Rifle Scopes Bushnell Forge Thoughts? (4.5-27) (FFP)

[slickalaus12]

I have searched threads here and there doesn't seem to be much on the Bushnell Forge.

Aside from the lack of adjustment, are people happy with the glass, tracking etc?

I currently own an Athlon Midas Tac 6-24x50 which I like . Anyone been behind both or something comparable?

We've got the Athlon Ares BTR Gen 2 2.5-15x50's on sale, reduced from $799.99 to only $549.99 which may be a great option for you

I have 2 TAC 6-24s and a Forge 3-18. To me the glass is in the same league. The Bushnell comes with more features and accessories. I have the Forge on a 6.5 Creed AR10 and it's been great so far. It has tracked dead on through 800 yards. But the big AR does bang it around a bit so the sunshade and turret locking screws like to come loose. I had to loctite them down.

appreciate the response. it's good to hear the forge is comparable to the midas tac. i'd be happy the forge performed similarly to my midas tac.

Bushnell sent me one of the Forge scopes when they first came out. Ran it through all the test and it's still on one of my 308's.
