[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Bushnell copies the ACOG?

Posted: 1/18/2006 8:13:25 PM EDT

Can't believe nobody else saw this yet (or I may just suck at the search feature) buti got my new cabelas today and saw this thing

considering how up in arms everybody is about copies of optics I figured this would be something to see. I guess making a scope that looks the same isn't infact a copyright issue.

I may have to try one of these things out one day..

And only $200 or $300 (can't remember). I saw it, too. It's a pretty shnazzy looking sight. I was even tempted.

Regards,
PatG.

There is already a post on here about it. I think they had a link to MidWay and it was like $150.

It has NO MAGNIFICATION, which would seem to disqualify it from being an ACOG copy, except cosmetics wise.

Bummer, I was hoping it would be a decent copy that I could put on my 10/22.

welp if ya remember according ot this site if it looks like the product it's an illegal copy.. Performance doesn't matter, only looks..

But yea still seems like something worth checking out to me, I may have to get one
