No experience with Cronus line but recently purchased two of their Midas BTR scopes. One is their 4.5-27x50 for my 220 Swift and a 2.5-15x50 for a KIDD 10/22. For the price, their are very good scopes. Optical quality is better than the Weaver Tactical, SWFA non-HD glass, Leupold VX-3 and Vortex PST line to my eyes. If I remember correctly, these are former Bushnell engineers.

I like their APLR1 reticle and illumination seems to work well. Click adjustments aren't as crisp as I would like but both passed the box test without any issues. For a sub-$500 scope (with military discount), I have no complaints.

Thought hard about the Cronus, but price point puts it close enough to a Razor Gen II or non-illuminated March scope to make me pass on it.
