The Athlon Optics Cronus BTR Gen2 4.5-29x56 is a first focal plane precision rifle scope built for long-range hunting and competitive shooting. With a 56mm objective lens and a magnification range stretching from 4.5x to 29x, this scope delivers the optical clarity and shooting distance capability that serious marksmen demand—whether you're dialing in at the range, competing in PRS matches, or hunting at extended ranges where precision matters.
The optical platform here emphasizes light transmission and edge-to-edge clarity. The UHD extra-low dispersion glass works to minimize chromatic aberration and cut through mirage, giving you a cleaner sight picture in challenging conditions. The illuminated reticle and XPL protective coating keep performance consistent in low-light hunting scenarios and harsh field conditions. For shooters who value tactile feedback and reliability, the internal stainless-steel turret design produces sharp, confident clicks—no guesswork on elevation or windage adjustments.
Reticle choice matters in a scope this capable. This model ships with the APLR5 MOA reticle in a first focal plane configuration, meaning the reticle scales proportionally with magnification—a setup that lets you use holdover and wind correction techniques reliably across your entire zoom range. The zero stop feature keeps your elevation turret anchored to your zero, so accidental bumps won't cost you your zero point during transport or in the field.
Built for hunters and shooters who refuse to compromise on optics quality, the Cronus BTR Gen2 pairs the optical performance and mechanical precision you'd expect from a competition-grade scope with the durability to handle real-world hunting conditions.
| Brand | Athlon Optics |
| Model | Cronus BTR Gen2 |
| Magnification Range | 4.5–29x |
| Objective Lens Diameter | 56mm |
| Reticle | APLR5 MOA (Illuminated) |
| Focal Plane | First Focal Plane (FFP) |
| Turret Adjustments | MOA |
| Turret Construction | Internal Stainless Steel |
| Lens Coating | XPL Protective |
| Glass Type | UHD Extra-Low Dispersion |
Yes. The Cronus BTR Gen2 is designed for both disciplines—the magnification range, optical clarity, and tactile turret design make it equally at home on a competition rifle or a long-range hunting build. The first focal plane reticle and zero stop are standard features for serious precision shooters.
In a first focal plane (FFP) scope, the reticle scales with magnification. This means your holdover marks and wind correction values remain accurate whether you're zoomed to 4.5x or 29x—an advantage in precision shooting where you may be dialing or using reticle references at different magnifications.
The zero stop is a mechanical detent that locks your elevation turret at your zero position, preventing accidental rotation and loss of zero during handling or transport. Once you've established your zero, the turret can't drift past that point without intentional force.
Yes, the APLR5 reticle is illuminated, which helps visibility in dawn, dusk, and low-light hunting conditions. The illumination improves sight picture clarity when ambient light is limited.
