Customers say

Customers like the clarity, performance, and adjustability of the aiming scope sight. For example, they mention the optics are very clear and bright, the throw lever is clever and super functional, and it works great as a BDC scope. They appreciate the wide range of adjustment, turret adjustments, and parallax adjustment. That said, some complain about the weight and have different opinions on fit, and brightness.

Customers like the adjustability of the aiming scope sight. They say the turret adjustments are precise with positive click stops.

The Bushnell AR/223 optics are worth the money.#1: when I was shopping for optics for my AR15 the Bushnell model was retailing for over $400 U.S. Dollars. I was able to get mine for under $200 from Amazon.#2: Bushnell makes quality products. You know because of the name that you are not buying cheaply made optics.#3: I have had optics that are very clear. Sadly, one of my best optics is on a Ruger 10/22 target rifle and those are clear as can be. This model of Bushnell, while not quite as clear as my Ruger's optics, are very clear.#4: although slightly on the heavy side (mostly due to the illumination feature), this model is compact. My AR is carbine length and the scope doesn't drown it with size.#5: The reticle changes size with magnification. This is what people refer to as first focal plane. If your scope's reticle doesn't change size, it is a second focal plane and can drown out targets (cover them up) at distance. I really like the first focal plane feature of scopes.#6: It has a BDC (bullet drop compensating) reticle that goes out to 500 yards. This means that Bushnell took the ballistics of the .223 round and placed hashes in the reticle to compensate for bullet drop at given distances. This nearly takes out the guess work of where to aim at those given distances (still have to adjust for windage though).#7: The reticle its self is very fine lines (when not illuminated). This means that you can still see your target without the reticle covering your target.#8: the turret adjustments are 1/10 per click. Most scopes are 1/4 which means that the Bushnell AR/223 can make finer adjustments. Scopes that are 1/4 can be either left or right of dead center because they aren't able to make those fine adjustments. This model can, and I might add that when I sighted mine in, in was amazingly accurate and didn't lose its calibration at all.#9: while there is some bleeding when the reticle is illuminated, I don't find it distracting. Turn down the illumination setting and it's not as bad.#10: the throw down lever for the zoom is really handy. Of all my scopes, this is the first one I have had like this and am use to adjusting the zoom normally. Now I don't even look for the zoom ring anymore. I feel for the throw down lever. Then when I shoot my other guns it is annoying they don't have it lol.#11: Last but not least, with the Burris PEPR mount, it installed right over the top of my MBUS sights without any problems. AND IT JUST LOOKS REALLY COOL!!! Check out the pics.

5.0 out of 5 stars BEST AR OPTIC VALUE...HANDS DOWN!!!
Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2014
Verified Purchase
Received this promptly via Amazon prime and I immediately recognized the quality of the optic. It is a little on the heavy size for what it is, mostly due to the massive ocular bell, but I was willing to compromise the weight for the versatility of the product. The throw lever is clever and super functional. Makes using other scopes without a lever a chore now that I have been spoiled with this one. The reticle is sharp and the lenses clear. At 1 power it is basically a red dot but zoom to 4 power and the reticle with the bdc hash marks open up before your eyes unlocking longer distance shot potential. The turrets are zero reset-able but do not lock. They have very positive clicks though and would not be prone to accidental changes in my opinion. The lens caps are of superior quality compared to other free bees I have received in the past. I have read reviews prior to purchase stating that the illuminated reticle was not bright enough. This has not been my experience at all, even on the brightest day at the range the illumination was very visible. These people saying this in the reviews must be using it on the surface of the sun... Idk? I can only speak to my experience and it is very bright and clear. I don't really even use the illumination in the day as the black outline of the reticle in all power levels is perfect for me and my usage. At night my mounted flashlight makes using the dark reticle a perfect contrast so I have only played around with the brightness levels a little bit, basically just to see in what conditions they would work best. I don't really see myself using the illumination feature much except for maybe early morning or dusk hunts but it is a nice feature nonetheless. I mounted this up using the Amazon recommended Millett one piece 30mm/1" mount (B004YL6CS0) at the T10 receiver mark and I was 1" high at 100 yards using 62gr xm855 right out of the box. I could not believe how easy this thing was to zero. Made this an excellent experience to sight in. No wasted ammo!!!!

Several rounds later (too many to count) this optic and mount set up is still at zero. I have not even had to tinker with the turrets.I have not been gentile either. It is a tool and I use this weapon as such. I use Kentucky windage on 2-300 yrd shots, no problem. Zero'd for 100 yards as the manual instructs to do, hold over is a breeze with the bdc hash marks. Right on the money, thanks to the first focal plane no adjustments needed between zoom. Groups well with my precision barrel. Close up 15-25 yards it shoots a tad low so I use the 300 yard hash mark and it is dead on. This is also the one more pronounced to the eye in 1-2 power settings, it is the first mark my eye sees at the lower powers so it works perfectly for me.

Overall this is probably the best ar optic for the money in my opinion. It is clear, fool proof, and cleverly designed with ar shooters in mind, I will put one on every ar I own at this point. I have tested many optics like it and this one stands out in a class of it's own. Also don't forget about the $30 rebate going on right now from Bushnell. Makes even more sense to buy from a value standpoint. I only wish I could give it additional stars. Thats just how much I enjoy this product. Amazon is awesome as well with their freaky fast shipping and excellent customer service.
***I hope this review helps any one on the fence about purchasing this as I was. I have not looked back and am very pleased with my purchase.***

Nice crisp sight picture, good in low light. Bit heavy but robust, tracks well and is accurate. Great on a PCP, work out the BDC markings on the range and your good to go. If your shooting 223 then it is well calibrated for that caliber.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great value in a compact AR scope
Reviewed in Canada on June 8, 2017

Really nice, quality scope, esp. for the money. Seems heavy for its size but...grow stronger! I ordered this somewhat on impulse and didn't understand that the BTR reticle is quite different from standard crosshairs. It's also not easy to discover how small it looks in use, even at 4x magnification. I recommend some thorough research to make sure it's really what you want. I'm sure I will find my way with it however.

L'ottica è di ottima qualità, dà anche una buona sensazione di robustezza.
Sarebbe tutto ottimo se non fosse per le torrette, che non hanno una risposta netta ai click e sono troppo morbide, per cui è facile spostarle senza accorgersi.
