30/06 after forearm work
« on: November 14, 2009, 03:46:00 PM »
I did the O ring fix and relieved the forearm so it's completely free floated.

It isn't gonna win an Olympic medal but not too bad at the 150 yard mark.

At 150 yards that will do the job any day. :)

I was afraid someone would ask that.
Most of my rifles have Leupold and I have a couple Nikons, Burris and Bushnell. The Bushnells being the Line I draw on cheap scopes.

I saw these at a gunshow and the fellow selling them needed money so I got one less than half price I got it for fifty couple dollars)

It's a SIMO and I had read a little about them on the net but never seen one. Pentax spent a bunch of money in China, building a plant to make these and all accounts I read (There weren't many) were good.

The optics are GREAT...as good as my Leupolds. It has an illuminated, mil dot cross hair and I have had it on a couple heavy hitters including the 12FH...and it ain't broke yet!

How well it will hold up over time, I have no idea, but it's interesting. Good optics with a 50mm objective is amazing in itself on a cheap scope.

It's supposed to have a lifetime warranty but I bought it using AmEx so I have a year no matter what.

I've seen $1200 rifles that couldn't shoot that good at 100 yards. Great job!

I’m glad to here that the Bushnell is performing well for you.  I have had good luck with them also.  Currently have 3 and about to acquire a 4-12 x40 adj. objective to mount on my Ultra .223.  I call myself frugal (some call me cheap) so the Bushnell line fits right into what I plan for scopes.

Most scopes are made in China.  The ones that aren't are assembled from Chinese made parts in some other country.  I prefer cheap scopes myself and $149.99 is about the most I'll pay.  Good shooting.

I didn't get into shooting until after the days of "pay as much or more for your scope as you did for the rifle" had passed. I am sure there are still some holdouts that remain steadfast in this way of thinking ( I won't call it old thinking, because there was good logic behind it), but as quality has gone up and prices come down, I would prefer to buy another rifle and a scope, than pay $350+ for just a scope. It will be interesting to see over time if low cost scopes become throw-away commodities, rather than lifetime keepers.
