Looking at one of these, but would like to hear some reviews first.

Bushnell 4x Prism

Some nice tech specs they have listed.

Bizarre names for optics.

Bullet drop compensating reticle AND uncapped turrets?

There's a fair bit of difference in trajectory between M193 and MK262 or .308.

3+ MOA wind drift isn't uncommon at extended ranges.

Mil based reticle.

Their tech data kind of sucks. Doesn't say the graduation of the turrets.

With 5 brightness settings, I doubt these would be NV compatible

Was looking into this as well.  I contacted Bushnell and per their reply to my email , as of October 5, 2017.... they are in production but have not shipped out yet. They also stated that MIDWAY USA has exclusive sales rights to it

How much are they gonna be?  

Why on earth would they design it with uncapped turrets?

Well, I bought one and it showed up today (I live just a few hours from Midway). The glass is nice and clear for the price point, but looking through a PA 2.5x I have, they're about equal, maybe a slight advantage to the Bushnell.

It is *NOT* compatible with ACOG mounts, like the Primary Arms fixed scoped are. The mount is removable, but doesn't look compatible with any mount on the market that I can think of. This is unfortunate.

It weighs 16.9oz, which is about .5oz more than a PA 3x. Eye relief is about 3 inches or so.
The illumination is very bright, most definitely daytime visible looking in the general direction of the sun. I didn't think to take a picture of it with the illumination on, but can try tomorrow of someone needs it.

I'd like to see how it tracks up 15 MOA, and left and right 5 MOA. Click value and height above rail would be good as well. @runner6m

It's made in the same factory that makes: Primary Arms, Vortex, Cabela, Burris........so that manual is written by a non-English speaker.

Been busy with work and haven't had much time to sit down more with this thing, but I know now... it's going back.
The manual clearly states the reticle uses marks in mils, and says since the elevation turret is also in mils it makes for easy adjustments.

...Both turrets clearly say 1 click = 0.5 MOA.
