| I've had an Aimpoint, EoTech and two ACOGs (newest version Tri-Power and a TSN) I sold them all because I didn't care for the reticles. On a whim I bought the Bushnell ACOG clone for $151 shipped. Went to the range today and put 100 rounds of Hornady 55 gr TAP and 150 of Black Hills 68 gr down range. Got the best groups I've shot with any optic (except for the 4.5-14 on my Varminter)and it held it's zero throughout. All groups were under 1/2" center-to-center at 50 yds. This is on a RRA 16' middy with chrome bore (didn't try it at 100) While I wouldn't recommend it for a duty rifle, on a plinker it's perfect. YMMV |
| No, it does not co-witness on mine. I had to use YHM mini risers so it would clear my ARMS 40L. It may co-witness with the front sight only if mounted directly to the receiver. I didn't try it. Haven't had it long enough to address battery life and it isn't covered in the paperwork. |
Yep... a red/green dot sight not magnified. Other than superficially in no way a ACOG clone but a dot sight. www.bushnell.com/general/riflescopes_trophy_73-0132p.cfm   |
I never thought I'd say it, but I think I'd prefer one of the knockoff ACOGs over that. I mean, at least they have magnification. |

I just picked one up from www.centuriontactical.com and when I got it to put on the screw in the bottom of the mount on the base of the scope, somebody cross threaded. so I had to send it back. :( I was super impressed with it, until I couldnt get it to bolt up flush. so, as soon as I get it back I will let you know what I think of it. but Im excited about it... |
| It looks interesting, but I'd feel kind of silly buying one since it is dressed up to make it look like something much more expensive... sort of like a Pontiac Fiero with a Ferrari body kit. Though if the reticle works and it's put together well, that is all that really matters. |

any idea what it takes to get it to cowitness? it seems that just the scope is much to low, but a 1/2" riser is very high. anyone make a 1/3" riser? or even a 1/4? Any way to mount an aimpoint (or clone) magnifer at the correct height behind it ? would this riser work? eotec riser Optic Mounts Yankee Hill Eotech Riser This mount elevates your Eotech 1/4 inch to give you a better sight picture. Now the iron sights will no longer obscure the Eotech reticle. Our Price: $36.00 |
