I started another thread on here looking for a low-cost replacement for my Vortex Sandpiper spotting scope to use at the range when I came across the Athlon Optics Cronus Tactical FFP Mil 7-42x60 ED

I'm guessing the optics are very good since it's ED glass w/ BAK-4 prisms so how far will the 42x be useful for in decent light to pick up 22cal bullet holes when paper-punching? And, for those with experience using a mil-reticle or ranging spotter, are these useful enough (deer hunting, shooting prairie dogs/targets, etc.) to justify spending the extra $$ over a regular spotter?


Biden's most truthful quote ever came during his first press conference, 03/25/21.
Drum roll please...... "I don't know, to be clear." and THAT is one promise he's kept!!!
