Rifle Scopes Bushnell LRTSI 4.5x18 Review

[Harv24]

I took a half day today to hit the range (hit 50 today) and was able to zero, play with my New (to me) Chronograph and did a box test and tall target test.
Now keep in mind, I'm not an Optics SME... I had a Mk 4 fixed 10X Leupold on here for the last 24 years (That's right) and finally sold it to buy a new scope.
I've been a MOA guy, but wanted to take the plunge on the Mil side and I have to say, I like it... used 3 rds to get a zero, it was stupid simple.

My Set up in .308 A Rem PSS I bought back in 1994. This rifle shoots 1/4MOA with 168 gr SMK's. I put on a new EGW 20MOA Picatinney rail and Seekins .89" Low rings.



Tall target on the left was right on the money as I dialed up 5 and 10 mils

the Box test was off on the left side by 1 mil of windage and 1 mil of elevation (I made the box 3 mils....

) but dialed 4mils left and up
but it still looked good.

So I re-shot it....


and right on the money...

the scope was everything I was hoping it would be... and has met my expectations... I'm happy with my choice. and with the rebate I hope to get, this scope will have cost me under $800.

Now that I have some good numbers for MV on my ammo, the next trip is out to the range to hit the 600 yd steel.

I have been using it's brother the LRHS for 2 years and it has not let me down.

Does that kill ring bother you at all?

It's on a hunting rifle so no haha. At lower mag and in low light it is pretty hard to see the reticle so the kill ring is nice.

I sooo wish I knew about this scope before I bought my Weaver 6-30..... I love my Weaver, but this has a far superior reticle.

Excellent post and awesome test.

Right on, I'm glad to see this. I recently purchased a LRHSi, so I am hoping that mine performs comparably to yours.

I thought the glass was great. Turrets very nice. All around great scope......but, thought the reticle was just a tad thick. Not by a lot.....just a little too thick.
