It's not me but I watched it 2-3 times before I decided what to go with. The guy in the video seems professional and very knowledgeable though.
A couple of other things that I have found that make this a neat and effective optic is when you are on 4X the inside ring of the horse shoe covers exactly 18" down range. The second drop compensator... the length of that covers (side to side) 18" at 200 yards. After that I ran out of yard so I couldn't test any further. But I have the ranges marked off and I used an 18" wide target to confirm. VERY good for range finding and quick acquisition. It's pretty much a 3 gun type of optic.
On 1x it's a red dot and I can shoot with both eyes open..... plus I really like the first focal plane thing.
On 4x I can consistently get 1" groups at 100 yards. For 100-200 yards this is a good choice. It is calibrated for use of 55-62 grain ammo. Anything heavier and you might have to alter aim points if you are going way out to several hundred yards or more. But it won't be that far off.
The downside like I said though is the turrets are not rock solid. They have a little bit of play to them. Keeping them secure has been something I wonder about.
I can give further tips to make it easier to site in this particular optic if you want....

I spent all my money on my rifle and I kind of planned on... once I build up the wallet again on getting a better optic... I still might do that... but thus far the Bushnell has been great... I have had very few...almost no issues with this optic so far.
I will say this though... it all depends on what you want to accomplish. What are your (shooting) goals? If you are trying to stack shots and be super precise out 100 yards and beyond... there are better options...
BUT if you want an all around tactical type optic and you're ok getting "lead on the target" or are shooting steel or whatever... then this is fine.Last edited by alamo5000; 21 December 2014 at 11:48.

Great info. Thanks for the tips on measurements at distance.
200 yards is going to be the max for me. It's pretty much going to be a "do-all" optic for 0-200 yards with the majority of shooting to be under 100.
First focal plane with a big selling point for me.
If you have any more tips I'll be glad to hear them. Just ordered one.Ground Defense 1, Blade Defense 1, Defensive Pistol 1 & 2, Aliance Shoot House, When Things Go Bad, YSINTG, Carbine 1, DART Medical, NRA Range Safety Officer

From reading, the mount will be 1.5".
It's going on a BCM upper w/Daniel Defence 14.5" barrel and BCM BCG, BCM H buffer.

I'm still in the same dilemma. I was hoping the new SWFA 1-4x had cap turrets but it doesn't but I also found a great deal on the PA 1-6x w/ ADM mount.

I'm really digging the previously mentioned Bushnell 1-4.

For the price, the Aero mounts are hard to beat. Light, solid, great lock on the upper. Let's be honest, how many times do you see yourself in a situation your gonna have to dump the scope off your gun in a hurry?

That's what made me decide on the AP mount for my PRO. I never used the QD anyway, and it just seemed like an easy way to shed a little weight.
