We did side by side comparisons with the Garmin. The Athlon was very close to the Garmin across the board regardless of rifle or handgun cartridge. I only experienced one time the Athlon missed a shot, and it was because it was too far to one side of the rifle. Moved it closer, and it never missed a shot.
It is easier to manipulate than the Garmin, less buttons to push and the screen is larger, easier to see.
It gets a very good grade here, and I found no issues with it at all. If I did not have the Garmin already I would go with the Athlon for sure. Larger screen and less button pushing is a huge plus.
I bought the Athlon a month or so ago and have been pleased with it. It is the first/only chronograph that I’ve ever owned so I can’t compare it to any of the others. I bought it mainly to confirm MV of different ammo/rifle combos before ordering CDS turrets for my Leupold scopes.
I have an unfired T rex 577 if anyone is interested in acquiring it . Absolutely spotless, flawless and well kept . It's rare as it gets . Mouth watering ? Let me know if you feel like making an offer .

I just saw Budsgunshop.com has both the guide gun and the African for $1150. FWIW - I bought both and decided to use the Guide gun - I restocked it in a Bell and Carlson stock and I added the Alaska arms floor plate to add a round. I wanted the shorter barrel as I will use a suppressor. I wont go lower than $1100, but I will ship it and no sales tax.
