Are there any in Canada?

I spoke with someone at Bushnell Canada last month about availability in Canada, and she told me end of April. Some dealers have ordered already.

I got the same story from one of their reps, end of April.

The turret is in Mils....for me thats a no go...other than that looks like a nice scope.

I wouldn't use the scope as a ranging device, for that I have ranging binoculars that will give me the exact range out to around 1800 yard and bullet drop in either inches or MOA. Why complicate the shot with guessimate reticle ranging and Mils...easier for me to range with binocs and then dial the moa, done! Buts thats just me.

Here's a thread with a bit of info. I've had the 3-12x44 since last November. I ordered a 4.5-18x44 and was told May.

I've got the elite tac LRS. Same glass, different mechanics and reticlule. I think it's fantastic. Really clear optics. Decent eye relief. Mil-Mil setup is fantastic for ranging.

There's a few of the LRHS around. I quite like mine and think it's pretty good value for what you get. The optical quality is great and I'd put it up there with other top optics. My only complaint is that it's heavy, but that's the trade off for optical and mechanical quality.
