I have the option to trade my 3-15 SWFA for a Bushnell Elite Tactical 3-12 with the G2 reticle (not the LHRS). It's for a Remington 5R 300 mag. I'm happy with my current scope but I get optic ADD and like to trade around from time to time. It'll be used both for target and hunting. Vote and help me decide. Thanks!

Thanks for the input guys. Anybody else? I'm slightly leaning to the bushy right now.
The swfa looks to be beating out the bushy right now
That's true, but I do value the input of others. If the bushnell has that much better glass or anything else over the swfa than it may be worth trading. The 3-12 or 3-15 power range is perfect for this application. Having the 3 power low end is excellent for hunting when a wide field of view is important. That's why I'm not considering a move to the 5-20. The 3-21 Bushnell would be great but it's also quite a bit heavier being a 34mm tube. I also like the G2 reticle alot. I've used it a handful of times on other rifles and it really seems pretty good.
Anybody else have any input over why one is better than the other? Like I said, I really like the 3-15 but if the 3-12 has much better glass clarity then I'd be fine with giving up the extra magnification.
Theres a 5x20hd swfa on the exchange for $850
Didn't like the reticle or the glass on the SWFA. I have two of the Bushnells that have been abused in the field and are still rockin'
I saw that. That's a smoking deal. I'm trying to sell my 1-6 swfa right now and if I do I'm picking that one up.
I like both pretty well. How much better do you think the glass is on the bushnell?
Yeah 850 is a steal. Those hd5x20 swfa are nice.
Much better imo. The only glass that is good in the SWFA lineup is the HD's. Non HD is terrible imo.
