Review of the Bushnell 1-4x24mm Throw Down PCL , updated from range

[Seven_Duce]

Yes I'm positive it was the same exact model
I returned it and ordered one from swfa with a mount for $273 shipped I'm in no hurry so I can wait

Also they had a surefire forend for an 870 I believe for $300 something this was yesterday, they expanded their sporting goods section and are carrying more firearm related stuff like rifle cases and more cleaners

wow, decent stuff for a Walmart...

What did you think of the PCL?... did you have a chance to check it out much before returning it?

I fondled it for a while before I returned it, but I couldn't mount it because I didn't have a mount. I also didn't install the battery, I just looked through it without it. I took some pics of the reticle but they didn't turn out well. The scope felt a little heavy built solid, I think it's like 17oz. The glass was clear, at 1x I couldn't make out the hash marks all i could see was the horse shoe I don't have 20/20 vision so your results might differ. At about 2-2.5x I could start seeing the hash marks. The lever turned smoothly and wasn't easy but not too hard just right for my preference.

Turrets clicked and had a positive feel.

This 1st pic is at 1x crapy pic, was kinda hard holding the scope in one hand and aiming the camera in the other
The rest are at 4x







All in all i think this is a great scope for under $300

Looks real decent man. Thanks for posting. I think I'm gonna pull the trigger on this when they are available.......

For 225 dollars I am very skeptical of this comment " no real noticeable chromatic aberration." Every cheap/inexpensive scope I have see suffers from CA and less than steller optics in general.

Sure, the scope had a very minimal amount. But, if you're looking at optics in this price range, you shouldn't be concerned about chromatic abberation. If that is your concern, youre in a much higher level off the bat.

I've been following this thread, so I guess it's only fair that I give my input now.

I bought one of these recently, and I gotta say, it's a damned impressive scope for the money. The glass is not amazing like an Accupoint, but it's good enough. Everything else is pretty much top-notch. That includes the illumination, which is easily daylight visible. I wish I had a Viper PST to compare it to...

Anyways, it's mounted up on my Cali-illegal AR-15 on an ADM-Recon-30 mount. Looking forward to taking it to the range for a better report.

Glad to hear it!

I put a rush on it to get it up on the site for ordering. Should be up in the next few days!

Trevor, you might want to have the description changed in the AR91424... it says it's the PCL Throwdown (FFP) at $193 http://www.opticsplanet.com/bushnell...iflescope.html ... that is gonna piss a lot of people off when they realize it's really the regular 223 SECOND FOCAL PLANE scope (with no throw lever): http://www.bushnell.com/tactical/rif...tics/1-4x-24mm

Granted, the site does have the real PCL listed: http://www.opticsplanet.com/bushnell...iflescope.html - but it's $289.

I was two seconds from cancelling a competitor order and ordering from Optics Planet... thankfully I researched the actual model number... adding the "I" to the model number makes a HUGE difference in product! http://www.bushnell.com/tactical/rif...throw-down-pcl

LB,

Thanks for the heads up. Sent it over to our web guys/girls to have it updated. Appreciate the catch.
