    The Bushnell's are coming! the Bushnell's are coming!

    Decided to pick up the Bushnell/Simmons/Tasco/Millett line in a more concentrated form that I had a few years back.

    Starting to get up online, slowly:

    They have some nice products, I must say.



    And we are still Your Canadian Crosman Service Parts source.

    They certainly do!

    I like that DOA 600 reticle.
    Damn you, Eric! Now I have to decide between the C.P 4-16 Mil Dot, or the Bushnell 4-12 DOA 600....

    Bushnells are nice. But...I need scopes that will focus closer than 10m for garage/basement plinking. The CP does, but does the Bushnell? It is a pi$$ off that most sites don't state what the minimum focus adjustment is on their AO scopes. Sometimes, if there are close up photos, you can see the markings on the bell or focus turret. It's an important number for close range target airguning - for this bi-focaled myopic 'ol geiser anyhow.

    You make a good point, Dukemeister. Plus, I've come to the realization that I really like the Mil Dot reticle for my airguns. I'm not what you would call an "ace" shot, and the Mil Dot really helps with various distances (at least for me, anyways). Suppose it's just what I'm used to. My powderburners on the other hand are all Bushnell's - 2 Elite 4200's, and 1 Elite 6500. Go figure...

    I took some scopes out of boxes to verify AO function (alot of the descriptions of products on the Bushnell website leave this detail/feature off- which makes no sense, poor website design). Anyways, of the Trophy XLT's and Banners with AO, the AO dial went down to 10yards, but I really wasn't concentrating on this, only that they had AO, period.

    If anyone has a specific piece of information they need, I can always open a box and look...

    Good scopes, especially the Banner A/O's. Nice pricing on the 4-12 A/O Banner too!

    I wish Bushnell did a 3-9 with AO but they seem to have standardized on using AO only on 10X and above.... It would also be great if they had more MilDot scopes, particularly in the less expensive lines.... I LOVE Bushnells for their optical clarity and brightness, however.... very good value for the money....

    There is a moderate priced A/O Banner with a mil-dot reticle- the 6-24X. I think mine was 209.00 before taxes at Wholesale sports... look in the post above for your 3-9X A/O.
