    2017 Shot show: New Bushnell Scopes

    I took a quick look at what was new with Bushnell scopes. Most emphasis was put on two families. One, their tactical lines (DMR 2, LRTS, and SMRS); and a new "Trophy Extreme" line.

    Again, I'm no tactical specialist (quite the contrary), but apparently some changes were made to some tactical models so I thought it may be of interest to mention. New features listed: New G3 illuminated reticle on the DMR 2 (LRTS had it already I believe); throw levers for magification adjustment; and "T-Lok" locking target turrets.




    Bushnell is also introducing this year a whole new series of scopes under the "Trophy Extreme" name. I asked one of the reps if, price-wise, and quality-wise, these were going to fit between the regular Trophy line and the Elite line; that is the intention. From what I see, the main difference with the regular Trophy line is the tube size; 30mm for all the Extreme models. Sizes range from 2.5-10x44 up to 6-24x50.

    I like the Xtreme 6-24 I just put on my wifes 243.

    I would also like to get one of the new Tactical Elites, I like the locking turrets and the throw handle.
    Looks like the throw lever is removable also

    I have to agree, that throw arm is a nice addition.

    wonder what their pricing will come out...or how long it will take for that 'innovation' to get to some of their lower lines.
    power corrupts, but absolute power is kinda cool!

    I do like them !
    Been eye balling one of the new Extremes for my new Browning A Bolt 243.
    Either the 2.5-10 x 44 or the 4-16 x 44.

    Wonder if the rainguard feature will ever be added down the road ? Probably not at the price points they're at.
