Both rifle scopes can be adjusted also to infinity range, but for me personally, the parallax adjustment is much better on the Vortex because the space between 100 yards and infinity is much bigger, so you can adjust the parallax much easier and more precise.

I recently picked up both the Cronus BTR with the cross reticle and Eres ETR with the floating dot.

This is very helpful when you are in darker areas and don’t see the markings on the turrets. One downside on both rifle scopes is on the windage turret because also these turrets are multi-turn. Notify me of follow-up comments by email. Athlon scores in the elevation adjustment range, because you have 34 MIL of adjustment compared to 27 in the Vortex. You must log in or register to reply here. The catch is, Athlon's new Midas TAC 5-25x56 is priced at the same level as the Gen 2 Ares BTR, so I went with a couple of the 5-25x56 Midas TACs on my last order instead of trying one of the Ares BTR Gen 2s. The clicks on both rifle scopes are really great and are better then I expected.

It has a smaller but also bigger magnification than Vortex. I like the thicker + aiming point that the Ares BTR & pre-BTR Cronus scopes have better than the finer + of the Cronus BTR. In this comparison, we will test 2 new rifle scopes, both designed for precision tactical shooting on a long rage. On both rifle scopes the turrets are multi-turn, so you have multiple revolutions to come from the bottom to the upper side of the reticle adjustment. None-the-less we always try our best to hide all the labels that can give away the products ID. Both rifle scopes are from the middle price range. Both rifle scopes are from the middle price range. The reflections (chromatic aberration) in the Vortex are much clearer to see, especially on white surfaces where the light breaks in all colors. I"ve had a dealer offer me the ETR for as little as $950.

The first one is the Vortex Viper PST Gen. 2 5-25×50, and the second one is the completely new Athlon Ares ETR 4.5-30×56.

nice turrets with audible adjustment clicks. This featured test is impartial and we always try our best not to prejudice and favor one product over the other. I purchased the BTR and like it. Also Vortex is known because of its big range of various optics for any kind of use, and Vortex offers products in all price ranges for any user. From a total of 128 points, Vortex Viper PST Gen. 2 got incredible 93 points and Athlon Ares ETR only 35. I have only had one range session with each but my initial impression is I like the regular cross hairs better than the floating dot. I ran the BTR through a battery of comparisons against low and high end optics a while back and was pretty surprised at the quality they managed to pull off. Vortex Viper PST Gen. 2 5-25×56 rifle scope comes with a 3-inch sunshade, a battery for the illumination, a lens cloth, the manual, and a cheap bikini-style cover. Before you ask, BTR and ETR apparently don’t stand for anything. Also the price is very similar, the MSRP of Vortex is 1579€ and 1679€ of Athlon. From 8 volunteers 3 were women and 5 were men. As much as I like the ETR & TAC, the floating dot is just too darned tiny to be of much use unless you've got the magnification cranked up to 24x.

As Frank would say, what’s your favorite color? I guess for the guys that always dial wind, the center dot would be great. Both scopes were mounted in parallel and people observed trees and buildings about 260 meters away. In all other categories Vortex was better, especially in the field of view Athlon had no chance. Thanks Anderson A, without a time rush so you find yourseld shooting better groups with one over the other?

Because of this, the illumination can be adjusted very precise, perfect for shooting in dusk or dawn, where the light conditions are constantly changing. Because of the bigger field of view on the smallest magnification, the Athlon is slightly better for observations, especially with night vision attachments or thermal attachments. Vortex Optics, on the other hand, is one of the fastest growing companies in the world of sports optics and is also one of the big names in this market.

I put an Ares ETR on one of my custom barreled 40XB 22RF repeaters for a week or two, and eventually went back to the pre-BTR Cronus on that rifle. Also Athlon is going the same way because they use the same reticle in their best tactical rifle scope, the Cronus BTR. Both reticles are illuminated with red color, and both are not daytime bright. Central sharpness – subjective impression at 5x, 15x and 25x magnification: Edge sharpness – subjective impression at 5x, 15x and 25x magnification: Inner reflections at 5x, 15x and 25x magnification: FOV – subjective impression at 5x, 15x and 25x magnification: Eye-box at 5x, 15x and 25x magnification: I have to say that Vortex did it again.
