Bushnell elite handgun scope 2-6 power

[jmarriott]

I just traded a SIMMONS 22 MAG SCOPE (lnib) and a buck 393 12 point knife for a handgun scope.

I have beem in the market for a variable power handgun scope for a couple of years. I tried the burris and when the magnification levels of the scope changed so did the eye relief. It was a real pain and I got rid of it. the glass was a bit fisheyed also.

This one is mag rated up for 454 cascual and the eye relief stay constant at all levels. It has the rainguard sticker on it still and believe it or not the guy removed it in front of me from a ak rifle mounted in some weird forward mounted rail. It is an Extended eye relief scope and not a intermediate eye relief scope so no wonder he was not pleased with it.

I bought that simmons 22 mag sope many years ago for about 40-50 dollars (the box said 69.99 but I did not pay that) and the buck 393 12 point knife was a gift I was never going to use since I have about 20 fixed blade knives. I must admit if I was in the market for a fixed blade deer gutting knife it was a real nice one and American made. So I have about 50 dollars and 10 or so In gas to meet up for the deal.

So for under 70 dollars this one might just be the deal of the year for me. 299 at swfa.com

I think a set of Warne quick detachable rings are in my future as then I can switch it around on my contender barrels or even on my buckmark pistol.

That waisted time on the internet message boards paid of this time. I think when i get off work this morning at 1:30 am I will mount it on my 223 14 inch contender barrel and see if I can get it sighted in.

Lapping rings right now pic's coming up when i get up. going to set it up on my 223 super 14 barrel for now and get some weaver rails to replace a couple of T?C rails on the other tender barrels. I think the warne quick detachable rings are a must. Spread the scope accross a few barrels and maybe on my buckmark silouite pistol.

I am pumped. I expected to have to pony up some cash with those items. I did not. We met at the rural King parking lot so when I was done watching him remove it from a ak I celebrated with buying a 100 rounds of CCi mini mags. 6.99 on sale a dollar off.

I also felt it was my luck day and got a cup of coffee and a 5 dolar scratch off lotto ticket. The 5 dollars was wasted. I guess my luck run out.

I have always been a big fan of Bushnell scopes, especially since my rifle fell out the gun rack, out the window of my truck, onto the ground and the scope it a big rock. It was a Bushnell Banner 1.5-4X. I remember thinking that scope had had it. I took it to the 100-yd range the next day and, believe it or not, the zero was still right on the money. The top adjustment cap still has a gotchie where it hit the rock. That was probably nearly 40-yrs. ago. I still have the scope and am still using it.

Setup the scope on the 223 barrel with a b-square mount. Will have to wait to shot as the wind is up but sunday is going to be cold and rather calm. Good enough and I get to test my handloads and see how she is doing. I also took off the bi-pod with the barrel brachet to get it sighted in and plan to remove it to carry. You barrel harmonics guys

My handloads in 222 rem went into a .73 group of 5 at 100 in my rem 700. I was impressed with the old 222 powder i got. It seems the little gun might get their but 322 was the old benchrest standard.

The older Simmons 22mag scopes were probably the BEST scope to put on a 22lr. They were quiet pricey back then at $70.

My Marlin 22 bolt is my most used rifle and I've never had to make an adjustment on that 22mag scope in the 10-12 years I've had it.
