Bushnell has increased its offering of AR Optics, with two new riflescopes for 2020. Instantly compatible with four of the most popular AR-platform calibers, the riflescopes feature ballistic drop turrets and are available with or without an illuminated reticle. The riflescopes are of variable power: 4.5-18X 40 mm, with BDC turrets, and are customized for use with .223 Rem., .308 Win., 6.5 mm Creedmoor or .224 Valkyrie thanks to the inclusion of four ballistic drop turrets. Typical to Bushnell AR Optics, the new riflescopes come with a Throw Hammer Level for quick magnification changes, and a durable one-inch tube with a second focal plane (SFP) reticle. The optic's glass is fully multi-coated and extra-low dispersion. For more information, please visit bushnell.com.
