreciate the offer

Well, if I can get my VX-6 sold before your scope sells, I’ll be in touch ?

I don't know the person selling this, but for those who are thinking about this scope... it's a great deal. I have this scope and a Vortex Razor Gen II. Optically they are very similar. I run my Cronus turrets without the o-rings at all and I love the way they feel. Are the Vortex's turrets better... sure. But this scope for 1150 vs a Vortex for 1600-1700. Get this and you won't be disappointed. Plus it's around a pound lighter that the Vortex.

Great deal for sure.

I actually prefer the feel of the o ring turrets. Feels like a hover craft instead of a tractor with square wheels.
I just bought this third one on a whim though and thought better of it basically immediately. I feel I got a good deal on it though and am passing it on for exactly what I got it for hopefully before I get an urge to build another rifle for it.
