New Bushnell LRHSi 4.5-18x 44mm Riflescope Boosts Accuracy with Illuminated Reticle


OVERLAND PARK, KS – Bushnell, an industry leader in high-performance optics for more than 65 years, now offers its proven Elite Long Range Hunting Scope (LRHS) with an illuminated reticle to help hunters quickly put their aiming point on target in all light conditions, even at extreme distances.Like the original LRHS, the new LRHSi 4.5-18x 44mm riflescope is built specifically to give long-range hunters unparalleled accuracy. It features a first focal plane G2H-i mil-based illuminated reticle, which allows hunters to range targets at any magnification and easily make critical hold adjustments with .1 mil clicks. Plus, the low-profile, target-style elevation turret with RevLimiter zero stop allows shooters to quickly return to zero without dialing past.

The LRHSi also offers a fast-focus eyepiece and side-parallax adjustment to retain a crisp, clear sight picture at any range. Aiding in visual performance, the lens’ patented RainGuard HD coating creates a permanent barrier that beads water to scatter less light and give a clear view in conditions that would render untreated optics unusable. The scope is also Argon-purged for ultimate waterproof integrity. Read more

T/C’s newest rifle

From Jim Shepherd…

If you get a rifle with an adjustable trigger, free-floated barrel, 5R rifling, pre-threaded barrel and a quick-throw 60-degree bolt that’s available in a variety of calibers, you’ve opened the proverbial floodgates for possible purchases. Most of those prices quickly move from affordable to “I’ve been saving a while for this one, so it better perform.”

Factor in a guaranteed minute-of-angle accuracy and you’ve done two things: narrowed the field (considerably) and pointed out that it’s a great time to be a shooter or hunter. Now, put the MSRP of that rifle – in that variety of calibers- at $399 and watch the field shrink.

For the past few days, I’ve been in South Dakota testing a new rifle that looks to be the next serious contender for the rifle you want- and can afford. It’s Thompson/Center’s new Compass, and I’ve been experimenting in prairie dog pastures with the rifle in a variety of calibers, from .204 Ruger through the proven varmint-busting 22-250.

There’s not much better way to prove a varmint rifle than shooting varmints. Above, fellow shooters Joe Ferronato and Tom McHale test T/C Compass’s in .204 Ruger and 22-250. As you can see (below), the rifle is not heavily decorated, but the poly stock has a good texture and sits comfortably in a shooting position.

In each instance, the rifle has performed. And performed at distances from normal to ridiculous. Normal, meaning ranges inside which virtually any hunter would be comfortable drawing a bead on an animal. Ridiculous is taking- and making- 403 yard shots at prairie dogs. Read more

Michigan: Four Osprey Chicks Now Sporting GPS Satellite Backpacks

Biologists adjust GPS backpack on osprey chick

Osprey chick on nesting platform

Nearly absent from much of Michigan due to the effects of DDT, other pesticides and habitat loss, Michigan’s osprey population continues to rebound. In southern Michigan, monitoring efforts are in place to track the revitalization of this species.

This year, four osprey chicks from area nests were outfitted with “backpack” GPS telemetry units, funded by Huron Valley Audubon with donations from DTE Energy and a private donor. The GPS backpacks will help scientists track the young birds’ daily movements and seasonal migration patterns.

The chicks were hatched on platforms at Kensington Metropark, Pointe Mouillee State Game Area and the Strong Unit of the Detroit International Wildlife Refuge and on a cellular tower in Milford. Crews from MD Tower Services, Newkirk-Electric and Earthcom Inc. climbed the towers in order to access the chicks for both banding and transmitter deployment. Brad Pieczarka also assisted with climbing. Read more
