Say it aint so. Doug posted it on another forum. What the heck? My favorite dialing hunting scope by a long shot. Seems like a lot of product development for only a few years production. Whats the story?

I just spoke with Belton at Bushnell and he says they are releasing a replacement to the LRHS in June. He couldn’t tell me much about it but said it is supposed to be an upgrade from the LRHS. He said they will continue to produce the LRTS.

The Optics Zone has some listed for $855.

I think it's page 3 of the Bargain Zone.

Would love the exact same 3-12 at the originally advertised 20 ounce weight...

A 3-12 with an illuminated dot right smack in the middle of the "circle of death" would be desirable.

That would definitely perk me up to the Bushnell.

Add a new 2-10x40 compact and I'm in............

With illumination,and under 20 ounces,could be just the ticket. I know I was only considering the NF NXS because of the weight difference and illumination. I guess when I say considering I mean saving for.

Thanks ordered one

Glad to help you spend your money. I would probably have bought one, but bought a new rifle not long ago.

AKbob just told me Experticity has the 4.5-18 illuminati at $920. Danged if I can figure out how to search their site after signing up....

Mine just showed up and I'm not disappointed!

Discussion of prices on Experticity is a direct violation of the Terms of Service of the site and program. Experticity is intended as a program for industry professionals, and vendors get pretty upset when prices are discussed, especially on social media and public forums.

It's the 21-st century. That expectation is archaic.

New reticle

Just when I thought the Nikon reticle was the most crap-tastic one devised, we now see this.

I'm sure they are great scopes but I will never be in a hurry to hand over $1000 for anything that reads Bushnell.

Not all Bushnell lines are created equal. The Elite Tactical line is generally accepted as being extremely good. Both my LRHS and LRTSi have great zero retention, and return to zero and the tracking is accurate and reliable. Bonus is the glass is very, very good too.

John

Ya I was suprised to see this Bushnell scope so highly talked about and when I got one a couple months ago and started using it I could see why.

Is there any information on what the replacement for the LRHS will be?

They are even better after you use them.

They do, but I need a 60 MOA rail to get to 350 yards.

This is the disconnect between LR/Tactical and hunting scopes. Someone needs to figure out how to gap the difference.

I can't think of a single big game animal I would need more than 10x to kill, and 10x is really more than I'd ever need. I can't think of a single need for a 2 pound scope on a 7 pound rifle.

Hunting requires a durable scope, more so than long range steel shooting. Seriously, I ain't gonna put any of those on a 358 carbine, but I still need to dial to take a 275 yard shot, same with lots of rifles.

I like running everything deadnuts on at 100 and dialing past that.

Im still odd man out, just cannot get on board with first focal plane scopes. I know about all the merits, but they are worthless to me as an all around scope for hunting and steel. Every FFP scope I played with was worthless in the first half of the power range due to the reticle being so thin. Hope they come out with a SFP model.

The 4.5-18 should be perfect, I need a reliable scope for my 358 Winchester.

I get it, especially in the terrain you reside in.

Would this work for you?

finally someone else that gets it. I see where your from, remember I think most people do most of their shooting at the range. when your at the range your going to want to be at max or close to it power. for me in the field I want to be on the lowest power and when I need high power I have time to switch to it, typically. This is the disconnect. I am convinced this is why so many people want FFP, they simply aren't using their scopes on low power. for me though and my shooting I don't have much of a need for a scope that is over about 16x. this means I never have a need to come off max power because of mirage. so subtends that work at the highest power and a reticle that is easy to see on low power is exactly what I want.

for what its worth though I do think the higher power LRHS makes some since. in particular the illuminated version. the reticle isn't horrible at 4.5x and illumination will certainly help. The 3-12 version I just can't warm up to. sucks because that power range is exactly the most useful all around to me.

Went to my buddy's place last weekend. He just built a new 1000 yd range and it was the first time I'd ever shot that far. We had an inconsistent 10-20mph crosswind. He had a savage something or other in a chassis, topped with that ATACR MOA version you're talking about, and I had my lowly T3X topped with the 3-12 LRHS. Both 6.5's. A few thoughts :

ATACR was very unimpressive to me as well, with my very untrained tactical scope eyeballs
LRHS is head and shoulders better in most every area, IMHO.
Learning to dope inconsistent wind, consistently is like pissing in the wind. Up and down is easy,
Tikkas remain stupid, stupid accurate. My bud's were amazed, I expected it.
