Hi. I've been looking at Bushnell scopes. Is the Banner a quality scope? Thanks. Alec.

A 3x9 Busnell Banner is a good scope in it's price range.  I have three of them.  They have never failed me.  And Busnell fixed the one I took a hard fall with.  All it cost me was postage.  Certainly there are better scopes but you are going to pay a lot more.

I have a 1.5-4.5 banner.  It was on my 45/70.  Took an elk and a deer with it.  

Not the best scopes, but for the money I definetly have no complaints about it

I have two, with bullet drop compensator.  The only problem is that the top turrent will catch on a Koplin case and snap the plastic screw off.

That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today who no longer understand that fact.

I have a 4-12x40Ao and I like it better than most of my high dollar scopes. I can't tell a difference between the Banner and my 3200.  They look the same.  The Banner is one of the best bangs for the buck out there.

I have 3 x 9 -50's on my 25-06 and .270. Like them a lot and wouldn't hestitate to buy another. Good scope for the money, in my opinion.

I've got a Banner 6-18 X 50mm and a 4-12 X 40mm.  Both good scopes for the money.  I've also got a Nikon Buckmaster.  When I have the Banner and Buckmaster scopes both at the range at the same time, I can see a difference.  The image in the Nikon scope is sharper and color slightly truer.  But the Nikon cost over twice as much as the Banners.  The Banners work for me.  I won't be trading 'em in any time soon.
