Just in case someone is shopping for a new Tacticool scope for their new LR rig I thought I would post this since it's kind of new. After reading a few comments on this scope I happened to bump into a LR shooter at a business conference and he was telling me about his new Accuracy International rifle and how he had sold his Nightforce and was trying to decide what to get. He was leaning toward US Optics but told me he had used the new Bushnell he described as" you know the one that the objective end kinda reminded him of a big MagLight". He said that it was pretty impressive and that he was considering it as well.
I actually knew what he was talking about as I as I said been reading what little info I could find.
I got one of those babies about a week ago but the intended gun will not be ready for a few more months so I had a few extra sets of LaRUE 104's so I put it in one (34mm) and tried it on the 6mmDTi.
I am very happy with it so far. I have only spent a little time with it so these are initial thoughts and as time goes on I will followup with some box test type info if some one is interested.
The scope is solid feeling with big lockable resettable knobs.Its is a FFP Mil/Mil of which I already have two others but they are the 3-15X50mm Weaver Tactical.
It does not have Illumination but not a deal breaker for me.
The reticle was one feature I really like better than the Weaver. I think I have read the owner of GAP custom rifles helped design it and It is easy to use and in fact I was so enamored I only dialed elevation once just to see if it worked like it was supposed to...IT DID!The remainder of the shots I took I just used the reticle to holdover the correct Mil's and shot. Very fast and easy.... while in women it's not always desirable
but in scopes I think very desirable!
The clicks are very tactile and audible better than my Nightforce in that department. The glass seems quite good slightly better than the Weaver which I have compared to the Vortex PST for reference. I would categorize the Vortex as adequate the Weaver good and the Bushnell quite good. It has been compared closer to the Vortex Razor HD by others more sophisticated in glass than me.
Anyway just wanted to throw this out there for now to help any folks that may be shopping for glass and I will follow-up with more as time allows. Here is the scope as I forgot to take a picture.
