Better than the se; worth the sale price. - Bushnell AR Optics 1-6x24mm LPVO Rifle Scope, 30mm Tube, Second Focal Plane

This is arguably the best optic for entry LPVOs, apart from the the SIG MSR 1-6x.

At $400, it is inching towards the Viper PST in price although this optic is not bad for the price. On sale, it is a hard LPVO to beat. I bought this to replace my SE 1-6x after it literally broke apart TWICE and RMA'd TWICE in a spare NF mount on my SIG 716i Tread. Don't get any Strike Eagle products unless they're going on a PCC, or .22LR build.

If you don't know if you want an LPVO, this is a great entry-level option. The fish-eye is absolute trash although that's kind of the inherent caveat all optics made in China will bring. Actually daylight bright reticle.

Little chromatic aberration and the 1x is an actual 1x.

The throw lever is STIFF.

The diopter requires adjustment ever so slightly between magnification. Just set it and leave it.

I ended up getting 2 high-tier LPVOs and giving this one to a friend to try out. As I said, a great entry-level product to see if you want to get a mid, or premium, product down the road.

Grab it on sale, get the SIG MSR 1-6x, or just save for a Viper PST 1-6x Gen II.
