[QUOTE="Citius7, post: 1309381, member: 100774"] Yes the BTR we are referring to would be the Gen2 Athlon said they did not rename it as a "gen2" themselves because they did not believe they made enough changes to it to justify that nomenclature. Others have nonetheless because it's easier to talk about it. So if u have questions reach out to JADEPrecision they helped design and field test both generations and are extremely knowledgeable. U can talk directly with them on Facebook messenger. Turrets have a snap sound a feel now. Parallax goes from 25 to 1600 then infinity. Very nice. Reticle is at least a third thinner and cleaned up a little bit with the hashes and dots of the gen 1. All the harsh and tightness moving parts are nice to the hand. U don't have to be a power lifter to move the rings. The battery bay for the illumination was redesigned. The box says BTR on it. Btw it stands for "Better Tactical Reticle". If u have a bet going on what it means. There ya go. Matt at Athlon has answered all my questions on it. Call either jade or him and all ur mystery will lifted. Bottom line on the scope is the following: this scope is worth the MSRP of $2100. Which is not what u can get it for. It's a bargain. Not many scopes are. You want a scope to do all this and have the glass quality you will be at $2500. They all do what this thing does for that price. But it's not. I bought my preordered for $1450 and I don't think there's another scope that has everything this one does. [/QUOTE]
