Guys, I need opinions ASAP, What are your thoughts on the Bushnell 2-7x36 ENGAGE MOA Riflescope? Product Description The Engage™ 2-7x36 is a lightweight, low-power scope ideal for short-range enthusiasts. Fully Multi Coated - Multiple layers of anti-reflective coating on all air-to-glass surfaces deliver bright, high-contrast images. Deploy™ MOA reticle - Compatible with multiple calibers. The thin reticle doesn't obscure the target, and MOA hashmarks aid in windage and elevation holdovers. If I could get these available to you at $99.99 should I get them? Thanks for your input

I'm still leery of an optic that says "Bushnell" on it and sells at that price point...

The MOA reticle defeats the purpose of small low power scope. Thanks for request for input though.
Always remember that you are unique, just like everyone else.

Wouldn't buy it with that reticle. If available with a duplex reticle configuration I'd be interested.

I like 2-7s but it’s a Bushnell that looks like it came from a blister pack. The reticle wouldn’t be a no go for me. It looks usable.
If it was a straight 6x everybody would be tripping over their ding dongs to get one.
Talking to you is like trying to nail jello to the wall.

If not Elite, it's of no interest. No experience with either mentioned.

I trust Bushnell, and I'm interested, but I don't understand why 7 power scope with a ballistic reticle is marketed as "short-range" .

Is this the equivalent of the old Elite series, or something below that?
Bushnell basically screwed themselves by thinking they should rename their entire lineup. Only specific product lines could be trusted from Bushnell, and now no one knows their names. Dumb marketing move.

Doug,
As I just posted on another thread, I've had good luck with a number of Bushnells; mostly Trophy XLTs, but also a couple of Elites. Don't know where the Engages fit in the lineup, but that reticle is an odd duck in a scope like that, I think. Not for me thanks. A simple duplex would make more sense.
What fresh Hell is this?

Doug,
If it had a plex reticle, they would be hard pressed to keep up with the demand especially for that price.

Guys,

Thanks for your input Strictly opinion - no. I doubt they would sell.
