Bushnell Sportview scopes
« on: July 22, 2004, 01:38:15 AM »
What's the common opinion on these scopes? I'm talking about the older ones made in Korea. I know #*!mart used to carry them a few years ago, so I assumed they were not worth looking at. Now I saw a NIB 4-12 AO and wondered if it's worth a try on one of my 22's. The price was pretty reasonable (less than $70).

Someone at my friend's lease had one mounted on a .243.  I can't speak for personal experience, but his rifle couldn't group consistently, and the groups moved around.  It wasn't the gun, at least from what I could see, and it wasn't the mounts.  I really think it was the scope.  I know that he said that he tried to adjust it, but the tracking was just awfull.  Again, maybe it was just that one scope, but then again, this is a low-level scope.  For your .22 it may not be a big deal, but, then again, you're better of spending a little bit more money and getting a better scope, in my personal opinion.
