I was not including the 3200, 4200 or the 6500 as I was starting with the DMR series and newer. I am also excluding the Bushnell Elite LPVO options like the SMRS.

Hi folks, I am trying to establish a timeline of sorts on the Bushnell Elite line of scopes starting with the original DMR in 3.5-21x50mm. Here is what I got so far. Original DMR came out a long time ago. I want to say sometime around 2011-2012. Then came the HDMR then the ERS and the XRS in...

This is why I asked to be set straight on this. I have unrealistic expectations that need to be tempered down a notch. I'll try it out the way it is and see what happens.

Good point. Unfortunately I am stuck with the rifle as WA state laws would allow me to buy any semis. They have those "evil" features that make the bullets fly faster

So you think my expectations are bit too high? What would you expect an Aero M5 to shoot out of the box? 2-3MOA?

I know I chose poorly as far as accuracy is concerned but the tight timeframe and the lack of funds did not allow for anything better at the time. The rifle has a Burris XTR III 3.3-18 on it, Magpul SL stock and a Wilson Combat TTU single stage trigger. Also added a RifleSpeed Adjustable gas...

I had to rush and buy a AR-10 last year before a law took effect and got myself an Aero M5E1 18" in .308 because I could not find or afford something better. It came with a BA 18" 4150 CMV heavy profile barrel. I still have not taken the gun out to the range to try it. While fondling the gun...

So my XTR showed up and I immediately put the Bushnell next to it for the side by side comparison. Since the Bushnell is a 3-12 I set the XTR to 12x and tried to see if I can see a difference. To my eyes I could not tell much of a difference. The FOV on the XTR is bigger than the Bushnell. CA...

Thank you guys for all your responses and suggestions. I ended up picking up a Burris XTRIII 3.3-18x50 non-illuminated model from the classifieds. Can’t wait to get it and compare to my Bushnell.

XTR3 3-18 SCR- $850 I’ll take it.

Follow up question: What about the Bushnell Elite ERS 3.5-21x50 or the XRS line. I know they are discontinued but used are available. Do they have better glass than I have? As you can see I am partial to Bushnell because I have not used much of anything else.

Thank you for the posts. I fixed mine above as I guess I messed up the specs a bit. I'm not sure how helpful post #6 is. Not all of us can swing $4k+ optics. I like the sarcasm though. But #4 is definitely what I was looking for. I like LOW designs as the Bushnell I have is pretty good. That's...

Hello everyone, I don't post much here but do visit on a somewhat regular basis. I have been pondering on what to get for my next optic but not sure what direction to go. I currently own a Bushnell Elite Tactical 3-12x44 (ET3124FJ) and a Weaver Tactical 3-15x50 (800362). In the past I have...

I can beat that. I offer $1 shipped.

Everyone is waiting for a better deal. I was at my local groceries store and they restocked TP. I mentioned to the cashier that they finally got some on the shelves and he said that it will be gone by end of day. I don't get this TP obsession.
