Reviews & Ratings for Open Box Dealer Demo, Bushnell Sportsman 4-12x40 Black Gloss Multi-X Adjustable Objective Rifle Scope 720412C — 9 reviews — Page 1

I quit trying to get this thing sighted in. I maxed out on the trying to bring the cross crosshairs down and it wouldn't move. This scope is junk.

This scope is an excellent value. It works great, focus and power is very very good. Great deal from OpticsPlanet!
Pros: Received as good as new in box, great value!
Cons: None

overall a good scope for the money
Pros: very clear
Cons: doesnt open up as fast as I would llike

great scope for my .270 win
Pros: 300 + yards
Cons: 3 diffrent adjustments

I agree with the above; The quality really Surprised me for a scope in this price range. A Decade ago, a scope made in China was much less quality than Korea, Japan, and Europe. Bushnell's Elites are made in Japan and no doubt, they are the best. But Bushnell's Korean made Scopes were actually surprisingly good in the 80's and 90's and probably even better now. I feel that in the 90's China was struggling with Quality Control; but after buying this scope I am convinced that Bushnell's Chinese Manufacturing Facility has adequate Quality Control; and could very likely be on power with the Korean made scopes. The ring on my Parallax Adjustment came loose; but I fixed it better than the factory with some good RTV Clear Silicon. This scope feels so heavy duty; I swear; it feels more solid than a Bushnell ELite. But we all know Elites are the best. However, IF YOU WANT A SCOPE IN THE CHEAP PRICE RANGE; ALWAYS GO WITH BUSHNELL. YOU'LL NEVER BE DISAPPOINTED. I have two Bushnell buckhorns from the early 90's made in Korea and they are sealed good because they haven't lost any of the Nitrogen Fill; you can tell because if it looses nitrogen the inside of the objective and/or ocular lenses will form a light fog/film; which will not distort your view; but you can notice if you examine the lenses(not actually looking thru the scope). Those two older Buckhorn's I have also have good tracking, and just the sharpest looking duplex reticle you can ask for. Go with Bushnell; if you want a step...

I bought this scope from Wal-Mart the day I picked up my Marlin 917V back in 2005. It was $70 then and it has been a great addition to my Marlin. Great optical quality for the price, as good as some higher priced BSA I have, and I always prefer the adjustable objective scopes.

Purchased it from my local Walmart for $70. Mounted it on my Savage 93, .17hmr with heavy barrel. Sighted in very quickly, it was very close right out of package. Shooting sub 1" groups at 100 yards and 1.5 - 2" groups at 150+ yards, with bipod and table. I wanted a little more magnification, but 12x seems to be enough. Have only shot about 100 rounds through it and it's still holding zero. Great scope, buy it and you will be happy. It's as good as the $249 Bushnell I have on my Remington 700 30-06.
Pros: Looks great and Works great
Cons: None as of yet
