Bushnell has it going in the right direction</div></div>
yes thank you for that
now if you expect me to believe that bushnell's glass is on par with the likes of S&B or USO who illuminate their reticles... well.....
last I heard they still have issues with chromatic aberration which for the price point might be a willing concession for a lot of folks (myself included) but I would find it very difficult to believe their glass is going to be THAT good at the 1500-2k price level </div></div>
No one has made the claim that the Bushy glass is as good as S&B and USO. They are, however, proven, with good reticle choices, lots of internal adjustment, and WAY cheaper.
The XRS with a 4-30 range will have a street price a bit over $2k.
The new S&B 3-27 is going to cost $6k. It will have better glass and illumination for nearly 3 times the cost.
What a bargain.

<span style="color: #FF0000">funny</span> that you took that much effort to lecture me and in the end agreed with everything I said
S&B and USO have better glass than Bushnell, we all know this. Yet they still choose to offer illuminated reticles
hmmmmmmm....
USO has an upcharge of just about a couple hundred bucks for the option so let's say Bushnell decided to do the same.
now here's where you make the same point as myself....
I could buy the HDMR gen one or two with an additional cost for the illumination, then buy another one, and possibly even another one yet for the price of the S&B
follow me?
I assure you that however many gen2 HDMR's they end up selling in the next year in the current format, they could minimum of double it with this one simple option even if there was the surcharge. There are SO many people that want everything this scope has (along with illumination) who can't afford S&B but could definitely afford the Bushy.
Huge oversight on their part
</div></div>
Glad I could amuse you.
I suspect that Bushnell will get right on it now that you've illuminated (pun intended) the error of their ways.
Meanwhile I'll continue to enjoy the excellent performance and value of my DMR and ET6245 which were both built sans illumination.
