Rifle Scopes New bushnell XRS3 has illumination!!

I agree , Bushnell isn't Tier 1 but some of their Elite offerings are definitely reliable and get the job done. Clearly the Blue Collar level of optics. Every time I try to move on from my 4.5 - 18 I can't find anything that significantly out performs in field conditions. I'm hoping they elevate their glass with this new 6-36. I can afford ATACR , But I prefer a $2k limit if possible

Rifle Scopes March 5-42 Gen 2 PRS Edition

Are the Gen 1 and Gen 2 versions the same glass wise? Are the differences between Gen 1 and Gen 2 reticle and turret/mechanical differences only?
My understanding is that the Gen 1 and Gen 2 use the same High Master, Super-ED glass. The Gen 2 has been tweaked to enhance the IQ of the edges when full adjustment is applied. As you noted, the turrets are different between the generations and the PRS edition's writable turrets are different from the regular gen 2 Shuriken turrets.

Israel/iran

kinda sounds like a fair deal but we really do not live in a fair world nor do i see israel warming up to the idea of no nuke weapons and the US will side with them .

It's a pipe dream. It would never happen. But I think the Western world should push for it.

The biggest foreign threat to the USA is Israel. Not China or Russia, or North Korea. Israel.

They drag us into catastrophic regime change operations in the ME which turn into unwinnable "forever wars" at the cost of trillions of dollars and thousands of lives. They are the largest recipient of US aid. They spend hundreds of billions influencing our elections, to the benefit of a foreign government. They spy on us, and one of the achievements from that is stealing our nuclear technology and illegally building a stockpile of nuclear weapons. They are the most provocative force in the ME, waging constant warfare against its neighbors.

Hell, the only country you can't legally criticize in the United States is Israel. We can criticize our own government, but it's illegal to criticize Israel. How messed up is that?

I emailed Bushnell asking when they would have more DMR3's with the EQL reticle in stock and got a response from them the same day. Hopefully its a sign they're turning things around regarding CS.

I'm impatient and found a used one here on the hide and bought it instead. This will be my second DMR3 - I regretted selling my first one back in January. I also recently bought one of their Match Pro ED 3-18's for my "practice" gun and have been really impressed with it for the price.

I have owned most everything in the $1500-2000+ range - NF ATACR's, NX8's, Mark 5HD's, T6xi's etc, and the DMR3 has been one of my favorite scopes to get behind. I wish it wasn't, because I'm shallow and Bushnell makes ugly looking scopes (come on Bushy, the "Elite Tactical" branding looks cheesy af), and you get zero cool points for having a Bushnell on your gun, which is actually important to me. But the truth is, Bushnell makes a pretty good scope.
This made me laugh. Good one.

I happen to like Bushnell and am probably the opposite of you in that I care not how it looks as long as it does the job for a low amount of money. I have a number of other types and brands of scopes and each has its own pros/cons. But since I buy for a specific use, that works out for me.

Israel/iran

Removing both of those country's over there, would solve three issues at once,...
You really think that letting the Canaanites destroy The Little Satan will stop them from trying to destroy The Great Satan?

While the rest of the Arabs seem to finally accept that the Joos are going nowhere, the 12er Satanists do not and never will. Even after loosing the bulk of their technological military it will not dissuade what they see as a religious imperative. You can not use rationality to understand irrationality. You just have to accept it and act accordingly. Maybe 50 years of totalitarian indoctrination have not managed to turn the bulk of the Iranian people into terrorists like it has the Canaanites.

Varget in 6mm GT (sorry so fabulous i forgot to add which 6)

So had a problem with my barrel getting really fouled with Varget (first time I've used it). Traditionally be a H4350 or 4064 user. Does Varget just run dirty? Is it the move to a smaller bore (I've trad shot 6.5 and 30)? Am I unlucky (very well could be).

Also shot a ton with a can.

What 6mm are you talking about? Pretty open question. But having use Varget in my .308 for decades I don’t find it dirty at all. Runs pretty clean just like H4350.

Like mentioned though for my 6mm Creedmoor I moved to N160 with the 110 ATips and it works great.

FRT's - What is good? And what is Rare Breeds real website?

Someone needs to come out with a FRT for an MP5 with a 3 position selector switch. I see they got the push button safety style but you couldnt pay me to have one, I just dislike them. I have an MP5 clone I want one for along with the aluminum lower. Im crossing my fingers hoping the short act and HPA will pass and I can put a stock on it and the suppressor. That with an FRT would be awesome.

Luckily I don't have any qualms with push button, so I printed a leber V2 lower for my AP5-P, bought a hardware kit for it and am only waiting for a SS to populate it with to give it a try, can't wait.

AS designs is taking pre-orders for a 7075 mp5/ap5 lower that takes AR FCGs, looks like it's specifically not compatible with the Super Selektor, don't know about other designs.
