The Athlon Cronus BTR GEN2 UHD 4.5-29×56 APLR5 FFP IR MOA is Athlon's flagship long-range scope, pairing UHD extra-low-dispersion glass and a 34mm tube with 110 MOA of elevation travel, an illuminated FFP reticle, stainless steel turret internals, and a precision zero stop, delivering the optical clarity and mechanical precision that serious competition and long-range hunting demand. The Cronus sits at the top of Athlon's lineup.

Key Features

• UHD extra-low-dispersion glass with advanced fully multi-coated lenses and XPL protective coating delivers bright, color-true images with minimal chromatic aberration: the UHD glass uses extra-low-dispersion elements that virtually eliminate color fringing
• 110 MOA total elevation and 64 MOA total windage adjustment in a 34mm tube with 25 MOA per revolution
• Exposed elevation and windage turrets with stainless steel internal components produce sharp, loud, tactile clicks
• Precision zero stop returns to your exact zero with a hard, repeatable stop
• 0.25 MOA clicks with 25 MOA per revolution
• First focal plane APLR5 MOA illuminated reticle — etched glass with MOA-based holdover references that stay accurate at every magnification. The illumination can be turned off entirely
• 4.5-29x magnification range with a 56mm objective — the 4.5x low end provides a wide field of view for target acquisition
• Side-focus parallax adjustment from 25 yards to infinity — handles everything from mid-range precision work to extreme distance
• 34mm one-piece aircraft-grade aluminum tube, argon-purged and sealed: waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof

Ideal For
