The AR Optics riflescope series from the American manufacturer Bushnell was designed for use on AR-15 modern sporting rifles. The variable 1-6x magnification is an excellent choice for tactical shooting with fast target acquisition at short to medium distances. You can easily adjust the magnification power using the practical folding throw lever. Shooters with large fingers will appreciate the option to replace the existing lever with a longer version, which is also included in the package.
The 30 mm tube is nitrogen-filled, so you do not have to worry about lens fogging. The riflescope meets the IPX7 standard and therefore withstands immersion in 1 metre of water for 30 minutes. The lenses feature multi-layer coatings for maximum light transmission and the brightest possible image.
Capped turrets are protected by covers that must be unscrewed before making adjustments. The clicks are very tactile and the value of one click is 1/10 MRAD. On the left turret you can choose one of six reticle illumination levels. The parallax is fixed at 100 yards (91.4 m).
The BTR-1 reticle is graduated out to 500 yards (457 m) for standard .223 Remington/5.56x45 mm NATO (55–62 gr FMJ) ammunition and enables rapid target engagement. The reticle is etched directly into the lens glass and is illuminated in red.
