Amazing scope for the price .

I now have two of theses scopes 1 on a 9mm ar . And the other on a 5. 56 ar. I love theses scopes which is why I bought a second one. Can't beat it for the price. Holds zero perfectly on my 9mm ar and is super clear. The eye relief is also decent which is nice wouldn't complain if it had a tiny bit more though ,but it's not bad at all . Haven't shot the 5. 56 riffle yet. But plan on changing that soon . you will need a charging handle extension or a different style changing handle tho because the scope does slightly get in the way of the charging handles on the standard ar platform . My new 5. 56 ar tho has the side charging handle so won't be a problem . I just added the extension on the 9mm and don't have a problem with it .

8 Power

I purchased the 8 power SFP and was disappointed. Researching told me that magnification best for bench rest shooting. 1x4 should be better with the mini 14 rifle. Customer service was great helping me with my return. I'm still on the fence debating purchasing this in 1x4 vs a fixed power 4x. I have only used Bushnell products and hope to find exactly what I want from Bushnell. These are good scopes.

Compact hitter

Reticle at 1x is small enough for up close shots. 6x the reticle is larger for long shots. Add the red amplification and it is a perfect all round scope with a fast action throw lever. Could not be happier. Bushnell did a bang up job with this one. Thanks

Bushnell AR71424 scope

I bought this scope for my AR and I am impressed beyond words, but I will tell you anyway. This is a very, very good scope for the asking price from Bushnell. Everything about it is quality. The view through the scope is sharp and crisp. The zoom is very impressive. The zoom lever folds out of the way so as not to snag on anything. This scope comes with a lens cloth, and an additional lever for the zoom if you prefer a longer lever on the scope. Bushnell even added a good quality set of optic covers for lens protection. How can you say no to this package at the $149.99 price. Don't forget the Weaver 30mm SPR mounting rings also at a great price.

Works Great on AR 15 with Carry handle

I installed this scope on my AR-15 and mounted it on top of the carry handle with a Freedom Reaper Carry handle Mount. The scope is easy to adjust and the lens are very clear. My plan is to buy another one with more magnification for another rifle.

Surprisingly good

I've got the smaller 3x12 ar optics scope but decided on this one for the 6.5cm turret thats included. Right out of the box i was again surprised by the quality of the scope, excellent fit and finish and very good optical quality. Yesterday i finally got to sight it in and shoot some decent groups. Much like the older AR optics scope, this was simple, straightforward and took a very short amount time. I only wish there was an option for 'no' throw lever - it interferes with bolt action rifles - which i get its marketed for AR style but many of the AR focused calibers are gaining popularity in the bolt market. Still a near flawless scope, incredible shipping time and fantastic packaging.

AR Optics 4.5-18x40 Multi-Turret Riflescope

just mounted this scope to my AR. This scope, for the price, met all my expectations. I have had Bushnell scopes on my rifles since the mid 70's and have never been dissatisfied. For the money, you cannot beat the clarity and function of these scopes.

Decent budget optic, with bad dials. No warranty support.

I have had this optic for about 3 years now, and it has held up, it feels solid and glass is clear enough for this budget. The illumination dial is mushy and has to be adjusted just right to maintain illumination or it flickers. When working the illumination is bright enough in the desert where I shoot. The reticle is good, no complaints there. I would not recommend this given the other options out there, and hope you do not have any issues with it because "ironclad" warranty support is non existent.

cross hair / drop too small

no matter what setting the drop dots are so small they can't be use . appears they are on the wrong side of the lens, all bunch together at the center. The scope is well made and no other problems will return for replacement

Love this reticle!

I bought this scope for the reticle. I have it mounted on top of an HHA Tetra Optimizer scope mount, on top of my Mission crossbow. The HHA mount lets me range the target, dial it, and shoot it, without worrying about holdovers, so I can aim dead-on at all ranges. I wanted an illuminated circle dot reticle and I liked the looks of this one best, so I bought this scope. It has been a perfect combination on my crossbow!

Best LPVO on the market!

By Kelvin R.

No color distortion (i. smokey tint to the lens like cheap optics or even Vortex Strike Eagle 1-6) I would say 98% clear image, only at the very, very edge of the lens you get a little bit of distortion (this is normal for an optic under $1,000) but it is hardly noticeable, not like the Vortex 1-6, which you can start seeing distortion about a foot away from the center of the lens where the reticle is. Very clear image, one of the closest true 1x on the market (there is no such thing as true ...
