I am thrilled to share my experience with the Bushnell XRS3 6-36x56mm Riflescopes, a high-performance optic that has exceeded my expectations in various situations. In this review, I will highlight the key features, pros, and cons of this remarkable product.
Design and Build Quality
The XRS3 boasts a robust and durable design, with a 34mm tube made of billet-aluminum materials. The scope is built like a tank, with a rugged construction that can withstand harsh environmental conditions. The scope’s overall build quality is excellent, with attention to detail and a focus on precision engineering.
Optical Performance
The XRS3’s optical performance is exceptional, with a 56mm ED Prime objective lens that delivers outstanding light transmission and clarity. The scope’s reticle element coating and new optical design have increased light transmission by nearly 2%, providing crisp and clear images even in low-light conditions. The scope’s eyebox is also impressive, with a forgiving design that allows for easy target acquisition and minimal adjustments.
Reticle and Turrets
The XRS3 features a G4P reticle designed in conjunction with G.A. Precision, offering a floating-dot point-of-aim with a clearer sight picture for fast acquisition and dead-on accuracy. The reticle has floating holdover dots, bold mover holds, refined line widths, and quick-acquisition bars for low-magnification settings. The scope’s turrets are engineered for clean-dialing, providing positive tactile clicks with dead-on repeatability.
Adjustability and Zeroing
The XRS3 has a RevLimiter zero stop that allows for quick returns to zero and hassle-free setting. The scope’s tracking is also exceptional, with windage and elevation staying true to where you set them. The RevLimiter zero stop is simple and fast to set, delivering a rock-solid stop to turret travel, allowing you to have confidence in your zero every time.
