[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 2448007, member: 54178"] I have a [B]4.5 - 18 x 44 Bushnell Elite LRTSi [/B](very much like the LRHS) with an illuminated G3 small "Xmas tree" reticle. I use Bushnell's ARC 1 Mile range finding binoculars with it for hold-over information. Then I set the hold-over on the target and estimate windage and hold on one of the Xmas tree's "branches". This is an ideal scope for Nevada's usually longer shots. My scope has been Cerakoted OD green. That "tree" is excellent for windage holds. And the Illumination is great for darker days or when animals are standing against a dark or shaded background where black reticles can get lost. I would prefer a SIG Sierra 6 BDX scope with its companion KILO rangefinder binocular/ballistic engine but I like the slightly better glass of the Bushnell Elite scopes. The BDX setup uses Bluetooth to "talk" to the scope from the rangefinder to give [I]exact[/I] hold-over as well as windage IF you have a Kestrel 5700 working with the rangefinder. The BDX system is the most advanced scope system yet. [ATTACH type="full"]342304[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
