Bushnell, Tasco and Simmons are the only scopes that will ever touch my fine firearms.

If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

I recently bought several Bushnell A17 3.5-10x36 AOs from CDNN to put on some Marlins and Savages in 17HM2, 17HMR, .22LR, and .22MAG. They aren't perfect, but for $50 per unit they do the job nearly as well as the Weaver V16s and they do it for less than 1/4 of the average retail price of a V16.
EDIT: The A17s that I have were made in Korea.

The Bushnell Elite series scopes, especially the older ones like the 4200, are excellent scopes.

are bushnell scopes garbage? yeah some of them. but others are some of my favorites. simple rule of them if its a made in japan bushnell scope its a great scope. These are usually the elite series or, the tactical series now days. I will not buy a non japan made bushnell.

Some of the older Bushnells are very good. For example, the Scopechief series were basically the same as they were when they were a B&L branded product. B&L bought Bushnell in 1971 and allowed it to run as an IOC, Independent Operating Company, under the B&L umbrella. In 1973 B&L decided to get out of the sporting goods market, so they licensed the rights to manufacture their lines of rifle scopes to Bushnell. In 2004 the licensing agreement ended and B&L reentered the sporting goods market with a new line of B&L branded rifle scopes.
I like the old Scopechief and Banner series scopes and think that the Scopechiefs were comparable to the Leupolds of their day. I have low magnification Scopechiefs and Banner variables, mostly 1.5-4.5x20s, on several Marlin 336s, Mossberg 472/479, and Savage 170s.
Another Bushnell scope that I have found useful is the Banner 4x20 .22 scope. It is a smaller scope that fits proportionally on the small receivers of most rimfire rifles. I particularly like this scope on Savage 24 combination guns, as they don't overwhelm them, and even more so on those with the smaller diameter .410 barrel. This is Bushnell Model 71-4220-0.

I recently bought a .22 mag that came with a Bushnell Sportview. It compares favorably with the Tasco Pronghorn that came on a different rifle I bought.
I expect both to perform superbly in the junk drawer.

Go spend $320 and buy a Leupold VX-3i off Ebay and be happy. I just bought four of em. They're light, bright, and clear. And they come with a lifetime warranty. You telling me you want to spend $1,000+ for a rifle and put a $50 Scope on it?
