I wanted a good scope for my AR, as I am going to be doing some 3 Gun soon but I am on a tight budget and simply can not afford $800 for a scope. I read some reviews from others and although some said the illuminated reticle was not visible on a bright and sunny day, I decided to take a chance. I am very glad I did. The scope looks great on my AR and is perfect for 3 Gun; at 1X the reticle appears to be a "red dot" for short range targets and at 4X I can easily see and hit targets at 200 yards and beyond. As for the illuminated reticle on very bright days - it doesn't disappear, it appears to be black in color instead of red, but it is still very visible. This scope has a lot of features that you normally only find on scopes that are more than twice the price. I did a lot of homework before buying this scope and feel this is the perfect scope for me and the price at OpticsPlanet was far better than any other vendor I could find. OpticsPlanet - a great product at a great price and how can you beat free shipping.

I purchased an Bushnell AR Optics scope and was looking for some good rings to mount it with when I read some reviews of people who were using these Weaver Tactical rings. I am very glad I did. These rings are very light weight and hold the scope without any part of it coming loose and I haven't even used any Loctite. I placed this scope on my AR, onto a picatinney rail; I used an inch/lbs tool to tighten them down, tightening the two bolts that hold the rings onto the rail at 30 inch/lbs and the six screws that tighten the saddles to 25 inch pounds and after 200 rounds at the range the scope is still as solid as the day I installed it. The great thing about these rings is that they are great rings to secure your scope at a third of the price of some of the better known brand names and OpticsPlanet was great in both their customer service and their shipping was excellent; I received the package much quicker than I expected.
