Bushnell 6-24x50 Elite Tactical LRS 30mm Rifle Scope - 08/14/17 07:30 PM

Thinking of getting this and putting it on my Savage 6.5 Creed. Reviews seem good. Anyone got a negative review of it or something else I should consider in the same feature and price range? Viper PST?

I have the BTR-MIL version, model ET6245FJ. Shop hard and you can get a good price, I paid <$700 new from Midway.

I have both if you want to compare them. Actually I have all 3 if you're wanting to compare the Gen 1 PST and Gen 2 PST. I'd be happy to meet you at a range and let you look through them.

This is the one I have. The G2DMR reticle is awesome.

Is that the illuminated version of this scope?

The description on Amazon is wrong. The scope is not illuminated.

Bushnell beats Gen I PST, hands down.

I'm a reformed optics snob--and at one time would not let anything but a S&B, or Swarovski. Rest on a rifle. I shot the badlands course with a Swarovski Z5 with a BT turret. A gent next to me let me shoot his fancy 6.5 SAUM with a bushnell DMR 3x21 on it...I later met George Gardner at FTW ranch and shot with him...he also had an elite on his 6 creedmoor.... I now own a Elite 3x12, DMR 3.5x21,a XRS 4.5x30, and 2 LRHS...for the dollars spent I love the G2 retical and the glass is good enough... I have a Swaroviski X5 that I'm fond of--but the Tactical elites are all mounted...

Don't think you will go wrong.
