New from Bushnell are two Elite Tactical riflescopes, the DMR3 3.5-21X 50 mm FFP and the XRS3 6-36X 56 mm FFP. Tailored to meet the demands of long-range and precision rimfire shooters, the new Elite Tactical DMR3 delivers precision to 1,000 yards and beyond in a lightweight, compact package. For those seeking extreme long-range (ELR) capabilities, including ELR competitors, the XRS3 offers the highest magnification in the Elite Tactical family (36X).

Elite Tactical 6-36X 56 mm XRS3 optic with G4 reticle ($1,699.99). The XRS3 has 29 MIL of elevation travel and 15 MIL windage travel. The scope is 14.9 inches long and weighs in at 39 ounces.


Both the DMR3 and XRS3 optics includes a high magnification ED Prime objective, as well as fully multi-coated elements, EXO Barrier protection and a new reticle element coating. The new coating increases light transmission by nearly 2 percent over previous designs.

Built to last, both scopes are IP67-rated against water and dust, argon purged to reduce fogging and the 34 mm main tube is built from a single-piece of aircraft-grade aluminum.

In addition, these scopes feature a new “G” series reticle designed in conjunction with G.A. Precision. Based on the popular G3 reticle, the new G4P design features a floating dot center POA, floating holdover dots, refined line widths, quick acquisition bars for low magnification settings and a more open reticle space above the horizontal stadia.

Additional features include the Rev-limiter zero-stop elevation turret, a locking windage target turret and removable sunshade. The DMR3 riflescope shortens the minimum parallax setting over the DMRII Pro from 50 to 25 yards, while the XRS3 sports a minimum parallax setting of 50 yards and a D-Lok locking diopter.
