Rifle Scopes Horus h59 vs Bushnell G2DMR

[CroceF]

Does anyone know if the Bushnell G2DMR reticle can be used for holdoff and elevation correction in essentially the same manner as the Horus h59?

I like the look of G2DMR because it is $200 less than the h59 and because it appears to be less cluttered but would that cleaner look detract from the ability to hold off and hold over? The idea of not having to use turrets is appealing to me.

Does anyone here actually know from experience or from being told by another person who has actual experience with them?

Thanks for your help.

I currently own a S&B PMII H59 and a Bushnell ERS with G2 reticle. They are both nice but I would definitely prefer the G2 reticle over the h59. the "tree" on the g2 is very useful for holdovers and is far less clutter. Unless you specifically like the H59 over the G2 for one reason or another I would save the cost and get the g2.

This is all based on MY personal preference...

I also have the ERS/G2 and it makes holding over/holding off very easy.

Thank you both, Don and Joop. I am needless to say happy with your experience. I like the looks of the G2 better than the h59 but had heard nothing in the sales talk about using it in place of turrets.

There are diagrams that show the measurements of the markings so you can get an idea of what holdovers are possible with the reticle. I would take a look at these.

I have looked at them Don, but if the target is outside the tree marks, I do not understand how to get an intersecting picture with the stadia. The h59 move is apparent because the marks cover almost the entire bottom half of the reticle. Hope what I just wrote does not confuse more than clarify.

I understand what you mean however I would imagine it would have to be quite windy for you to have to run out of marks on the tree. If you are that concerned about the marks going further out than get the h59. I don't live in a particularly windy state here.

I don't think you would be going wrong with the h59. There is just nothing that the g2 has not been able to do at a lower cost YET.

Thanks Don, I am not in a particularly windy area either. I'm just across the valley from you in Glendale. Thanks for your advice. I believe I will save a couple hundred dollars and go with the G2. Buy ammo with the saved money.

Horus; good for stoping flies.

G2dmr; good for shooting.
