Athlon Cronus vs Tract ELR both FFP maximum power available 34 mm tube.

I have a Cronus my only gripe is the crosshair are a little thick for my liking. Otherwise as I'm sure others will chime in, it's a very clear piece of glass.

Tract, have several, Tract and don't look back

I have 3 TRACT scopes and see no reason to look at any other brand. TRACT will give you the most bang for your buck by far.

5 to 42 by 56mm, 34mm tube. March FFP wide-angle, high master. Best on the planet.

Best price, not knocking them, but I just don't see how they can justify the price, plenty of scopes one third their cost that won't be shamed. And a three-pound scope is a wee bit heavy even on a tripod. Just saying.

If price is the determining factor, then I understand. But, for optical quality, build quality, and many other factors, the March high master products are first rate. I have four of their high master scopes in both FFP and SFP and have tried many other brands. No comparison. I guess the old saying, “buy once, cry once” applies.

I'm not sure what unit of measure you are using, but the Marc-FX 5-42X56 HM is 35ounces, or 2 pounds 3 ounces. Even the Majesta, which is very heavy, is only 40 ounces, or 2.5 pounds. As for justifying the price, IYKYK. Just saying.

I've seen March scopes, and they are exactly as described here, but put next to a high-end scope up to 2K, I personally can't justify it, considering I only shoot coyotes and groundhogs to 400 yards. I actually made a comparison with an Athlon Cronus side by side, and the difference was negligible but apparent, by two hairs.A well-built scope with great glass, but I'll pass for now.
