Has anyone used the fairly new brand Athlon optics, specifically the Cronus 15x56 binos? Looking for some feedback.

We've done a side by side with it with the Steiner Meopta and Swaro.
It is more on par with the Steiner than the Meopta and Swaro. A very nice optic and at the price, IMO, an exceptional value

How would it compare to something in the vortex line. Haven’t had my hands on a Steiner product.

Superior to a Viper HD and I'd say on par with the Kaibab

How does it compare to the old minox bl you guys sold awhile back?

Its hard to say as it's been a while since we had those and I've looked through them. I can say that I am very impressed with these Athlons, especially at only $699.99

I only spent a very short time looking through one but what really stuck out to me over the Vortex Kababbibabbob is how natural the color is in the Athlon, the vortex has a greenish/yellow tint to me.

Robby, first off thanks for all your reviews. I'm curious, if I could get the Athlon Cronus for $450 or the Meopta Meostar 15x56 for $1200, taking into consideration resale value, what do you suggest?

How do the Cronus compare to the Bushnell Forge 15x56?

Sorry, I've not tried the Bushnell.
