I'm trying to find one long range feature in the S&B Classic (there's not one). The entire purpose of the Bushnell is to be the best long range hunting scope. If you can't see how they are not comparable then you definitely have no need for the Bushy.
Got me laughing here because I have a S&B 3-12x42 Klassic\Precision Hunter with the P3 reticle which I consider the best all round LR hunting optic I have ever owned on all points. I have two of the Bushnell LRHS 3-12x44 on order for when they become available. I will do a direct side by side comparison of the Bushnell to the S&B and report here. The reason I purchased this Bushnell is I am thinking the Bushnell will back fill the two things that could be improved on the S&B and that is the S&B elevation turret only has 3 mils of vertical and there are better reticles than the P3.

Didnt see any mention of "precision hunter" nor the P3. Matter of fact mention was made of the #4 and making it "any size you want".

Anxious to start hearing some reviews from those that got in on the group buy.

Scopes are finally in, They are working out extremely well as expected. All the reviews have been positive. Bushnell really outdid themselves on this project!!!!
Pat has done a lot of testing on the Production scopes and they are better than the prototypes!!!!

George they seem to be getting pretty good reviews, has the exact weight been hashed out yet?

So a little heavier than the prototypes, how do you like the glass? What are you going to mount it on?

I sure wish the MOA version came out first and wasn't over a year out.

No problem ranging in yards and shooting mils. Most of my hunting buds roll that way.
My bet is, this scope will also be available in MOA. Maybe not right away, but it will happen. Available in MOA why so you could go to 1/4 inch adjustments instead of 1/10's. All the scope should be going to mils but they don't want to spend a few cents to do it.

I'd have to say the glass on mine is better than my Nightforce, but not as clear as Schmit and Bender. Mine is going on a mid weight 6 Creedmoor. I'm anxious to try it out. So far after giving it much fingering, the only thing I can think of that I'd change is maybe making it 14X. Some people do more with less, I just like a little more magnification on some rifles.

I think mils work better if you are hung up and have to have a FFP scope. but even with FFP the features of the reticle are going to be useless much below about 5x.

Have you had time to compare your S&B Klassic and the new Bushy?

Anymore reviews of the LRHS? Thinking about one for my Mashburn. Either the 3-12 G3 LRHSi or the 4-18 G2H.
