Rifle Scopes New bushnell XRS3 has illumination!!

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.

I represent the Average Joes Shooting Coalition and we support your position on trying to look cool at the range. I'm sending you our Operators sticker kit for your scope and rifle : Sparta helmet, Gadsden and Punisher decals to cover any embarrassing factory logos.
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.
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

Are these still available?
I’ve only been behind my newer XRS3 very briefly but the difference with the new coatings they’re advertising vs the older XRS3 seems marginal at best. I was pleased with how it performed in the hot desert sun though. For the price, I am happy with it.
