Rifle Scopes Zeiss LRP S3 6-36x56 MRAD FFP or Bushnell XRS3 6-36X56 G4 reticle for PRS?

[Black Greyhound]

FNG here, so bear with me. Does anyone have real world experience with one, the other or preferably both? These will go on a 6GT PRS gun and a .223 AI PRS trainer, backup, rarely varmint rifle. FWIW, I currently run a ZEISS LRP S3 4-25x56 in MOA for PRS and Bushnell Match Pro 6-24x50 for base class NRL22. l like both just fine, but I do want to switch from MOA to MRAD for PRS. For the sake of simplicity, please don't bother mentioning any other scopes in this thread. Thanks in advance for your inputs. Pictures for attention.

No clue about the Bushy, but had a Zeiss LRP S3 6-36x56 for about 1.5 years now. Great scope.

Haven’t been behind the gen 3 xrs, but have been behind many s3’s in the last 2 years. I’d take the s3 hands down

Zeiss LRP S3 glass > Bushnell XRS3

The Bushy is not bad, and I like the reticles. I've killed a lot of stuff looking through a Bushnell. It is certainly serviceable in the role which you intend.

The LRP is just going to be better with the exception IMO being the reticle. I am not much of a fan of the ZF-MRI...but reticles are a personal thing, so you might like it much more than me.

Both are good scopes, the S3 is better. IMHO the price difference reflects their respective value accurately

The Zeiss glass will be way better than the Bushnell. The S3 reticle is a very shooter friendly reticle and the S3 scope is a solid option in top tier glass market.

Had both and was not impressed at all with the Bushnell XRS3. Glass was a big let down. Overall feel of the scope was just eh to me. I like my Match Pro ED more. LOL The Zeiss is an easy winner in that comparison. Have three now and been running them in matches for about a year and a half and they work great. You have the Zeiss now so you will not be happy if you went to the Bushnell at this point.

So, besides wanting to go mils, what are you hoping to accomplish by going from the 4-25 to a 6-36?

Why not just go with a known quantity of the 4-25 in mils? I'm sure someone out there wants your MOA reticle. You may take a bath on it but at least you'd be getting some money towards your mil reticle.

Thoughts?

Had both. Zeiss is best.

No experience with the Bushnell but I really like my Zeiss which is the exact optic you are considering. Glass is very good, controls are well thought out, it tracks well, and returns to zero after dialing turrets all over the place. Not much to bitch about particularly for the money spent.
