Re: Bushnell 3.5-21x50 G2DMR , Anyone have this?
It's a Great Choice especially for the Price. I actually ordered 2 at the same time from Liberty Optics. Scott will treat you right and hook you up! They're Feedback Response and Customer service are top notch. Upon receiving the Scope I was Very Impressed with it's packaging and clean look. It's Built like a Rock, very sturdy construction and very high quality finish. I'm not Glass Snobe and certainly not wealthy so This is the most expensive scope I've ever owned. I have however looked through (only) Many High Dollar Elite Brands and as far as I can tell the Glass for the Bushnell is right up there with them. I wouldn't say equal but Dam Close. Also it is Made in Japan which is very nice. I know many would say "Buy American" but we're talking about your hard earned money here. If you can buy a product like this with High Quality and half the price of American Top Brands then I'd say it's a no brainer. I do have to say though this scope looks kind of Funky with it's Short and Stubby Shape, so I'd opt for the 4 Inch Sunshade (Which came with both of mine). It made a world of difference for it's appearances and the "Tactic Cool" Factor.
Both of my scopes is the G2DMRs, and I'm very glad that I picked this RET. It's a Great Combo between Horus and MilDot RET. It's not as Busy as the Horus and More user friendly then the regular Mildots. Best of all it's very good both at Low and High Mags and the Lines are just about the perfect thickness for both ends. Unlike some of the other FFPs out there, when you zoom out the G2DMR RET to the lowest Mag it can still be used as a Regular Visible Cross Hair for CQB as the end lines which are actually bunch of small lines becomes solid looking and makes for a very good cross hair bar with the Center Cross thiner but still visible. I can see this being a very good CQB help as well. The Locking Turrents are VERY SOLID and Sturdy. Although without Zero Stop but the G2DMR is designed to be used in conjunction with Hold Overs which should get rid of a lot of the needs to Dial in the first place, this alos worksout for the 5 Mil per turn issue as well. The only thing that seems to be lacking is the Illuminated RET feature which many seems can't live without, however for the average joes like me that shoots 99% of the time in broad clear day light I'd say it's not enough to sway my purchase decision especially the Good Features Drastically out weight the lack of IR. All in all I am VERY Happy and Satisfied with this Purchase and Highly recommend this scope to anyone whoes in the Market and Price Range for a Rock Solid FFP Scope with a Awesome RET and CS to back it up. Bushnell offers 1 year like it or return it for full refund policy on these so yea, I can't think of anything else I have to lose even if I don't like it after the buy. I'd say if you're on the Fence then Go For it
