Rifle Scopes Exciting scopes coming from Bushnell the ERS & XRS Gen II
- Thread starter 5RWill
- Start date
No matter how good something is or is supposed to be, never be the first guy on the block to buy anything.
The XRS is a good scope with great reticle and the XRSII seems to be improved, but this offering will be out for some time before I take it seriously. The long range hunter scopes at this time are probably the best scope Bushnell offers. I do have to say that Bushnell is trying to offer a decent package with the average guy’s wallet in mind...
I honestly don't remember the ERS/XRS dropping that quickly. There were some sales every now and then for 1500$ but it was 1999$ for a while.
I'm almost positive that $2250 is MAP on the XRS2, not the MSRP. As long as that's the case, don't expect that price to drop any time soon. Plus I am hearing rumor of something new coming to fill the slot between the DMR2 and XRS2, so there's even less reason for the price to come down.
It would have to be an ERS II if i guessed but i don’t see the point truthfully. DMR II is 1599$ XRS at 2249$. Wouldn’t be against it but i feel like the prices are already pretty close.
Not an ERS2, but it's going to be a nice option. If what I am hearing is what shakes out, I could see it being very popular for gas gun guys.
I'm interested to see what you're talking about. We talking around ED prime glass?
This looks like a fantastic scope if they got the glass right. Very cool.
Any updates? Mine should ship tomorrow. Wish I could have kept my XRS 1 to compare them side by side.

That was December 1st when you posted, are you able to post pics of this mysterious scope? Gas gun friendly with top tier glass, I'm very curious, especially if it's something that could give the EoTech Vudu Super Short 5-25 a run for its money...
Curious to see if anyone has received theirs as well.
Read the whole thread didn’t see this mentioned. Did they retain the same setscrew-less zero they had on the ERS and XRS. I run an switch barrel rifle and being able to rezero the turret that easy is a big deal.
On a side not I have an ERS and absolutely love it. This new XRS seems to adress the weak points of the old ones. If it keeps with Busnells quality it will be an excellent buy.
Interested in getting one even if it will be awhile.

I'm also very interested in this scope. I would love some feed back on it. I can get a PST Gen ii, or this for 600 more, or a Gen ii for another 500 more (so 1100 more than PST Gen ii) (LE discount, don't want to give rates out if not acceptable). Really stuck on which to get....
Any updates on this? Still haven't found a comprehensive review.
My apologies for the delay. I received my scope last month and have yet to zero it. Bushnell sent it without an instruction manual. Attached is the draft version I received.
These are photos of my XRS 2 mounted.

Still waiting to get range time to zero it.

Damn that makes me wonder where the price falls? Also would make sense how there were so many sales going on for the DMRII.
I think it would make things interesting if they dropped the DMR II to 1300$ and put the DMR II pro at 1600$. Though i'm inclined to think 1799$.
Having said that all these new scopes being released from Bushnell i still don't know anyone who actually owns an XRS II nor have i seen a single review of one. Only looked through it briefly and that was nearing a year ago.

Well approaching a year later and we've got somewhat of a launch i guess. Still haven't seen a end user review.
I've been looking for some reviews myself. Nothing out there on this yet that I've found either. Would love to hear some personal experiences of it.
Anyone have the .mil pice yet? If so a PM would be eagerly appreciated. Thanks
I'm in Oz and just placed a deposit on an in stock XRS Gen 2 4.5-30x50 G3 for $1,890 AUD. Which is about $1,500 USD.
To good to pass up on really. I'll let you all know soon how it goes up against a PM2.

I have a XRS gen2 with H59 sitting at my local store,will hopefully pick it up tomorrow and post back.
Too true man
First time in forever there is a product thats cheaper to Buy in OZ lol ,, thanks to tasco losing the distribution ,i got myself a LRTS 4.5-18 x 44 for the Street Price in the US but in Aussie dollars
I was like Sign me up lol
like the DMR II 3.5-21x50 is cheaper in AUD than there selling for in USD
Yeah it's bizarre! I have a LRHS 3-12 which I love, so I figured I should give the XRS 2 a go.
So do you know much more about the Tasco situation? How does it equate to cheap scopes is my question.
Yep in the sales world it’s known as a dump and burn , good for us 
Nioa has a real monoply going...
Bloody Nioa, you just know they'll double the price. Tempted to drop the hammer on one of these at the current runout price, it would just be nice to see some type of real world review.
Wait so Vista Media Group doesn't own Bushnell anymore or am i misinterpreting this?
No,this is for Australia only.
Oh i was going to say...how did i miss this news?
I'm contemplating spending the extra $100 AU for the H59 model. I've never used a Horus reticle, but the .2 mil wind holds are really interesting me. And a $100 is still pretty cheap for the Horu premium.
What say you?
What say you?
Who was this through mate?
Magnum Sports brother.
Ah yeah nice. They are good blokes to deal with. Just put a deposit on a nightforce through them. So these optics are going to get bumped in price?
Yep,they’ll be $3k in a few months
Ergh. What a cunt
Any opinions on the G3 vs H59? I think the H59 will be more suitable for longer ranges and comps. Is it useable at all below 7 power?
halves and fulls are OK at 7 , forget about the point 2s lol
Only used the G2 first time for the G3 and never seen the H59

Well I’ll have some more information and pictures to come but here is what I just recieved today finally!
