New Bushnell Scope Has BDC Reticle Calibrated for .22 LR Ammo
Here’s a new scope that may be well-suited for short-range varmint hunting (for smaller critters) and for rimfire tactical matches. Bushnell has released a new, affordable 2-7x32mm variable rifle scope with a Bullet Drop Compensating (BDC) reticle configured for the .22 LR rimfire cartridge. Anyone who has shot the .22 LR past 50 yards knows that this round drops a lot in a short distance. The “Drop Zone” BDC reticle, with multiple aiming points out to 125 yards, helps you stay on target. The reticle is calibrated for 38-40 grain, .22 LR high-velocity loads, with a 50-yard zero. This new scope, part of Bushnell’s AR line of scopes, features a 1″ main tube, target-style turrets, and side-focus parallax adjustment. MSRP is $149.99, but web vendors have lower prices. Amazon.com sells the scope for $131.23 with free shipping for Prime Members.

wonder what the aussie price will be? would love one of these. if any one knows of availability in aus please reply
This would have been nice to see against the Nikon P-223 3-9 I just bought for my .22 savage.
I like the idea of a .22LR scope with a BDC reticle, but don’t see the point in making it a variable if it’s not FFP, and don’t see the point of target turrets when the reticle is there to do the drop compensating (and when cheap scopes are not known for tracking well). I’d also ask what magnification the is reticle calibrated for, and if there is a detent on the zoom ring to indicate this. The only benefit of the SFP configuration I can see here is that you can “tune” the magnification setting to the MV of your load and mark up the zoom ring accordingly.
I wanted a FFP version so I went with the Pride Fowler scope. I had an older version of their 3x-9x for 22lr and it’s been great but I always wanted a little more magnification. I should have this one mounted for testing this weekend.
