George Gardner posted on FB that there's a new version coming. Sounds like a rehash of the current 4.5-18x design with some updates. LINK to SH postLINK to FB

That's great news. I hope it has the G2H reticle.

Awesome. Glad they are continuing with the Elite line, especially the LRHS.
I've seen more well-shot game lost with TSXs than any other premium bullet.

Here we go again a tactical shooting competitor trying to design a long range hunting optic. Fancy whiz bang reticle and all. Tactical shooting and hunting need different scope and reticle designs. I guess I am happy it appears bushnell is bringing back some Japanese scope which is a great thing

Tactical shooting and hunting need different scope and reticle designs. It is a different scope and reticle design than their tactical/competition models.

Seems to me the PRS comps are more similar to hunting than different, especially "western" style hunting where ranges can be longer. Hunting, at least in my experience, can be dynamic, unpredictable, high pressure, physically demanding, etal; which are all things PRS comps try to simulate. I'm a hunter, not a PRS competitor, but I'm super glad Mr. Gardner is collaborating (presumed) with Bushnell to design the next generation of LRHS. Just wished he would have asked for my input (grin).

I sure like the first series, and have high expectations for these scopes. Some of the best value scopes available for repeatable long range dialing IMHO.

Is it confirmed they will be built in Japan? I have a LRHSi and can’t imagine taking a close shot on low magnification without the illumination in low light. At longer range, I haven’t needed illumination as the reticle is plenty visible.

I spent this past weekend hunting with George, and got to try out this scope....The glass is amazing. The turrets are crisp, and the power range is very usable, and the parallax was really forgiving.
They are made in Japan, by Light Optical.....

LINK to SH postLINK to FBBest scope I have ever run is the first LRHS. Eye relief is incredible, glass brilliant. Love it. If both are on the same diameter tube, why go with the 3 x 12 instead of the 4.5 x 18?

3-15x illuminated and I'll be considering one.
