Anyways in all seriousness.. Im either getting the LRTS or the SWFA SS.. Id really Like the SWFA SS HD bit I'll probably just get the regular.
The Bushnell is my first pick, hopefully Doug still has one when I go to buy it. Or gets more in.

after you use one, a mil reticle/turrets is ALL you'll want..... Absolutely. After years of shooting MOA scopes, one range trip with my first LRHS and I was hooked.
I've seen more well-shot game lost with TSXs than any other premium bullet.

Don't look at mounts. Just grab a pair of Burris 30mm XTR Signature rings and add the appropriate inserts to max out your elevation/to your zero.

they make a 0 moa, too. But the 20 moa base and the inserts in the rings, tuned to your rifle, will get real close to maximizing your elevation.....

What do you mean by maximum ring spacing? I havent mounted a scope in 30 years except on my crossbow lol.

He means spacing your rings as far apart as possible, to maintain eye relief, according to the length of rail you have. The further, the stronger. That is where most mounts fall short. Pun...

I've bought a LRTS and a LRTSi, I'm glad I listened to everyone saying how good they were.
BTW, if anyone else has a SWFA 6X MQ Black Friday Deal they want to let go, I could use one for a 22 project I'm putting together.
I'm here to increase my social credit score and rub elbows with some of the highest rollers on the internet.

I’ve been using a LRHSi for a few months and decided to pick up the Elite Tactical DMR II and Kestrel deal from Doug today.
Hoping to be impressed.
Despite my user name, no I am not from Texas.........

put it on my 6.5 and sight it in to 200yds.. and cleanly miss deer (big time) at 400 by aiming 2" high... fixed it for you, buddy About a 5" drop between 200 and 400yds with a 143gr eld, With a 200yd zero and aiming 2" high on a 400yd shot.. that would be well within the killzone of a deer. Lol Your dreaming. May want to recheck that, my friend.
