Bushnell blues
 

I've been posting things here and there about scopes to put on my .270. I'm planning on putting something decent on it as soon as I get a couple things sold to free up cash. I took the Bushnell Banner 3-9x40 off of my .22 and put on the new rifle just so I could shoot my new toy. Well, when I took my .270 out to shoot it the first time, it patterned great until the last couple of shots. I figured my barrel was too hot.

I have the day off today and thought I'd try some different shells in the gun. I got all set up and put my gun on the bags. I took the caps off and looked through the scope... My reticle is broken! Grrr. I tried to call Bushnell, but like me, they are off work today. I'll call them back tomorrow and gripe and see what they say. I'm guessing they'll just send me a new scope, but I honestly don't want another one after this. I'm going to see if I can send them some money and upgrade. I don't know if they do that, but it's worth a try.

Id personally consider a weaver k series in 4x or 6x. They can be had for $140 or so and only weigh 11 ounces. I assure you the reticle wont break on one of these.

I here this scope has some great revies and is not made in China
I just order this one and for the price I don't think you can beat them

How good is the warranty ?

Buy it once !!!

Hate to say I told you so but.....you shoulda waited and took your 100-150 and bought something a bit better for your 270.

Bushnell makes some very nice scopes but also puts their name on some crappy stuff. Now you need a scope for both guns.

I would get the banner fixed put it back on the .22 and save up for something a bit better for the 270.

the warranty on the
Intensity Optics

are from weaver must have the receipt no question asked

"I told you so" doesn't hurt so bad when it's not coming from my wife :D

Well, that was the plan. I was planning on purchasing the new scope in the next week or so. I'm going to just get the Banner fixed/replaced/whatever they do and put it back on the Savage. I'm going to Cabela's and Bass Pro in St Louis next weekend so I can get my hands on some scopes. I'll figure out what I want and then find it online.

Dont feel to bad, I had to ask my wife if it was ok if I posted this or not.

Bushnell banners have turned to poo:s8: there customer service stinks. and did i say POO:hit::hit: they claim my last repair is lost. there people are kinda snooty when they decide to answer the phone:poke: run dont walk from booshnell:kt: i would get it fixed and dump it. get a loopy. its piece of mind.:party::party:

For the price of a Leupold one can buy two Weavers or Redfields.
