Hey guys,
I get that with optics, you typically get what you pay for. I also realize that Bushnell typically makes "OK" scopes, nothing overwhelming as they mass produce their products in china.
6-24x 50mm
All that said, I am not looking for a high end scope. I am looking for an affordable 24x zoom scope with a fair warranty, and I am thinking the new Trophy Xtreme MAY be an option, but I fear its more of the "get what you pay for" syndrome.... its priced in the $250 range for the 6-24x-50mm offering.
I have experience using my brothers Vortex Viper, and while I CAN afford it, I just cant justify the $600 price tag with my current life expenses...
I am not in any hurry to make a decision, but there are just too many other things to spend that extra +/- $400 on that are more important....
Also, I would only REACH out the scope maybe 2 or 3 times a year target shooting. not anything I plan to do alot. just something I want to have the reach for... (800+ yards)
most of my shooting will be 400yrds or less.
will be mounting on a 6.5 Grendel AR, so recoil is also not a concern with the cheaper optic.
the trophy xtreme line seem to have a new "no questions asked, it COVERED" warranty which seems pretty legit at this pricepoint...
again, I know i am not going to have the clarity or low light visibility like a quality Nikon or Vortex optic, but i think for the price it may be enough of what I want. I know there are a ton of "buy once cry once" theorists on this forum, and if the Bushnell is really that bad I would have to consider going up in price, but I am not looking for people to just say "Bushnell or Vortex, DONT buy a bushnell" - hoping someone here may have gotten their hands on the Trophy Xtreme and may have a opinion of it? Its been out for a year and theres not a lot of press on this scope, which makes me nervous.
I will add that I have an AR Optics 223 scope in 18x zoom, and while its glass is no where near as clear as my 9x Burris, its totally acceptable. Only complaint is small eye relief window, but if thats all i have to content with I would be fine with that...
SOOOOO...... with all that said, anyone have any experience with the trophy xtreme?
