This optic is clear and has a decent drop reticle. The side parallax works great. The eye focus works great for focusing the reticle, perfectly crisp and clear. The turrets work well and are resettable to zero once the scope is zeroed. The flip out magnification lever makes it very easy to adjust the magnification control. The lever folds away so it does not obstruct your bolt handle. I chose a 3-12x40mm sized scope and placed it in medium height rings for a nice low fit. Perfect for a light compact hunting rifle like the American Ranch.The optic holds zero and is quick to aim and acquire targets with. Once zeroed returning the turrets to zero was a straight forward process and the supplied Allen key worked for that. The turrets can be reset to zero but do not have an adjustable zero stop like some other scopes.It does not come with flip-up scope covers or rings which is fine, but commonly offered at this price point. I like to choose my own rings, but If it had come with flip-up covers instead of the the bungee style hard bikini cover, I would have given it 5 stars. It did come with a lens cloth and Bushnell scope adjusting accessory tool. The paper work it comes with is minimal as Bushnell offers manuals online from their web site.

5.0 out of 5 stars Summary Of an Excellent Optic
Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2020
Solid construction. I have an AR Pistol 10.5” barrel. I thought it’d be perfect for 10yds-150yds. I haven’t had the chance to shoot it yet to see if it holds it’s zero. But I did use a bore laser and it was easy to dial in. I’m in IN and it’s cold. I’m curious to see how it does in the cold. I’ll shoot and report back. But, otherwise, it fits an AR Pistol 10.5” barrel well. The zoom-lever works great. Very smooth. SUPER clear glass. Does not illuminate, but I dig the crosshairs. Perfect thickness and millilidot design. In my opinion, looks great too. It is a 30mm tube, not 1”. For the price and a 30 year warranty from Bushnell. Kind of a no brainer. GET IT! You won’t be sorry. The ONLY negative report would be, compared to a red-dot, it’s heavy. But worth the weight. It makes the gun so much more capable. It also comes with tools, cloth and lens caps. I’ll shoot 90-150 5.56 rounds and get back to you if it goes bad. I really like this scope so let’s hope it goes well!
