Rifle Scopes New Bushnell Forge Scopes

Any guesses on how long it will be before these are listed on Expert Voice? I've got a 7WSM that I'm debating between a LRTSi and Forge. UPDATE: Bushnell says hopefully “In the Fall.”

I know the quality of a LRTSi. I actually used one at ASC in May. Too me, its a known quantity and the Forge is not.
I had a chance to look at both their forge 4.5-27 scope and their forge binos. Both have exceptional glass. I would say the bino glass was on par with my swaro binos. The scope glass I compared to a vortex Razor and it seemed every bit as good. This was in a store so I can't tell you much more than what my eyes saw. The reticle in the forge scope wasn't very useful until 10x. The forge was lighter than the vortex razor and even lighter than the vortex viper PST. The turrets seemed good... The only complaint I have is that it's stamped with china.... I really liked the reticle on the forge. If they weren't so new and weren't china made I would have picked one up. I wI'll be picking up a set of their forge binos, they completely dominated the vortex viper HD the store had to compare against in its price point. The FOV is great out of the forge, the glass is amazing and the brightness was hands down leaps above the vortex binos.
Here’s a new review of the Engage scope. http://www.snipercentral.com/bushnell-engage-2-5-10x44mm-full-review/
Just to clarify, I have had nothing but good experience with Bushnell's customer service through the years.
Are they as lenient as Vortex, well probably not?
However, if you intentionally destroy your riflescope, I don't think that they should have to warranty that anyway.
What I can say is I have had several experiences with Bushnell's customer service and they have all been positive.
I've posted this in other threads before and will continue to post this:
If you have an issue with CS with any brand we handle, whether you purchased the item from us or not, as a supporting vendor here you should always feel welcome to contact us to assist you. It's our pleasure to help out however we can.
Not too long ago somebody posted that they had something wrong and had bought it from XYZ. Doug requested the gentleman contact him. As far as I know the gentleman got his problem resolved. Doug is super supportive of the Hide folks and the products he sells. The fact he’s willing to help folks who didn’t buy from him speaks volumes about customer service.
Not meant to shun folks from other Hide vendors by any stretch. I’ve just been happy with the items I purchased fromDoug and part of that is due to standing behind his brands.

Any idea if Expert Voice discounted scopes also qualify for the rebate? Brings this 4.5-27x50 scope down to $350...
I’ve had nothing but good experience with Bushnell’s cs just my issue is supposing good scopes go bad with very little use out of them but cs has always replaced the scopes in question just they also go bad well before time it should they used to be good scopes but now these new scopes r hit and miss I think... very sad for the hunter
Ur opinion do u think the new forge rifle scope will hold up close to the elite scopes from bushnell thanks
