Spotting scope recommendation

[Bezamaelee]

Really just needed for shooting out to 600 yards. Occasional western hunt but primarily a range tool. Looking at an Athlon Cronus
12-36x50

Recommendations and shared experiences appreciated.

If you’re just using it for the range, I would go with something bigger. I have a maven 15-45x65 that I use for both hunting and shooting. On max power it can be hard to see bullet holes at that range.

I would go bigger. Especially if it’s only for range use. Weight isn’t an issue. At least 65mm

I have a angled Athlon Ares 15-45x65 UHD and really like it. It’s a little heavy, but built really solid and in a nice small form factor. really great spotter for the $$.

I'm really pleased with my Maven S1a.

I have the Athlon Cronus 12-36x50 and it’s a good compact and lightweight scope for western hunting, but I don’t think it is capable of what you are looking to do with it. If you are primarily wanting it for range use, I would suggest getting a larger scope like many others have recommended.

Athlon Ares G2 UHD 65mm is well worth the money. Great buy at its price point.

I’m hoping some swaro ATS scopes start popping up when that new thing they have domes out.

Price, quality and dependability, the Athlon Ares 15-45x65 UHD Spotters is a great choice. Please give a call to discuss it

I have this (G2). Bought it from @gr8fuldoug. Would buy again. Even use it on backpack trips.
