Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Athlon Cronus 8.5x42 feedback ?

I saw on a earlier thread a couple guys did buy these but what I would like is some feedback of those who either have them or have used them ? I don't have enough post as I'm new to pm anyone yet , so in advance thanks for your feedback.

Friend has one, good glass but it’s like carrying a damn brick

I have only played with them a bit - as KH1473 referenced above, they are indeed a tank.
IMO, they're in the same wheelhouse as the Nikon Monarch 7 (about the same price too IIRC). For pure view and edge-to-edge clarity, I'd give the Cronus a sight nod over the Monarch 7. Copious eye relief with the Cronus too.

Thanks guys I appreciate the info, I liked the 8.5x42 but not the weight also liked the price coming down to around 300. That's why I was thinking about them, weight might turn me away.
