Asking for a friend. My brother wants to put a scope on this bushmaster. It is over 18 years old, fired very little, and quite accurate.
For reference, he has red dots, Nightforce 1-8 and others, leupold, etc. but wants some advice for this one.
Quote from him “don’t really want a 1-8. But want a scope to get the most potential out of that weapon. Obviously a big scope would be a waste, but wanna get a good match for the bushmaster primarily for hunting. Don’t need illumination. But wouldn’t mind it.”
He asked about a NF 2.5-10x24. Thoughts?
He said he won’t buy a vortex. No offense.
Any further questions or something I missed just ask and I’ll get an answer.
Thanks for any and all replies.
