Hey guys,
so I am getting back into the hobby after being away from it since 2013... Things have changed. My last rifle was a Blueprinted R700 30.06 that could shoot half moa or better if I did my part. it was paired with a Bushnell DMR 3-21 Horus H59 reticle. I got it in 2011 I think when Bushnell was looking for people to "beta test" their new tactical line of scopes. I was one of the original beta testers for it with the H58 reticle. After we finished testing it, I had it swapped out for a newer H59 version. The scope is great, but it's a 1st gen DMR scope from Bushnell. for me it does a great job.... but no zero stop, 5 mil turrets and I'm sure with the advancements in technology the glass is outdated and there are better stuff out there now.
That being said WMLRF really wasn't a thing back then. We were taught to range with mils (or an LRF I guess). Times have changed.
I just recently purchased a Seekins SP10 in 6.5 creedmoor and now there are actually couple PRS matches in my state I'd like to attend (this didn't exist back then either in my area).
I am contemplating of getting a scope in the ~$1500-2000 range but sticking to a tradtional LRF (I have an older from 2011 and it sucks bigtime).
ORRRR
Getting a nice diveboard style rings on my Bushnell DMR and getting one of the WMLRF offerings (prefering Tango 4000 or Maztech 2k with AB).
I've also considered maybe a Vortex offering for around 1000 bucks, and look for a used WMLRF in the 1000 range.
What do you guys think? is my Bushnell too outdated and there are better things out there that I can benefit from? or is the future now and I get a new scope?
I've been strongly eyeing the Buris XTR-PS and getting a WMLRF in the future for it, or getting the eliminator 6 and have a new glass and a WMRLF all built into one. I know it has it's downsides, but I think it can be mitigated after some practice and training. Also saw some Leupold Mk4/5 for around $2000 in the marketplace or a Razor Gen III for around $2300 as well. I do love the idea of XTR-PS where you just dial your distance and shoot away. what's even better is the eliminator 6 where you don't even need to lift your head.
