Default RE: Bushnell scope question.

I've got one on my CVA Wolf. I bought a Nikon Pro Staff for my muzzle loader but liked it so much I took the Bushnell off my slug gun and put the Nikon on it. The Bushnell works ok, I think mine is a 1.5-4.5x32. I'll probably switch it out and buy another Nikon Pro Staff for my Wolf though. Like I said, nothing wrong with my Bushnell but, there is 10 times difference in the Nikon over the Bushnell.

I usually buy their Banner series. Bushnell is a good scope. I like their optics, and they work and function great.

dito, I've owned countless Bushnells. Banner, trophy and the old sportviews and the only one I had a problem w/was a trophy series. (POI changed when you adjusted power) Other than that one issue, I love their scopes. Can't beat the value.

I own anumber of bushnells and have never had a difficulty with any of them. They are not the best but the best for the dollar. I don't think you will go wrong.
