duey Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 Sightron and Bushnell are two brands that spring to mind straight away may even get vortex in that price range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meles meles Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 We'd recommend the Bushnell Tactical Elite https://www.opticswarehouse.co.uk/product/bushnell-elite-tactical-dmr-3-5-21x50-ffp-g2dmr-riflescope/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo999 Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 Gen 1 Vortex Viper PST 6-24X50 FFP for around £700-£750.00 https://www.solware.co.uk/vortex-viper-pst-6-24x50-ffp-rifle-scope http://www.swillingtonshootingsupplies.co.uk/store/product/14250/Vortex-Viper-PST-6-24x50-FFP/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzarM1 Posted August 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 What kind of warranty do Bushnell offer?I couldn't see any info on Optics Warehouse site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Miller Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 The Bushnell DMR knocks spots off many rifle scopes that cost a helluva lot more, would I take one over any Sightron, Vortex. You bet your bottom. I bought two. http://precisionrifleblog.com/2014/09/19/tactical-scopes-field-test-results-summary/ 30 year unconditional warranty on the Elite range, you don't need to keep a receipt either.

David Hancock Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 Another vote for the Bushnell Tac Elite DMR with a G2 Reticle 3.5-21x50. Great tac turrets which actually line up. Crap, soft coin slots on the turrets though. Need better for another £1.00. No IL though. FFP and Mil / Mil AND a 34mm tube which lets light in like WOOOO !

markymark Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 David, Did you ever get new caps made or source them from anywhere else? Cheers, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VarmLR Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 Another vote for the DMR. I have the Tactical Elite 3.5-21 DMR with the milldot ret. Best mid range scope I've ever used. Newer versions are now available with IR and for more cash you can also buy the zero-stop models. FOV is pretty good with these scopes as is brightness and resolution. Build quality is about the best for any mid range scope I've come across, definitely up there with my more expensive Nightforce scope, and dare I say it, a better scope than the Nightforce NSX!

David Hancock Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 Hi Mark. No I didn't. Something so simple turned into such a pain in the butt. Rowan said no. Just need a small engineering workshop to do a short run of 20 and to boot with the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
