I think I'm wanting to get a 1-4 or a 2-7 illuminated scope for my AR15... any recommendations that are around the $200 mark or less? Thanks
Not really.sounds like the guy knows what he is talking about:
The lower end Bushnells are made in the Philippines, but the Elites are made in Japan. The Bushnell Elites are the new versions of the old Bausch & Lomb Elite line, under the Bushnell name since the corporation pulled the B&L brand out of sport optics.Bushnell - Elite 3200 and better
Yup. Bushnell scopes are manufactured in the Philippines and in their price range they are the brightest scopes available.
The frills aren't there, but you still get good glass, a very durable scope, and the best warranty in the industry, backed by the best service in the industry.The VX-I and VX-II scopes, in particular, are not good scopes. They are on par with the competition's scopes that sell for between $50.00 and $150.00. I consider them throwaways. They are a huge disappointment to me.

These are Japanese manufactured scopes. As far as I know, this company came out of nowhere. I'm glad they did. For $400.00 you can purchase a scope of the quality for which Leupold charges nearly $700.00.
