Cameraland has the Bushnell Nitro 2.4-10x44 scopes at a really nice price, particularly when considering all the features.
I’m thinking of grabbing one of these for an accurized 10/22. Primary use would be punching paper, secondary use to be occasionally punching squirrels.
I’m looking for 3ish to 9ish magnification, adjustable parallax down to 10 yards, fine reticle and MOA subtensions and illumination. Obviously this scope isn’t illuminated, but that’s more of a nice to have than a necessity.
This scope seems like a good choice for my needs, but I’m wondering how is the glass? I’ve had mixed luck with Bushnell scopes in the past.
The only reviews I’ve found have been from magazines or commercial (I.e. accept advertising) blogs, so I don’t give them much creedance.
I’d appreciate any firsthand observations on the glass.

I bought one over Christmas from midway. Mounted on 30-06. All the adjustments work as they should, holds zero just fine, glass is better than one would expect on a $200 scope. Mine is the standard duplex.
My only complaint is it's a heavy SOB, but I knew that when I bought it, so not really fair to complain.
ETA. The Nitro is made in Korea, the more expensive Forge is make in China.

It weighs20+ oz. is a long heavy scope. Put, 4-16 on M1a, weight was not a factor, works great, glass on par+ Bushy 4200.

I have the 3x12..Got it here off the classifieds.. Haven't had it long enough to say yay or nay and give it a endorsement yet.. I did shoot the 500 yard ,10 inch steel, and made hits using the dials and also the reticle, so no problems there... The glass is great..I don't mind the reticle..All in all ,so far so good..Time will tell though...The reason I bought one is for the capped turrets..I like that feature..The 5x20 that Doug has on sale is very tempting..I just need more time with this one before I snag another.. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/Z1lKWqA.jpg)
