Bushnell experience....

[santacruzgunner]

Purchased a relatively inexpensive 3-9 x 40 bushnell pro hunter scope.after the initial sighting in, I was super stoked on the setup. The something on the inside managed to unthread itself. It was unfixable with out ripping it apart. So i sent it back for a warranty repair. Bottom line is that they sent me a replacement right away (2.5 weeks) so im very happy. I half expected to never hear anything back from them. Bushnell may not be a super top tier brand but they took care of the issue no questions asked. Thats the way it should be. Don't own many Bushnell products, but i wouldn't hesitate to purchase more items from them in the future.

You missed out on the real problem.
It is a cheap Bushnell and it BROKE!
You had to pay to send it in and some brands require a small fee also.
The best Warr is one you never need.
Not sure what you put it on or the purpose of the firearm. If for hunting then a Leupold. If you want cheaper an American made Redfield.
If it is a plinker/range toy then other brands will work but getting the lowest grade in any manufactures line is a mistake.
But NEVER buy a BSA or Barska

Bushnell makes some decent stuff too, not only cheap stuff.

Bushnell makes some decent stuff. Key word 'some' - but their Walmart line is not something I would want to rely on in the field. Their Elite line is decent.

However, as mentioned, if you are going to be using it in the field on a Hunting Rifle, get something better. Leupold etc.

Every optic, regardless of price, can have warrantee issues from time to time. I have a Bushnell HDMR on one of my 700P rifles (.308) and it has done very well.

I have their Bushnell AR 223 line 3x9x40 and that little budge scope is awesome for the price! would buy again without even thinking about it

Bushnell has a few higher end options like the G2DMR / HDMR that I like, but the only thing I own from their catalog right now is one of their range finders...

The Bushnell Elite 1 Mile ARC

So far so good, its been a pretty good piece for the price.

When it comes to scopes, I have a couple other pet brands I generally consider first, but even those brands have a catalog that spans from entry level stuff to high end.

I tend to stick with companies that have good a good warranty, service, and buy from the mid to upper end of their catalog. Bushnell would also fall into that category.

CouchOperator---Posting what you did after I tried to give some good advise----Which others also said just shows what an inexperienced idiot you are.
If you do not have something worthwhile to add then best to post nothing---That is a bit of advise you should take to heart.

Maybe if you had taken the time to write a proper response, instead of coming off like a ****throwing monkey, i would have replied differently. Do tell how you have gathered your "knowledge" of my experience? Heres a pic of a couple bangers to spice things up.

Oh Typical mall ninja and sniper want to be.

My answer was short and to the point. Not offensive But maybe you need to go to your safe place since you cannot see or understand a non-PC, entitlement, tree hugger answer.

This is my last post on this so flame away..........no matter how small a flame you are. You are not worth my time anymore. Take you little toys and go home. No use for you here.

Lmfao, no please come back. I didnt know good taste in rifles made me a sniper wannabe. Im curious to see you actually back up your prior claim, as well as how exactly my long range bangers make me a sniperwannabe. Dont ever go on snipershide.com!
Now your even further down the rabbit hole lolol.
