Seeing the turret, the most fitting name is Compact Hunting Optic - Drop Evaluated.

Size and form factor look pretty good, hoping to see it in person at the winter class.

@Formidilosus - Can you send a pic of the reticle?

When I see one in person, yes.

The turrets look a lot like the vortex viper hd turrets. Can't wait to hear how this scope stacks up. I hope it does well in the torture test, because I've been waiting for something that is worth buying to replace my Burris xtr iii.

Ewww. Now I can’t get that image out of my head.

It has nothing in common with the Vortex btw.

Hahaha!!! I just had to put that out there, because I knew that would get a rise out of you.

When adjusting magnification does the entire ocular move or just a "Ring"?

Haha. It’s not a NF. Just the ring.

Why do the windage bars get bigger further from center. Quicker to ID?

 

[Wprinkle]

Man this thing has an Athlon "look" to it.. but my guess is: reliable thermal or NV optic company looking to expand...

That's a damn good looking scope! I can read the turret numbers from Wyoming! Sold. If you could name it THE FAG like I suggested that would be awesome.

 

[Wprinkle]

The turret is spelled wrong..... It should say IMMMMMMMMPPAAAAAAACCT

And it appears you don't need some BS tiny special tool that I always lose to slip the turrets

Ouch!!! @Formidilosus is probably done checked out after the vortex and athlon comment.

Why about Athlon?

They said it was a company we wouldn’t expect. Higher-end Athlon scopes are made in LOW. And it looks like an Athlon.

The cronus isnt a bad scope, but their other stuff I would put in the same category as most of the vortex stuff.

I wouldn’t be against athlon.
Arken, eh maybe a little.

I’d **strongly prefer** something not out of china. But would expect this scope to be an outlier in performance no matter who’s name ends up on it.

But it doesn’t matter. None of the other scopes in the lineup matter. It only matters that they have a relationship with LOW and are willing to build to Ryan/Form’s spec.
