Reddit reviews Bushnell Optics, Drop Zone Reticle Riflescope with Target Turrets, Matte Black, 1-4x/24mm

Did you put the optic on it?

The no-name chinese import stuff like the 3-in-1 optics are not known to last very long. If you paid the $100 or so for one, that would have paid for most of a quality Bushnell 1-4x. If it came on the rifle, I am afraid of what you paid for it.

How do this fare if you have astigmatism and would this be alright on an AR-15. Currently have this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ABP5UXG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_3ijhAbTNK7W3S but I can never see down it as the reticle is always blurry a second after looking at it.

Description:

-Aero Precision lower (stripped, from a local gun store)

-PSA upper kit (http://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-16-5-56-nato-1-7-mid-length-nitride-13-5-lightweight-m-lok-moe-ept-rifle-kit-516446780.html)

-Bushnell 4x (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ABP5UXG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

-Random cheap scope mount

I really like my Bushnell. You can catch it on sale from time to time, but it's a good overall quality budget 1-4.

well what's the [121] (
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ABP5UXG?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00) dollar version on amazon? I mean hows it different than the $70 and the $150. Anyway, that's what I ordered and can't wait till it comes in.

I got mine from Palmetto, but they don't seem to have it listed anymore. I think it was a black friday deal or christmas deal or something.

This is the one I have. You can definitely find it cheaper than Amazon.

edit: just checked my order history, I got the second one at an all-time low from Amazon "$69.99 Nov 26, 2017"

Any idea how it compares to the Primary Arms 1-4 or the Bushnell AR Optics 1-4? Or anything else you have to compare it against? The Crossfire II is at the top of my list actually along with those others I mentioned.

Maybe consider the Bushnell 1-4x 24mm

"Function Testing" ?

I have no plans to get rid of it, the only reason I have am building this one is, I had a trade deal too good to pass up on(2 glocks 35-27 gen3 and gen4 both like new for my budget build [apx $600]). So with this build I have been trying to keep the quality of the parts I am using above the quality of the last one (Spikes lower rather than Anderson, magpul parts, rather than ATI, etc...). This is what I had on the last one and I like it, however a lot of the poeple I have talked to said they seem to like their holograpgic/red dot more as you can find your target in the sight faster, and for the distnaces I am looking at, there is no need for magnification/zoom.

$150 is still tough. maybe catch a deal on something like a Bushnell or a Nikon.

If you don't need a name brand, you can give Primary Arms a shot.

I’m so happy I snagged it. Ideal scope for my extreme budget.

Edit: now it’s $110 on amazon, $140 on academy.

i just got this 130 dollar bushell 1-4x variable power scope for my ar556 havent zero'ed it yet. Had to remove the rear sight to make space for the mount.

I'm pretty happy with my Bushnell AR-223. I bought the model with a traditional crosshair, instead of their illuminated red-dot-ish reticle. I can't think of anything bad to say about it. The 1x has a bit of magnification to it, so co-witnessing isn't an option.

I bought a Bushnell 1-4x-24mm as a gift for a friend who had no optic. It was "OK" for the $101 (after spring rebate) but the distortion is noticeable around the edge and the reticle is too thick for my tastes. It was better than nothing, but if it were my gun, I'd save up a few more dollars.

In the similar boat, I bought for myself, an Athlon Argos 1-4x for a specific build and I'm about 95% happy with it. The only knock on it is the illumination is kinda useless in daylight, its simply not bright enough. The glass is excellent, the form factor is short, the turrets are repeatable and the reticle is FFP and useable. Its got a pretty forgiving eye relief.

My current favorite inexpensive scope currently is the Primary Arms 4-14x mildot scope. That exceeded all my expectations, especially for the pricepoint. That one, is far beyond your 1-4x criteria however, in terms of magnification, but I just can't see getting anything lower than the PA scope. Hold out for a labor day sale or something, I got the PA scope package with butler creek caps, Burris PEPR mount and scope for $229 shipped during their Memorial Day sale. Not suggesting there's going to be an equal sale on Labor Day, but might as well wait a couple weeks....

Cheap but decent 1x4 scope for an AR, thoughts on either this:

or a Bushnell, since the rebate is still going

Weaboo is spot on, however if you want to spend less, the Bushnell AR Optics 1-4 is also great. Put it on a Burris PEPR mount and you're good to go. Have one on my real steel AR and it's excellent for the money but don't carry that sweet sweet Vortex warranty.

This lower is on sale

This upper or this one with BCG and charging handle.

Sights you can find these cheaper elsewhere, the standard MBUS are fine.

If you want a magnified optic (unless you really enjoy shooting irons or want to shoot more than 100-200 yards) this scope or this scope with either Burris PEPR or Aero Precision Ultralight mount if you want something is isn't fuckheavy. And yes, optics are expensive. You'll do fine with MBUS for a while but save up for an optic eventually.

>generally regarded as trash and so is the vast majority of Amazon optics.
