For less expensive option: thoughts on the Bushnell HDMR

Sold a Vortex PST to get a better optic as I learn more about the Precision world. Spending way too much money on short weapons so limiting funds on my long gun. Had an opportunity to get a used HDMR (Horus H59) for a good price. Dude also has the G2 (mil based Christmas tree ret) but I chose the H59.

Any experience with this optic? Or the new Gen 2 models? Thoughts from the SMEs?

Thanks gents.

I have an HDMR with H59. It tracks well and returns to zero reliably. I tall target tested it to 36” (10 mil) at a tape measured 100 yards. The reticle was exact. Dialing introduces a +2% error, well within norms for a scope in that price range. I’ve shot it to 600 yards and glass resolution was good, but not wow! I wish it had zero stops and an illuminated reticle, but for the price I paid, cannot complain about anything.
