Athlon Cronus Tactical G2 7-42x60 ED Spotting Scope

The Athlon Cronus Tactical G2 is a spotting scope covering 7 to 42 power with ED glass. ED elements cut the color fringing that shows up at high magnification, which is exactly where a spotter needs the image to stay clean and where cheaper glass falls apart.

A 7x bottom end is wide enough to find a target without reaching for a second optic first, and 42x at the top is enough to call shots on paper or read hits on steel at distance. A six times span on a single spotter covers both the finding and the reading without a swap, which is the whole argument for a variable spotting scope. Athlon lists this model in its spotting category.
