Doug, is the FDE scope an illuminated reticle? The header and hotlink says not illuminated but in the description below says illuminated G3.
How is the non-illuminated reticle in low light?
Overall, seems like some good deals!

How do these compare the Meopta Optik 6? Kind of torn between the two but have never been able to look through either.
I do own a Meopta 4-12x40 that works very well for me and doesn't seem to be far behind higher end scopes.. I also have Nightforces for more tactical guns and a Ziess Victory for hunting.

I cannot give an answer. The Optika6 just started shipping last week and is a new product. The Bushnell has been out a while and is a proven entity. In 6 months I can give a fair and honest answer.
I can say that everyone who has gotten these Bushnells is happy and with the reduced price through Labor day it's a steal

I just ordered one of these from Doug a few days ago, the 3-12x44 in FDE. At that price it is an absolute steal of a deal.
I got one of the 4.5-18x44 LRTS for my LR rig earlier this spring and love it. That one replaced the SWFA 3-15 that I had been using. It was a significant upgrade in glass and features. Ever since then I have been wanting one of the 3-12 to replace another 3-15 SWFA that is on my main coyote rifle. When this deal came up I had to jump on it. If I had the money I would buy one of the black ones with illuminated reticle too.

I'd put one on everything applicable if I could. Just awesome scopes.

And changes the reticle subtension, in this case... I was under the impression that this had been fixed a while back. Can anyone confirm that has purchased one recently?

I can confirm that the DMRII non-illum has a finer center crosshair than the DMRII-i, but I haven’t compared recent manufacture LRTS vs LRTS-i to see if the reticles have changed.

I have a 4.5-18 LRTSi and a 3-12 LRTS. I’ll check them at 12x and let you know.....

Thanks...
I'm not really that worried about one being thicker or thinner, but I heard a while back that the illuminated reticles scale was off pretty by quite a bit.

There were supposedly a few that got out with incorrect subtensions, which Bushnell took care of under warranty.
The illuminated versions have always been a bit thicker, which has not bothered me in my match rifle, and which I actually prefer on my hunting rifles.

John Thanks. That's the info I was searching for. I guess I read wrong on this thread and thought they may still be having those issues.

Oh yeah, the subtension error was brief and was quickly remedied.
The reticle difference is minor, but I very much prefer the finer reticle on the non-illuminated version of the higher-magnification scopes like the 3.5-21x or 4.5-18x for the type of work I do with that type of scope. For hunting with the 3-12x, I like the G2H reticle.

Just got off the phone with Doug. I finally caved, had to pick up one of the Flat Dark Earth options offered here. I think it's going to look/work excellent on my recent production Kimber Montana 223 with the moss green stock. I will say this. In my opinion, there is no better place to buy optics than www.cameralandny.com Doug and his crew are as good as it gets. Absolutely incredible people. Thanks again Doug for the hookup!!
