Rifle Scopes SWFA SS 3-15x VS Bushnell LRHSI 4.5-18 For PRS

[rockymountainamateur]

I think I have narrowed down my decision between the Bushnell

LRHSI https://www.gaprecision.net/ga-store/optics/bushnell-lrhs-4-5-18x44-g2h-illum-1.html

and the SWFA SS 3-15x

These will be mounted on a Bergara B14 6.5 Creedmoor, and used for PRS matches in the future as well as just having fun to 600 yards, maybe a little more. I like the reticle on the SWFA better, but its not a huge deal breaker. I am wondering how is the overall build quality of both, which will have better glass, and how the tracking is on the Bushnell, i understand the tracking on the SWFA is quite good. I have never looked through either and would like to know how they stack up. I can not seem to find how much internal adjustment the Bushnell has.

The SWFA is quite good, but lacks a zero stop. I’ve had two and still have a fixed 10x. The glass is good but not HD level, but absolutely useable. I place tracking above glass. The bushy is an excellent option as well and would have a tree reticle. But those are personal choices. Either will be an excellent option.

After having owned the SWFA 3-15, I would choose the Bushy with the G2 reticle. But that’s just me.

750 for the LRTSi is a pretty good deal. Other 10 mil zero stop, under 750 worth mention are the Athlon Ares, Athlon midas Tac, and Nikon FX-1000. You can find the XTRII around that price also. You can cruise the PX to find some deals.

The Nikon is a great feature, performing scope for the price range. Definitely would be a consideration.

You can get zero stooscfor the swfa. No evofvthe other choices can match the tracking of the swfa turrets.

Sorry didn't proof read my my keypads messed up.
You can buy aftermarket zero stops for the swfa.
None of the choices above can match the swfa in the tracking and repeatability department.

I cant say anything bad about the SWFA, but I think those two scopes are just in different classes. I have an LRSTI 4.5-18x44 which is the same glass as the LRHS. It is a great scope with great glass. I don't have the extensive use on it as I do some other Bushnell's but it has tracked true and worked well as far as I've used it. I think for the money, the Bushnell is a better value without a doubt given what they retailed before being discontinued. If you are ok with the reticle, that's the route I would go...

Have you tested tracking on the Bushnell scopes? I have and they were 100% accurate and repeatable on the 4 I have tested. These were all LRTS and LRHS scopes that I tested. I own both the Bushnell and SWFA scopes. Both are good options, but I do not believe either to have better tracking or repeatability than the other.
