Somebody is listening. This guy checks a lot of boxes:

10"
20oz
Illuminated crosshair

I need to test this.

Reticle is terrible but price is right

I wouldn't say "terrible".

But my design would be far better.

MilDot would not be my first choice, for sure. I like the Burris SCR reticle a lot more (or something similar). But I am anti-Christmas tree for hunting, I don't want anything that involved.

interesting!!!

Dang, this looks solid. Would love to see a test/write up on it.

We need more lightweight MIL FFP scopes.

Count me in the interested bunch. Love the weight for the features. Please let us know if anyone has experience with this. I am currently in the market for something to put on my bolt action grendel and this seems perfect but never heard of GPO.

Check out the Maven RS1.2 https://mavenbuilt.com/products/rs1-2-2-5-15x44-ffp

6 Oz heavier but much better reticle and proven reliability.

That's an awesome reticle for hunting. I might have to get one for my next build. Thanks for sharing!

I got one 3 weeks ago. Ran it out to 600 yards at JG’s verifying dope on my 6.5 SAUM. There’s not much not to like about it.

If I had one thing to pick on my limited use so far would be to drop the illumination or offer a non-illuminated model to make it lighter.

Shut your pie whole, worst scope ever(unless you want the MOA reticle)

It;s a nice scope, but compared to the GPO, there's nothing compact about it.

Wish they hadn't stopped making the Bushnell LHRS 3-12x42, I have on that has been used for years, stupidly sold the 2nd one I had. I liked it better than the 4.5- X they came out with later.
Wouldn't hesitate to buy another one used

I agree.

I got one for my cousin's Tikka .308. It's his first FFP Mil/Mil scope. He loves it!
I've tried to buy it off him, and he wisely turns me down every time.

me and a buddy said in a blind past dark with the LHRS and a Nightforce 2.5-10x42 and I had to admit the LHRS had better low light (slight) performance.
It sits now on top of my Tikka 7mag

I keep thinking they will re-launch it,

I thought they did for a short while, but it was a limited production run or something...maybe I am making that up?

I will occasionally see one used in the 800-1000 range on rokslide. It always tempts me, but then again, a lot of hunting gear tempts me.

I have one on my .300wsm, and it is a great scope.

GA Precision was able, two different times, to get the 4.5-18x produced in small batches for them. I bought one the first time they ran it. They have them again right now, $959.

Ok, yeah i wasn’t crazy.

My used lrhs is a great scope. If i needed an awesome hunting scope for short or lionger distance, this would be it.

Do you have to order direct to buy a Maven RS1.2 - 2.5-15x44 FFP? All this talk has got me wanting to buy a new scope. This one seems to fit the bill.

Yes unless you order through guidefitter if you are vet/first responder

I just ordered two more as the MIL SHL is back in stock as of two hours ago

It’s hard to beat from a hunting specs standpoint point

I don't even see Maven as a brand on Guidefitter.com Is that the place you were referring too? I'm a retired from the Army. Never really used that status to get deals, so not even sure how to do it.

Pm sent

saw this today on Steiner's website
hoping to get my hands on one to review

https://www.steiner-optics.com/products/h6xi-2-12x42mm

I want to help with the 3-18X

23 ounces, hell yes!

Going to 3-18x costs ya a 1/4lb Being a 6x reticle, bottom end is going to be pretty skinny for daylight and dark.

I haven't found any scope at 18x that truly works great at the last few minutes, I generally have to back off the magnification and that is with the best scopes out there..
I do like the idea of reduced weight with the 30mm tube vs 34/5 of a "tactical" scope as you don't probably need that much elevation capability hunting.

Been running a Steiner Tactical 3-15x50 on my 16" 308 the last few years for hunting and it has worked great, having said that, for my normal "max" hunting of around 500 the LHRS 3-12 absolutely does the job,

Since this thread started 2 months ago has anyone tried out the GPO Centauri? I have found that Superior Outfitters currently has them for $499. Anyone have experience with Superior?

Camera land put them on sale for $509.

Looks like you would need a picatinny rail for that scope to work. You don’t get much tube length for rings.

I just mounted Athlon Ares BTR 4.5-27x50 MRAD, FFP, Illuminated Reticle on my new 22 ARC. I'm very impressed with it so far. I have a Nightforce ATACR and NX8 and a couple Gen 3 Razors and it definitely is not on their levels but I would say it compares very well to a Burris XTR II (Not my XTR III). It is 27 oz so its not a feather but it isn't a pig either. I have only shot it out to 300 yards but it performed well. I like higher magnification power than really needed on then less than premium glass because 20x on a 27x scope looks a lot better than 18x on an 18x scope with sub $1k glass. My opinion only..

Needs to be run through the “mils” under the recoil of a 300 mag or something to see if it holds. Interesting scope for sure. See how it optically compares to other mid-tier glass

Cyclops is entertaining but generally likes everything.

I'm about to get a Leica AMPLUS 6 3-18x44 in my hands to test out. Will let you know how it goes. 23.6 oz.

I'll be testing out their clip on thermal as well with it. Very excited for that!
