Bushnell Elite Tactical LRTS 3-12X44 G3 Illum ET3124GI

I've been searching high and low in canada for either an LRTS or LRHS 3-12.
I am aware they are discontinued but sometimes you find NOS in stores. I have done an exhaustive search of all the site sponsors as well as many other online retailers with no luck.

Have any of you fellow CGN'ers seen one of these for sale anywhere new or used? Maybe some mom and pop store has one still on the shelf?
Any leads would be much appreciated. I do have an active WTB ad posted to the EE amd I'm pretty much glued to it. I remember these were heavily discounted by some retailers a year or so ago I just have no idea how many are floating around in Canada used.

That’d be like finding a needle in a haystack. Especially NIB for a good price. Precision Optics had a 3-12 LRHS for quite a while, but their price was quite high. Good luck with your search!

I've had a bunch over the years (both LRTSi and LRHS) and pretty much every LRHS I've owned (or buddies have owned) have gone back on warranty because the turrets can't be zeroed on every 0.1, only on every 0.2 mil, if that makes sense? The turrets still adjust in 0.1 mil increments you just can't line up the zero properly unless you land on the correct adjustment. Something about the turret caps not having enough splines to line up every 0.1. Anyways, that never was a problem because you'd send your LRHS off the Bushnell and they'd send you an LRTSi, which is a great scope. It won' be easy to find one, I don't think, as those that have them generally want to hang on to them, there's certainly not really much incentive to sell one for a good price. The most comparable scope I've used (and it's a better scope, imo) is the NF NX8 2.5-20 but it's also a lot more expensive.

To whom do you send your scope to? Bushnell USA?

I still have a couple early LRHS with the 0.2 turret splines. Not a big deal to me, those rifles just end up zeroed 0.1 higher than they might otherwise. Easy enough to plug into the Kestrel.

The LRTS is a good scope as well, but the reticle isn’t as well designed for general hunting. Definitely would want illum on those, IMO
