Compromised Quality
I received this scope as a warranty replacement for my Bausch and Lomb made Bushnell 3-9 x 56 scope I had used for over a decade before the reticle inside came loose. I sent a letter to Bushnell along with the old scope explaining how much I liked the light-gathering qualities of the 56mm objective. I could see deer moving in very low light conditions with one eye through that scope better than with high quality binoculars using BOTH eyes. It was a well-made piece of optical equipment. I guess I should be thankful Bushnell sent me this scope as a warranty replacement. Yes, it is as close as they could get while staying within the Banner line. However, this scope in NO WAY is even close to the quality I was used to with the old Bushnell scope. Low light conditions are a wash. This scope is good only for light conditions in which you can see everything with the naked eye. DUSK TO DAWN description is sadly only sales hype. It should read - after dawn UNTIL dusk.... More
