Bushnell Optics, 4.5-18X40 DZ 6.5 Creed, Box 6L

I am rating it only 3 stars, because I haven't had it out to my club for actual use yet. I can report the scope looks great, has pretty decent glass given the low price, and the packaging is very well done. I looked through it and ran the magnification up to 18 and the image I was looking at, a corn silo, really popped. I could see a ton of detail, and the quality of the glass was, frankly, pretty stunning. No it's not a top of the line scope with 3K glass, but for what I paid, I was impressed. Fit and finish is very nice, and the scope has a bit of heft to it without being overly heavy. I plan on mounting this to a 22LR precision rifle, and dialing in what i need to get out to 200 to 300 yards. Once I get out to the club, I'll come back and complete this review. I might, just for kicks mount on a 6.5 Creedmoor rifle and see if the BD actually comes close. Experience tells me no under 200 bucks scope ever made will be able to withstand the recoil from the 6.5C, nor will it hold zero, but we'll see. I wouldn't hesitate to buy one of these for smaller caliber rifle shooting. I'm impressed with the quality so far, but it's way early. More from me soon. Thanks to all the others who've reviewed this scope here, I bought it after reading what many of you said.

I bought this scope on sale for about $100 and I dont think i could be any more pleased!! I wasn't sure about making the purchase but im very pleased I did because it's a very good scope for the money.. I wanted this for a little project budget rifle I've been messing with and it worked out perfect.. I do a good bit of shooting and im impressed with the overall performance of this one.. its VERY clear for $100 and the drop points are pretty much on as far as I can tell( It does good with my rifle).. I've shot out to 600 yards with this rifle and ringing steal with some minor wind adjustments.. For a cheap truck or fun project gun it's a good buy.. Also the turrets are very smooth for the money and on point.. Over all great scope but keep in mind that it's still not a $1000 and only designed for out to 600 yards with the drop points!! Over all good scope!!

Purchased another version of this scope and then found this one on Amazon. Both of the scopes have been mounted and to the range and performed flawlessly. The advantages to these scopes are that they are not too big. They fit an AR platform without taking up a lot of real estate. The power range of 4.5-18 is good for up close work and out to 400 yards. The optics are clear over the whole range and the ring works well with the lever. The scope also has the benefit of side focus. The retical is not overwhelming or too thick. Finally the scope is made in a first world country, South Korea, and the quality shows. The only thing that is a little rough is the surface which you may or may not like but gives the scope a unique texture and look. I will purchase this scope again and this is not a cheap scope.

Put this on my .280 and ran the ballistics of my load through the Strelok Pro app to determine the values for the lines in relation to my particular loads. Once I had it "zeroed" for the optimal distance for the crosshairs, using the stadia marks, point of impact was nearly dead on, within normal statistical errors. Glass is very good and the side focus (parallax adjustment) is about all I buy anymore. The handy little power throw lever is a welcome bonus for not having to wrestle with stubborn power rings. Decent scope at a reasonable price.Do not forget that this is a second focal plane scope and any trajectory values for the stadia lines change with power settings.

Put this on a 308 Cetme, did not bore sight it in. When to the range at 100 years and the first shot 1.5" low to the left about 2". 2nd shot bulls eye, that was on a big target turn on it back so, it was just white with one red dot sticker, that they give you to cover your shot hole with. I have $350.00 Vortex 3 of them and $565.00 Vanguard, $400.00 Riton. This to me, is as good as the Vortex, Better then the Vanguard and just below the Riton. By the time I shot 20 rounds my grouping was just under 1.5", very little red sticker left. For a $109.99 price, this is GREAT. No, I'm no sharp shooter, just had a great day.

Great scope for the money, glass mid-range, crosshair is a little thick wish it had like a Horus windage rectical. Have had it in rain, snow and 20 degrees Fahrenheit and ATV 16 miles a day. Held zero function is good first 2 clicks spongy , tracks above average for cost. Mounted on Grendel first 2 on par have not stecheched it's legs to 1000. For the price you can't beat this.

Nice clear scope for the price . I use it on a 22 lr . Would have given it five stars except the power knob when set on 18 power gets in the way of working my bolt on my CZ452 and the crosshairs are a little thick .I switched the scope over to a custom 10/22 . Works much better , no bolt handle to get in the way .

This is a budget optic. For the money, it's a good purchase. I had the windage cap came off first time at the range. Bushnell sent a replacement, no questions, no charge. Shooting 2" groups at 100. Mostly due to operator error, not optic error. Haven't had it in weather yet, but good plinking scope
