It is nice!Man, why you gotta go and post a TRG? I have been continually successful at NOT buying another one for like a really really long time, but you and others like you don't make it easy. Show some respect for a man in turmoil for the last 20 years, would you?
I HATE factory rifles, but TRG's are so smooth. I don't think most people that have never had one can ever realize. (and that trigger... boyooo)
I'm just saying... mind yourself, would you?

If the new ones weren't so expensive I probably wouldn't bother building anymore custom rifles but at $6500+ You can build a lot of rifle!
It is one of my favorites.
I like the Cronus! I own 2 and they just work. The TRG is a 308 and it really doesn't need more. The S&B is on a 300 WM.OH, and by the way @Paladin300 ... you should be ASHAMED of yourself for having that garbage on top of that rifle. If ever there was a place for a Tangent Theta. For the love of pete.
At LEAST put the S&B over there.

I have a Mark 6 3-18 that might suit it better but it shoots so well I hate to mess with it!You might get away with all that cussing and nonsense when you're talking to someone else... but not me!I like the Cronus! I own 2 and they just work. The TRG is a 308 and it really doesn't need more. The S&B is on a 300 WM.
True. Very true. Good point
I could add insult to injury!You might get away with all that cussing and nonsense when you're talking to someone else... but not me!
Put the S&B on the TRG, or you're dead to me.

The 300 is a Sako too! It is a rare piece. A Semi custom Sako A7 Range with a trigger job, the Atlus works shroud, bolt and elusive bottom Metal & ASICS 10 rd mags all custom fitted. They both shoot half moa groups. Hard to decide who gets the Schmidt??? Been thinking about a ZCO? Possibly a NF Atacr? I don't need anything but this ain't a needs kinda sport at this point!
You guys check for parallax? It's amazing how many people I run into at the range that have no clue what it is and how to check for it.
Parallax wasn't the issue. 2.5" group (larger on the first target) down to 1" group. With a fairly decent number of shots. Even with the worst possible parallax setting (both of these scope are not adjustable) the cross hair is not going to move anywhere near that much. I could shoot left handed upside down and the parallax isn't going to do that at 100 yards.
You could be right and it not of been parallax but I think your underestimating the effects of parallax at 100 yards as well.

I see you really like your Athlon Cronus scopes good luck of you ever need warranty for any of them.Oh my, this is just wonderful. I have so much nostalgia from this post. I think I read this same post in 2002. Almost as much nostalgia as I'd get from grabbing onto an original AIAW. lol
Are you brain dead? Where do you get the impression I like athlon scopes? I tried several of each model when they came out. They were fine at that time… nothing special, but I'd never buy one today.
