you are correct not burris, I have been scouring the internet too long... thanks my mind is numb.
I was curious about this. Thanks for the description.I've got that same Bushnell scope, mounted mine with a Weaver 30mm SPC mount. I had a a Trijicon TriPower before, and the Bushnell offered everything I was looking for in a scope. I've got a carbine length gas system and my front sight disappears before I get to 2x. At 1x, the reticle is just above my front sight.
^^^The more I think about it, do you think that is why Bushnell used the horseshoe reticle?I was curious about this. Thanks for the description.
oooh, I like that aero mount. wish I wasn't cheap and already had a mountAero Precision makes a lightweight & strong mount for a good price. It's normally $85, which is an excellent value, but now it's on sale for $73

I don't know how anybody mounts a scope with the lens right over or even to the rear of the charging handle.
That's where all mine are also.The "preferred" placement of a scope on an AR is for the eyepiece to be just about flush with the rear of the charging handle.
That Throwdown is right in the price I want to spend and looks good. It's a lot heavier than my 10 ounce Nikon at 17 ounces, but I can overlook.
What do you think of the reticle? Looks a little busy.

4mm larger objective and 30mm vs 1" explains the weight difference to the Nikon.
