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

[HaveBlue83]

I got one today. I have been waiting forever to get one. I knew about it last year...I hate waiting. I have used Calguns sooooooooo often that I figured I would contribute. I'm east coast so i have a million evil features.

Pro's:
-reticle is sooo ACOG, for NOT $1,000. Finally have a nice red dox style at 1x and a horseshoe with drops at 4x.

-throw lever. smooth and fast

-30mm tube is nice.

Cons:
I have one gripe...i have one tiny (like im talking TINY) little dot on the glass that shows while it's illuminated. above and to the left of the reticle. it's prolly gonna go back for that if it bothers me over time. Good warranty = no worries.

it's heavy, but feels well built.

I JUST mounted it tonight in a USA made GG&G throw lever mount. I decided to buy a good mount for once.

Butler creek covers are #02A Obj, and #16 Eye

OK pics....If i get out tomorrow I will get some more pics. it's freezing and snowing out.

Is it possible to mount this scope, and still have enough room to use the buis and possibly co-witness?

Nice thanks to my favorite vendor

Thanks for the write up's that as usual reminds me why I love OpticsPlanet and Dvor. Now can you PLEASE stop having such awesome deals you're killing my bank account

Sorry guys that its taken me so long to report back. Ok so far ive been able to take it out to the range three times putting 150-200 rounds down range each time.

Zeroed it at 100 yards on my first range trip with 6 rounds. Shot another 20 rounds or so and made minor adjustments to it being that it was also the first time our shooting the AR. Once everything settled in. The optic held its zero for the rest of the day. My last 20 rounds for the day i tried it out at 200 and 300 yards and went ten for ten on each.

In my opinion at 50 yards the focus was kinda blurry but at 100+ it was pretty crisp and clear and the reticle is extremely clear as well. It held zero from each range trip to the next. The turrets in my opinion are solid and has good positive feedback with each adjustment. Loved the throwlever on it.

Id say for the price of it. The 1-4 scope from bushnell is worth it. A little on the heavy side but either than that i think it works great.

Hi Trevor,

i was wondering if you know if those bushnell ar optics come in a green illumination? cause i can see green better then red cause i am partial color blind?

different mount though... SWFA mount vs Burris PEPR QD... and SWFA shipping is twice as much.

basically ends up being a couple bucks more to get the quick detach mount at PSA, or save a couple bucks for the SWFA.

Pretty sure the SWFA branded mount and the SWFA rings are made by Burris.... its just a PERP with their name on it. The Burris PERP also comes in a fixed model.

You are right tho, one is the fixed mount and the other is the QD.

Just bought the Bushnell AR/223 1-4 power scope and I will say for the price it costs there isn't a better scope to be had even at twice the price.

Mine didn't have the throw level or red dot just the 223 BDC reticle and cross hairs. So its a little cheaper than the one reviewed on page one but well worth the money still.

Took it to the range and I must say it was a blast! The turrets on the scope can be set to zero so that's a huge plus.

Bushnell did a awesome job with the scope and I would recommend this to anyone looking for a 1-4 power that they can purchase without burning a hole in the bank account.

It's not even nearly bright enough in daylight. Indoors I see a spec of red light as well, about 4 o clock of the reticle.

Anybody have the diamter for the eyepiece or occular part of the scope?? I can't seem to find it, everywhere lists the tube diameter and the objective diameter. Need to see which QD mount might work with this scope while using a Matech buis.

Received mine today from Amazon ... apparently broken. Illumination knob won't budge.

Unless there is a secret to unfreezing the knob, it's going back.

Got the replacement from Amazon, it's perfect. One change from a much earlier post: illumination is off between clicks. I like that.
