Bushnell Elite 1-6.5x SMRS BTR1 SFP 3Gun Scope Review

This video features a review of a budget 1-4 power AR scope from Bushnell, specifically set up for a 300 Blackout AR-15. The reviewer discusses how this scope bridges the gap between red dot sights for close-range, rapid acquisition and high-power scopes for long-distance shooting, making it suitable for 3-gun competition. The description also includes links to the reviewer's social media channels and a promise of weekly video uploads.

This review of the Bushnell AR Optics 1-4x24mm PCL scope highlights its strong value proposition, especially for its First Focal Plane (FFP) reticle at a ~$200 price point. While offering a functional 1-4x magnification range and a useful BTR-1 reticle calibrated for 5.56/.223, the scope exhibits some drawbacks. These include mushy turrets with inaccurate tracking (closer to 0.15 Mil), a non-daylight-bright illumination, and noticeable light leakage from the objective lens at higher settings. Despite being heavier than advertised and competitors, its FFP capability makes it a compelling budget option for AR-15 platforms.

This video focuses on the Bushnell AK Optics Rifle Scope, specifically designed for the AK-47 chambered in 7.62x39mm. It highlights features such as an illuminated reticle with ballistic drop points up to 500 yards, eight brightness levels, and a durable one-piece 30mm aircraft aluminum tube for easy compatibility. The description also includes links to OpticsPlanet.com for purchasing the scope, other Bushnell rifle scopes, general firearm needs, and AR-15 accessories and guides.

This video features a discussion with a Bushnell representative about their new product offerings for 2019. The products covered include rifle scopes, spotting scopes, and binoculars, all highlighted for their excellent features and glass quality. The target audience for these optics is identified as both PRS competition shooters and hunters. The video also promotes TFBTV's monthly gun and gear giveaways to Patreon supporters.

Choosing a rifle scope requires prioritizing specific needs over marketing hype. Mid-priced scopes ($300-$600) offer the best value for serious hunters, balancing reliability with cost. Avoid bargain optics for critical situations. Key factors include shooting style, rifle caliber, realistic shooter ability, and appropriate magnification (1.5-5x or 3-9x is often ideal) with simple reticles like the Duplex.

This video compares two tactical GForce Arms L-Pax lever-action rifles. One build focuses on suppressed shooting with .38 Special subsonic rounds using a Rugged Obsidian 9 suppressor. The other is a more accessory-heavy build featuring a Bushnell red dot, Streamlight TLR-RM1 weapon light, and a side saddle for extra ammunition.

This review covers the EOTech EXPS red dot sight paired with the G33 magnifier, highlighting its effectiveness for rapid target acquisition. The speaker emphasizes proper mounting techniques to maintain zero and discusses reticle options, recommending a 200-yard zero for standard reticles. While praising the optic's performance and glass quality, the review notes significant drawbacks in weight and price, suggesting the Vortex magnifier as a more budget-friendly alternative.

This guide covers Low Power Variable Optics (LPVOs) for the AR-15, detailing magnification choices based on range and the importance of daylight bright illumination. It explains the differences between Second Focal Plane (SFP) and First Focal Plane (FFP) reticles, and discusses reticle types like Mil-radian and MOA. Proper scope mounting height, leveling techniques, and zeroing procedures using ballistic apps are also addressed, along with advanced techniques like occluded shooting.

This video humorously satirizes common shooter archetypes encountered in competitive shooting environments like USPSA/IPSC. It highlights characters such as the overly tactical 'Mr. Fight Like You Train,' the unprepared 'Mr. Couldn't Be Less Prepared,' and the excuse-laden 'Mr. It's Always Something.' The content offers relatable insights into range culture and the diverse personalities found among firearms enthusiasts.

The Primary Arms SLX 1X MicroPrism Gen 2 offers a compact, lightweight alternative to red dots with an etched reticle for clarity. Its ACSS Cyclops reticle is designed for speed and precision, featuring daylight-bright illumination. While it lacks ballistic drop compensation, limiting its effective range to under 300 yards, it can be paired with magnifiers for extended use.
