Hi-end Bushnell scope recommendation?

[Firehaus]

I've never bought one, but did a small trade out job for them and I'm looking at this one for payment. Anyone have any experience with their higher end scopes?

That is a very nice scope! I have no first hand experience with that particular model. Bushnell Tactical scopes have improved considerably in the last few years. Street price can be 10-20% lower than MSRP on those. Not sure if that is the ERS or the XRS but Bushnell has up'd their game.

The H59 Horus reticle may be "love it or hate it" depending on your preference. It is very functional though.

The snipers hide link had some nice testimonials. Thanks!

Ended up getting this one. Seems pretty nice. Time to get some rings so I can try it out.

Still waiting on the Fusion Arc 1600 12X50 Rangefinder Binocular I picked out as well.

Good for you buddy! That is a nice peice-o-glass you got there. I have the Fusion 1600ARC 10x on the way to my house now! You'll have to get out and see how it does. Remember not to skimp on the rings....

[Firehaus]

Thanks! I have these on a scope already, thinking about just getting the 34mm version for this scope. Is there a better option?

I have heard the Larue guys are very nice, and that they have just gifted people an extra ring set for those mounts in the past. Don't quote me! But I would call Larue and inquire about a different size ring set. If you get them I want the "dillo dust"[Beer]

[Firehaus]

Anyone have any thoughts on if I should get the 20 MOA version or the 0 MOA? Thanks for the help!

How far are you shooting? Is this a bolt or AR? What caliber?

I have a 20 MOA scope base on my bolt rifle. The base uses the elevation so the rings don't need it. If its on a bolt rifle with a 20 MOA base I would probably get a 0 MOA. If its on a AR10 platform that will be shot to 1k I would say yes. Also just so you know, that scope will have a lot elevation travel (28 MIL or 100 moa). You may not need the extra 20 MOA the base gives you unless you are shooting out to a mile.

[Firehaus]

Great points, thanks. Main use for now will be an ar-10. I do want to practice out to 1000 yards though and I'm trying to save money in the future when I put it on a bolt 308, or 338. I'm cheap! Lol!

Thanks again for the help!

Ordered the 20 moa version. Figured since the scope has plenty of elevation travel I would be okay with the 20 MOA base either way.
