Title: Bushnell AR Optics Rifle Scope 4.5-18x 40mm Side Focus Matte $104.00 shipped

I have 5 of these scopes, in various variable powers, including 2 of the 18x. They are heavy, but havent had any problems with them. Cant really say how good the glass is, my catracts and eye floaters are pretty bad, but even with that, I thought the were ok, pretty bright. Gonna get my catracts removed this fall, so I think the clarity will only get better.

Post by: Mudinyeri on December 08, 2017, 08:50:06 AM: The MidwayUSA link appears to be for a .308 BDC and the Amazon link for a .223. Am I reading that right?

Post by: Dan W on December 08, 2017, 05:41:53 PM: On second glance I may have erred by moving this to the classifieds...looks like OP was initiating a discussion that might belong in the Good Deals thread

Post by: DanS on December 08, 2017, 08:54:11 PM: Yes, the Midway link is old, and now goes to 308 model not the 223 version. The second link, to Yahoo, is new(er). Was pointing out what I thought was a "good deal", on a low cost scope that isnt complete junk.

Post by: Mali on December 10, 2017, 09:46:02 AM: Based on the OP reply I moved this back to Discussions forum since this is just a discussion regarding a Good Deal he found.

Post by: David Hineline on December 10, 2017, 11:02:01 AM: I never even consider any second focal plane optic as the BDC is only calibrated for maximum zoom operation.
