[AVS Stephen]

Yes, you guys seem to saying what I'm hearing from others. At $1,199 the Athlon Cronus a deal. The next step up seems to bein the $2400 . Thank you to everyone for all the help!

The Athlon Cronus is almost $500 off TODAY ONLY posted a heads up!

It's better than what you have now.

Don't downgrade for Christ sakes!!! Upgrade to a JAPAN CRONUS SAVE MONEY TODAY ONLY!!!

Where? I'm eyeing the Cronus 1-6 FFP - can you compare it to a NF NX8?

TIA,

From what I've read people don't like the glass in the NX8 near as much as the ATACR. I'd say if you like the reticle and features of the Cronus 1-6 to go for it because my bet is the glass is close enough to the same you wouldn't care.

If interested I have a Burris XTR2 1-8x24 FFP for sale.

Black Friday approaches... 

I have an NX8 and a couple ATACRs. The image quality of the NX8 is excellent - probably not as good as the ATAC, but close enough. I like it better than the ATACR for airguns because the ATACR is huge (and 50% more $$).. I'm looking for a comparison of those optics to the Cronus, which I've never seen.
