I'm a huge fan for the LRHS 3-12! Awesome features and great glass. I own 2 i love em so much lol! I even really like the donut reticle on low power. Makes it easy to see where 2mils is for windage. Why you guys saying they're discontinued? I still see em on the Bushnell site
According to Doug, at Camera Land NY, Bushnell told him they will continue making the LRTS. The replacement for the LRHS is due out sometime in June. Hopefully Bushnell doesn't screwup a great thing. The LRHS was almost perfect, maybe a bit heavy, but that seems to be the price paid for durability in a long range scope.
Thats good, hopefully they change the reticle slightly, not a fan of the ring, also the hash marks are wonky. Does not draw your eye to the center at all.
I like 'the donut of death'. �� Guess it all depends on your intended uses. There is always the LRTS for guys who prefer a plain G2.
I find the hash marks near the center of the reticle are strange and distracting. Compared to the Nightforce SHV for example.
Reticle pretences always make for interesting conversation. I really like Bushnell's G2/3 rets- we use the .5/1.0 Milhash marks all the time holding for wind- and have no use for any of NF's reticles. Well, maybe could get use to the MIL-C. IMO, NF lags far behind in reticle design, companies like Vortex and Kahles are setting the standard. It comes down to a person's shooting style, what they are use to, and just plain old personal preference a lot of the time, I guess. Good to have choices.
For sure. I can use my Vortex BDC marks out to 500, but I am learning to dial. All I need the hashmarks to do is measure. For me the Nightforce reticle is uncluttered and draws your eyes to the center. The lack of horizontal "upper half" hashmarks is nice to see your target better, especially for hunting. The reticle would not stop me from buying that Bushnell however, and is on my short list. They should just center up the vertical hash marks.
