Maybe they are just trying to get more of these scopes out there so people can see how good they are
I agree the tt & Sb turrets are in a different league, maybe the parallax too, vs the other scopes but for the $$ the pro is as good as it gets & this $970 open box price, there’s no other scope with this quality of build under $1000. There might be some close in optical but not in reliability/durability & optical
With the sale price on the xrs2 why not sell the ares & get another xrs2. If you are looking for something different the mk5hd 56mm 25x, trijicon accupower 4.5-30x56 these can be found under $2000. The higher end tangent theta & pmii are awesome scopes that have the best turrets, glass, and the parallax is so easy to focus on these 2 scopes, I’m not getting rid of my pmii or mk5hd but seriously considering getting the dmr pro at that sale price
With all the bushnell sales going on..any of the ED glass is worth it...standard dmr2 are plenty here for sell with about same price vs sales
For that price I can give up illumination, you could get the xrs 2 for not much more
Bought this as all around/spare scope...rifle to rifle including small to med game hunting.and gas rifle..which is why i didnt pick razor g2 for the weight...
The lrts 4-18x is good all around versatile scope for hunting or target & $700. It’s about the same weight as a razor amg 28oz & good glass
I wanted more compact for AR typ rifle too shorter more mag IMO is better.and im 34mm tube hoe lol
Good choice hard to pass on that price, I’m going to the bank tomorrow to move some $$ around to buy one too hopefully there not sold out otherwise I’ll try to get the xrs2
I would. I'm in Canada though and when I checked, they don't have the option of shipping to Canada on their website. Would be hard not to buy one even if I didn't need it at that price
I called & asked about that. The rep said they were just returns for what ever reason & are inspected & repacked but if they were defective then they were fixed so they put refurbished also. They also said I could return it if I thought there was a problem & they have the no fault fix or replace warranty so i ended getting the xrs 2 & a dmr pro for just under $2000, it would have been just over $2k but I had a special coupon code they gave after I had to send my ffp 15-45x60 spotter in twice to be replaced & both times I got a new spotter in a week, hard to beat that
Yeah the top end scopes just do everything a little bit better. I have had the xrs2 & Pro next to my pmii 56mm & mk5hd 56mm. My friend who owns the tangent theta owns the xrs2 & Pro first told me how close it was I didn’t believe him. When I had my scopes & his scopes next to the bushnells I was immediately surprised how close it was optically. The xrs2 & Pro will surprise most people how close they are to the top scopes. I don’t think you can find a better scope at the sale prices. Most of the bad reviews are mostly from people who just glanced through the scope not owners & just dismissed it. It takes time, different conditions, & a lot of shooting to get a good comparison of higher quality scopes to see what it does good & bad
My pmii handles outer edge distortion & ca better too. Most rifles scopes are not that good at outer edge distortion & ca though, even the high end scopes aren’t great especially vs binoculars like the Swarovski SV or the Zeiss SF models. No scope I have seen yet compared to these binoculars because they have flat field eyepieces that control distortion almost to the very edge where rifle scopes have field curvature. If you get a chance look through the best rifle scopes & then look through a Zeiss SF or Swarovski SV & you will see what I mean.
They are just open box returns according to bushnell cs. I asked why they say refurbished, his reply was they have to if they did any work to fix them but he said almost all them were returns for personal reasons & they inspect every scope before they go out & if you are dissatisfied they will fix or replace the scope or return for refund. People are picky & will return scopes sometimes for insignificant reasons or maybe the wife found out & forced the return, it happened at my uncles gun shop a few times
