    BUSHNELL -- SAVE ME FROM BEING FORCED TO BUY AN ULTRA SHORT ! ...... the temptation is strong without a new Bushnell alternative. My wallet will thank you. 😁

    Reasoning: IMO - If I'm going to spend up to $3,000 for the usual brand in that price range, I might as well go all the way and get exactly what I want . A $1900 Bushnell alternative is just as reliable and offers Glass good enough to make me happy..

    @Team RCBS & Bushnell any updates yet, we got to be getting close to announcement time?

     
    Another forum has a thread on a new LRHS2 that’s being field tested I think.

    There's a thread here on it, too. George has been posting about it on FB, it's going to be a GAP exclusive.

    I heard wind of something special coming, but it's going to be a bit of a wait; late summer is the rumor.

    Aww, what ya gotta be like that for? What did you hear?

    This kind of thing sucks, everyone has been hanging on for ages thinking at least some details about reticle updates or something will drop soon. Starting to feel like Bushnell’s marketing team is taking lessons from fake supermodels on dating websites. “oh no baby I’ll show you sooooon, I promise”🙄
     
    What do we prefer, Hiders?

    No info until the scope is shipping, or an introduction but months-long wait from introduction to availability as the industry has seen multiple times in the past?
    We're shifting more towards the former while in the past we've done more of the latter.

    When Match Pro was released you could buy it that day, although the demand on them was way over the top of what we thought it'd be and we've struggled on inventory on them every since. By the way - Those are going to be back in stock in a ~week.

    When we launched the Sport 850 you could buy it that day.

    We're trying to get away from the launch it then make people wait 6-12 months for it to be available thing. That said, OPSEC is still tight on these. I will say I think we're going to see more Elite Tactical on the firing line than we have in previous years.

    Yes, please.....Grabbed an XRS2 and an LRTS recently, and I've been super impressed.....inventory on them has dried up (obviously), so you got me hooked but now I have no place to get my fix......bring me more Elite Tactical options!!!
     
    I'm a little worried about where they are going to be making their scopes at. I don't have any insider information or anything like that- but I happened to be at the scope counter when the owner was talking to a Bushnell rep (or sales guy or distributer or whatever- he was pushing Bushnell). We started talking and he mentioned the Forge line and if I was interested in it. Told him no because it was made in China. He told me it wasn't a big deal because it was built to their specs and the quality was excellent- and it was able to keep the price lower for what you get.

    Really hope that they don't follow that same thinking with the Elite line.

    Elite Tactical will still be made in Japan.
