Rifle Scopes Bushnell Forge

[dntworry]

I am getting a Bushnell Forge back as my elite 4500 that I sent in was apparently "beyond repair". Anyone have experience with this optic? Any idea how it compares to a Burris XTR II ?

I haven't been able to find any good information on them outside of advertorials that I wouldn't trust for a second. Any time American Hunter publishes something, I take it with a grain of salt. I'm hoping to see the Forge on Expert Voice soon to try out the 4.5-27x50 with the Deploy Mil Reticle.

I have played with one several times. Glass seems to be clear and turrets seem to be crisp. Let us know when you get one and how you like it. Thinking about getting one myself.

Just a heads up. I believe that scope on Expert Voice is second focal plane. I could he wrong though. Not sure if it matters to you.

The Forge is not listed on Expert Voice as of today. I spoke to a Bushnell rep about timing they said they hoped to have them on by the end of the year. None of the new Forge/Nitro/Prime are listed.

My bad. I was thinking about Cabela's site. Some times I wonder about myself. Lol.

I played with one of the 4.5-27x models, it was a nice scope as far as I could tell. The turrets were nice and the glass seemed to be clear and sharp. It seemed to have a better image than the Leupold vx3i lrp I compared it to. This was inside of a store, so it's hard to give a definitive comparison. I think you will be happy with the upgrade.

From what I can tell there is no first hand review on this but looks to be an upgrade you will be happy with.
