bushnell had to do something. they were going the way of weaver, they have lost market share and were pretty much not a factor anymore. the optics industry in particular the scope industry is either high end, nightforce, or low end. ALA the junk vortex sells. Leupold holds the middle ground. while I am disappointed that bushnell has replaced much of the elite line. the fact is stores were not buying product. All their awesome japanese optics weren't sold in your run of the mill stores as a general rule. In fact I have only seen their good stuff at trade shows.

Anyone have any experience with these?


Haven’t used one but about busted a gut watching this review. Especially liked the “fire starter” method of turret testing. 😂😂

This is true.Kind of makes you wonder what kind of profit they’re making on the low-end Chicom products.And why there is not more American-made offerings,if the market is there...
