Athlon Cronus G2 Uhd Spotting Scope 20-60X86 Black$1,099.99
Availability: In Stock
The Athlon Cronus G2 UHD 20-60x86 spotting scope is built for serious long-range glassing—whether you're spotting for a hunt, glassing distant hillsides, or setting up for precision rifle work. This is a full-sized spotting scope with the optical muscle to pull detail from extreme distances. The 86mm objective lens gathers serious light, while the 20-60x magnification range lets you dial in everything from wide-field scanning to tight, long-range target study. The dual focus system—coarse and fine—gets you on target fast and keeps you there: coarse focus handles the big moves, fine focus locks in needle-sharp detail when every bit of clarity matters.
Athlon's UHD glass with dual-layer ED (extra-low dispersion) design cuts chromatic aberration, the color fringing that degrades clarity at extreme magnification. That's the difference between a usable image and a genuinely sharp one when you're pushing 60x. The XPL protective coating guards the glass from glare, dust, and fingerprints in the field. The 45-degree eyepiece angle keeps your neck comfortable during long glassing sessions—you won't be cranking your head straight up or folding yourself into contortions. BAK4 prisms ensure light transmission stays clean edge to edge.
If you need a full-sized spotting scope with real optical performance and the build quality to handle backcountry use, the Cronus G2 UHD handles the job. It's a scope that rewards good glass with excellent glass.

The Cronus G2 UHD is designed for long-range glassing, spotting work, hunting applications, and precision rifle range sessions where maximum clarity and magnification range are valuable. The 20-60x magnification and large 86mm objective make it well-suited to extended-distance observation.
The dual focus system includes a coarse focus mechanism for quick initial focus and a fine focus adjustment for precise, peak focus refinement. This two-stage approach speeds up target acquisition while allowing you to lock in exact sharpness once you're in the ballpark.
ED stands for extra-low dispersion glass, which reduces color fringing (chromatic aberration) at high magnification. UHD (Ultra High Definition) represents Athlon's premium optical design combining ED glass with coatings and prism quality to deliver maximum color accuracy and contrast. Together, they deliver the clarity Athlon highlights in this scope.
The 45-degree angle is a common and practical choice for spotting scope design because it allows comfortable viewing without excessive neck strain or awkward body positioning during long glassing sessions, which is important when you're spending hours behind the optic.
