Phenomenal scope from a long standing, reputable company. - Bushnell AR Optics 1-8x24mm Rifle Scope, 30mm Tube, Second Focal Plane (SFP)

I've been buying Bushnell products since childhood, but that's besides the point - it's a reputable company with a lifetime (25-yr?) warranty, just like Vortex. Now, I managed to score this 1-8x Bushnell LPVO on ebay for $200, unworried because of Bushnell's warranty. Sorry fellas. Comparing to my buddy's other optics, this is a very, very good quality scope. One thing me and my friends love is the rubberized throw lever. In fact, the throw lever can be unscrewed, removed entirely, or you can add *an additional* section, lengthening the lever. Pretty neat. The glass is very clear and I especially like the AR15-specific reticle and drop tree. It's tuned for 223/556 and the manual easily explains how to utilize the tree appropriately. The adjustment towers are very high quality and have very distinct 'clicks'. It has 11 brightness settings, #11 being very bright and is useful during the day. I did wonder if 1-8x is beyond my needs and if 1-6x would be sufficient, but after looking I found they're the same weight, so kept the 1-8x. Glad I did. Bushnell has been around for eons and while I haven't needed their customer service, I'm sure they'll be supportive if and when there's a problem.
