Anybody has one ? I would apreciate any feedbacks

I like the 4.5-27x50 FFP Mil or MOA in the Terrain pattern

Also, where in Canada I can get it ?? I browse every web site I know but no one has it in the Terrain color

I was handling one at my local shop here in north bay. Looked and felt good clicks were good. Would be a option if tracking tests proved good. It was a MOA with a Hold over T type reticle

I watched a number of videos and a few reviews with positive feedbacks. One guy did a torture test on the turrets that made me cringe but it held zero. I was about to pull the trigger on a Nikon FX1000 but found the crosshairs a bit thick. I ended up pulling the trigger on the Forge FFP model in MOA. I got it from Reliable on the Boxing week sale. Best price I could find it in Canada which was kinda close to what they go for in the US. I'll post a review when I get it.

I couldn't find anyone in Canada selling the Terrain colour.
 
The scopes seems to be good quality, played with one extensively at my LGS. eyebox is shiet and glass quality is... mediocre? About what you'd expect for the price range. If you can live with those two things then have at it.
 
I’ve been looking at something to replace the LRSH, but from what I’ve read , this isn’t it.

Made in China , overpriced junk.

The LRTS seems to be the one that replaced the LRSH and has good reviews:)

I guess we’ve all been there and it’s really the only way, you’ll really ever know.

Lol, true. I'd love a Nightforce Or S&B but for the amount of long range shooting I do, I can't justify it for now. Go figure I found a couple resellers selling them a good $140 less than Reliable. Grrr

Fingers crossed on this gamble... No whammies!! :p
 
I tried to like one. I really did. Turrets are the best part. Reticle is fine. The killer for me was looking at WHITE objects against dark backgrounds. Chromatic Aberrations... Talk about eyestrain. I had thought that one might find a home on a gopher gun, but with the time I spend behind the lens, NO!!!

It's not that it is a bad scope. It is on Par with some Vortex. But honestly, once you have SIGHTRON or better... or you really dislike ''scope eye vertigo'' ) you can't go back. I can't anyway. There are a couple Sightrons on EE that i would not hesitate on (already bought one) that your 1000.00 would be better spent there IMHO.
 
Well, I got my Bushnell Forge 4.5-27x scope today. Initial thoughts, it's pretty nice. Turrets have a nice feel with good positive clicks. Parallax adjustment knob is nice and smooth with good dampening compared to my Elite Tactical 4-24x which is pretty stiff. Magnification adjustment is also nice and smooth with good dampening. I got home after 8pm so I couldn't give it a fair critique of the optical quality. From what I could see looking at the lighted neighbour's houses, optics seem very clear and crisp throughout the range. Tomorrow AM, I'll see what it looks like in daylight.

So far, I'm impressed. We'll see tomorrow morning if the optics are as bad as the above reviewers claim.

I was in the exact same boat. Initially I was excited when they came out but after looking through one the glass clarity and eye box just killed all the other great features about it including the price. Optics are NOT something you settle on.
