Got the Cronus in a trade. Otherwise I’d have bought an NXS. Cronus BTR is made by LOW which knows how to make and does make many of the best optics out there. I’ve never spent $2000 on a scope and that’s why I recommend Sightron. Cost way less and have proved their worth the price. As has NXS.
This internet special forces ninja has used the scopes he has suggested. Which was the advice the OP is looking for. Not the my friends, neighbors, dog walking buddy has X so get X. I suggested the Burris or Sightron because that is what is in the OP price range. The NXS is not but he’s willing to save for it. If we’re looking at S&B then consider Steiner M5 NF ATACR etc as well. That’s stepping into another category then was recommended.
You can be as butt hurt as you want over my comment but the fact is I have used the recommendations I’ve made. Still own them. And use them for what the OP would like to use them for.
If your calling guys like Mike and I internet ninjas etc because we have experience with these scopes/cartridges etc then your attempting to chase away the experience the OP is looking for.
Im sure the Ares is a great scope as well. I’m just suggesting options that have been out for a while and have more of a track record to go on. I jumped on the Vortex bandwagon when they first came out and was able to comment on their great customer service like most owners have used. Their Razor line and maybe PST Gen II maybe a different story. I jumped ship on them before they came out with those models.
You will be doing a lot of adjusting for that distance. So get a scope that can handle it. Get enough elevation internally in the scope to account for it. You may need to use the reticle for accounting for additional elevation as I had to do with my 260. But I wanted a 100 yard zero so I could sight it in in my backyard if needed.
Sincerely the tactical operating internet cool ninja that has shot a 338 Lapua over 1,000 yards with scopes the OP can afford now who also owns several 300’s, shoots 1,000 yard comps and owns/owned the scopes he recommends or doesn’t recommend.
Im not trying to stir the pot with you Dave but your calling out guys like me in the previous post you made. So I called you back out. Not the other way around. If you can’t afford the high end optics then I am sorry. They are nice but there are also nice optics that cost way less and do the same job. Owning optics and putting them through years of use is more valid then shooting a few rounds through a buddies gun. However if your referring to military experience when you’ve used the top tier optics then I say by all means recommend away, those get tested way more than anything I’ve suggested
