^Awesome! So it seems the FOV calculation from the last page was incorrect. Can you check the FOV in mils at 30X on the Bushnell? Calculation had it at 6 mils per side, while the XTR3 has 7.

I’d say Hollywood has it pretty close there. I just checked my Burris and at 30 it’s 7 on the nose. So the XRS3 is not giving up much at all in FOV at all.^Awesome!

If the XRS3 uses the same optical formula as the XRS2, which was the same as the basic LOW design then about 6.1mil at 30x is about right (that's what in my Delta Stryker).
The difference between that and the XTR3 puts the Burris at 15% wider which is quite a considerable difference.
Is an extra 1.5 ft on each side of the FOV at low power really “quite a considerable difference”?If the XRS3 uses the same optical formula as the XRS2, which was the same as the basic LOW design then about 6.1mil at 30x is about right (that's what in my Delta Stryker).

1.5ft is full size IPSC in the field of view or notIs an extra 1.5 ft on each side of the FOV at low power really “quite a considerable difference”?
Not trying to be a smart ass, just doesn’t seem like it. Now 15% on 3.3x is a decent amount more.
Ah, I see. Makes sense.1.5ft is full size IPSC in the field of view or not

15% is definitely a noticable difference at all mag ranges, I have scopes that have less than 10% difference between them and can notice it instantly.
Some people don't seem to phased by FOV but it's something I've grown to be very fond of.
There is a little more to FOV than just specs on paper as explained in Ilyas video here.
Usually a scope with super wide FOV will also have a very small black ring/cardboard tube type effect.
Either way FOV is something I look for as having been used to super wide (Vortex PST Gen2) and having bought a Delta Stryker (fairly middle of the road) I am continually annoyed by the image I am presented at the eyepiece.
Has anyone compared this scope to the nightforce atarc? Since they are calling it the atarc killer?
I haven't had a chance to compare a 3 with a 7-35 yet, but the XRS2 was *very* close to my eyeballs, and the 3 is a noticeable improvement.
If anyone wants to see an XRS3 in person, I will be RO'ing the Kestrel Fall Classic at Altus this weekend, but my match rifle (with XRS3) will be with me.
@Team RCBS & Bushnell AND @Hollywood 6mm
do you have an estimate of when the DMR 3 will be available with t3? Or if it will have the t3 in the future may be a better question
I bought the DMR3 to see for myself in varying conditions. I love it. It’s performed well. I won’t be selling my ZCOs or SB but for 1/4 the price it’s excellent. It’s a perfect fit for rifles that don’t need $4K glass.So I took several looks though both scopes throught the Grind. Pretty much everytike I had the chance. And I have to say I REALLY like them. I am shooting Schmidt and Bender and ATACRs currently, but I don't see myself giving up much to runnone of these newer Bushys
Compared to a NX8, there is no comparison the new Bushnells are better everywhere I can think of, eyebrow, turrets, parallax.. the glass is way better to my eyes.
The only thing hard about buying a Bushnell to me is that I have always looked down on the idea ? Of using a scope at this price point... bit that just seems foolishbafyer handling these new products. I will own one myself soon...

Been on the fence but those words are really encouraging. I have a monox lr which I love great glass but might be trading or selling to get one of these to try out.Mine came in today and all I have to say is wow!
If you have been on the fence about getting one of these do it, you won't be disappointed!
- the glass is excellent-better than the Nightforce ATACR and on par with my S&B PMII
- the click spacing is perfect
- the clicks are nice and crisp
- there is no tunneling
- the eye box is super forgiving
- the reticle is very well thought out and easy to use
- the parallax is perfect for a rimfire if needed
- The zero stop is super easy to use
- the price is stupidly low
I would assume he was taking about the xrs3 since the dmr3 tunnels from 3 to about 4.5-5Adam
You referring to XRS3 or DMR3?
I want to try one, but the more I look at the ret, the more I have to justify it. Let's see what other ret's they license - maybe an MSR2?
mover?XRS3 G4P Reticle. I noticed 0.25 mil subtensions up to 1 mil in all directions. Then windage subtensions at 1.2 mils? WTF, why not keep it all 0.25 mil increments or 1/10th's?

Mine tunnels noticeably at 3.5 and then tapers quickly to 4.25-4.5 I’m guessing. Definitely nowhere near 5.I would assume he was taking about the xrs3 since the dmr3 tunnels from 3 to about 4.5-5
Educate me on this 1.2 mover hold. What scenario would it require 1.2? I've only shot 5 mover stages and the longest was 800yds with a 3mph mover which required 2 mil lead (wind was at my back).Yep, the 1.2 is a mover hold, same as it was on the G3. If you can consistently shoot that .05 difference, then I dunno what to tell you.

Yeah, I was responding to Dustyplyr’s post.Not the scope I am talking .
@Adam B please keep us posted after your range trip. I’m currently shooting the xrs2 and very happy with it I’d be curious to see how they compare
Sweet man. If you can get some decent through the scope pics that would be awesome. Concerned about the ret size on 8x to 15x..........(most of my shooting takes place on those power ranges), even out past 1,000ydsI am actually heading there today with my 22 since I don't have any dasher ammo loaded right now, I will post pics and my thoughts. I am going to run a ton of tracking tests and shoot out to 400 and back.

There’s been several XRSIIs in the PX. One has T3 reticle for $1150.I am not an expert.
My XRS2 is nicer than my S&B PM2 and Steiner M5Xi and it is also more FDE. Obviously, it cost a lot less too. It is the nicest scope I've ever used. I've been disappointed by the recent lack of availability of the XRS2s and ended up picking up a Vortex when I wanted another XRS.
I'm excited for these to be in the pipe.

One thing I forgot to add is the the eye box is amazingly forgiving.
