[QUOTE="gunplt, post: 2446067, member: 121273"] Rabbit hole; fair enough. Swampfox: as a vet I get a 30% discount & on holidays like 4th of July, Memorial Day, Veterans Day, they have additional discounts so I have bought a few of their products. When I was pleased with the performance I bought more. As this is a LR Hunting forum I'll stick with that. I have 2 Warhawk 5-25X56 MOA and a 5-30X56 & 2-12X44 MOA Kentucky Long. The Kentucky Longs are nice but the Warhawks are really something special. I was having trouble seeing 30 cal holes in the target @ 200 yards during load development with the 5-30 Kentucky Long. I installed the Warhawk on the rifle and was pleasantly surprised to find that I could easily see the groups at 200 yards. Later I took the same rifle (300 PRC) to shoot at 1 mile and realized after I finished shooting that I had not even changed the magnification off the initial setting of 12X. I would say the Warhawk's glass is better than the Cronus (you can see chromatic aberrations around the outer edge of the Cronus).
