Re: Bushnell Excursion Problem
This has happened before. I'll see if I can find the thread. I bought the one with the rangeing reticle and it was good to go but others had problems.

Re: Bushnell Excursion Problem
I have been rangeing with mine and its on the money. I'm really happy with it for the money. That being said mine was a good one.
I think if they will make it right and you can get a good one you'll like the scope.

Not sure how the law works in the US, but wouldn't the Retailer be oblidged to provide a replacement or refund? I put the question mark there as I notice alot of guys make reference to sending the scope back to Bushnell them selves...

Re: Bushnell Excursion Problem
On his blog, Scott (Liberty Optics) mentioned that he wouldn't carry any of these any longer (about a year ago or so) because some units actually showed up with water in them...not just condensation but a very noticeable amount.
I test-drove one of these through SWFA and thought it was pretty decent, esp. for the price, and that unit was just fine. But seeing something like this after reading what Scott had to say just makes it more apparent there is a major design/manufacturing defect.

Re: Bushnell Excursion Problem
So the questions are:
Where did you get it?
How long was that particular scope in their inventory?
As the problems with these spotting scopes have supposedly been recently resolved, could it be that you got one from an older inventory when the bad units were still being manufactured, or is this really one of current manufacture?

Re: Bushnell Excursion Problem
It was new inventory,just in from Bushnell after a eight week back order.Bear Basin Outfitters was the retailer.Two hours after it was delivered to my home,Bear Basin had shipped a new one and scheduled a UPS driver to pick up the defective model today for return.Bushnell had also made contact with me to schedule return/replacement.Excellent customer service from Randy @ Bear Basin as well as Bushnell.

Re: Bushnell Excursion Problem
Damn. I <span style="font-style: italic">almost</span> regretted spending what I did on my Kowa 664 when I heard that Bushnell was "fixing" the issues with these. But, it appears to be more of the same.
It certainly does sound like they're nice when you get a good one. Good luck with it, hope your next one is good to go.
