LGS is doing a year end sale and has all Bushnell scopes at 50 percent off. Their normal prices are pretty much MSRP. They have 2 LRHS 4.5-18X44 scopes, price tag $2099 so they would be a little over $1K on sale. I know GA Precision was selling these scopes at a bigger discount than that a while back. Discontinued and getting harder to find. Would it be worth buying one or are there better scopes for similar money?

Just ordered the LRTS 3-12x44 in FDE, for $649.99, with free shipping to boot. Thanks Doug. Tempted to try the DMR II as well, but will probably save my pennies to get the PRO later. I had the LRTSi 4.5-18x44, but never could warm up to it. I think the LRTS 3-12x will suit me better. J

That's a very good deal on the LRTS, but I also just bought a Meopta here on the classifieds less than a week ago... I think I'm gonna have to accumulate some more paychecks before I jump on the next Cameraland deal...I passed on the LGS Bushnell offerings. 50 percent off their high prices just didn't sway me.

Are those Mils on the reticle?
How well do these hold up on hard kicking rifles? Thanks.

I'd just get a Leupold then..... I've killed countless deer at first light, last light, good light, noon light for the last 30 years with a $50 3x Bushnell, that's never had to be re-sighted in once. I sould probably take that scope off my 3030 and put it on my 6.5 and sight it in to 200yds.. and kill deer put to 400 by aiming 2" high... and say screw a new scope, take the $900 and buy the 45-70 guide Marlin I want instead.. and yeah ...
