Browsing Cabelas bargain cave and saw these for the cheapest I've seen them anywhere. Thought I would share the info in case someone has been wanting one.

I ordered one a couple days ago. Hard to pass up for that price!

I'm tempted. Just exhausted my fun funds on the Leica ER5 sale at Europtic but...... I've been wanting play with one of these for awhile. Made in Japan and everyone loves them, the reviews give them high remarks. Have youreceived yours yet Txhillbilly?

Is this the first generation btr?

Thats a great price for a great scope.

I don't know the answer to that.

Looking at the parallax knob it’s prior to the BTR release.

No, its the first gen before the Btr. I've had one for over a year. Good glass but the reticle is extremely thick, hence the reason it's being discontinued.

If I understand the Athlon web site this would be first generation scopes. It appears they designate the second gen as BTR and the initial was just Cronus. Glass and other key elements are same but it looks as it they made changes to parallax markings and battery compartment for the BTR.

And the reticle is way thinner in the BTR version, hash marks are a little different too.

Good to know the Gen1 vs Gen2 reticle difference, thanks.
