    Bushnell elite tactical

    Talking with a few boys in the US re custom builds i was interested to hear scope choices

    Not surprisingly high end model vortex, zeiss, leupold and nightforce were quoted but on top of this a massive and surprising interest and raving about bushnell elite tactical scopes??

    Anyone here rocking one and how good are they really? What are they on par with? Ie a comparrison

    Pricing's not bad but being a leupy fan im hard swayed

    Doc Watson was raving about his the other day.

    In fact I don't think it was an elite... actually a lower end model.

    I too have been reading about them punching well above their price range.. I reckon you can't go wrong unless you get a faulty one and in that case it does not matter how high end it is if it does not work.

    Introducing the Bushnell LRHS Riflescope - YouTube

    looks like it would be a good all rounder. They also have a 3-21

    Bushnell sadly for me has such a stigma attached for glass like coke bottle bottoms and fogging up id really like to be proven wrong as the pricing is great.........

    Bushy have a wide range of price points , from very cheap to dear , as they are built for them by a alot of different companys , to very different specs & prices .
    As an example , the 3-12x44mm LRHS , is made by the same company that make NF in Japan , so its not a cheap Bushy , I have one on my 22 Hornet at the moment , and its going just fine , good glass & nice adjustments .
    So do research on the model you are interested in , as they all are very different , I would also look at the new Burris XTRIIs they seem to be getting godd reviews as well , there is a 4-16x version of the LRHS out soon as well .

    I imported an elite tactical 4.5-30 with target torrent. Real happy with it. It is a bit on the heavy side being the only down side. The new FFP models are apparently even better. More compact as well.
