Bushnell Forge 1-8x30. Any one had a chance to handle one. Sounds to me as it might be a beast. 34mm tube with 30 mm objective.

China or Korea.
Bushnell's page for this optic says South Korea.
pretty limited reticle, though I do like the German 4A.
Depends what you want to do with it.

Sorta of reminds me of the older vortex razor LH....German #4 with some very limited demarcations one could use for hold overs...
Certainly looks like it could be useful.

I'm putting my Nightforce on my Grendel. The AR 15 that the Nightforce was on i'm just going to use for snap shooting.
These are originally EURO market scopes, @Team RCBS & Bushnell made a post about them.
I'm interested in the 2-16 just have to get over the reticle

I have not used the 1-8×30, but the Forge 4.5-27×50 has performed excellent so far...
Right with Vortex PST 2 optics, which I like also.
They're nicer to me than the dmr2, non pro version.
I tested the clarity at 100yds
Im interested in this scope so im bumpin it up. Going on an AR for coyote hunting.
I grabbed one of these on impulse; everything about it is solid, I just regret the reticle.
Whats wrong with the reticle? I can't find a spec sheet? Do you know about how thick the center is? Did you happen to weigh it? Bushnell says 25 but pretty sure i found an article that said it was was 22 oz and the one of the higher mag models was 25. Does it really have the massive eyebox they claim?
I haven't shot it yet, but the reticle is a plain German 4 more or less. Basic and works great for standard hunting
The reticle is a little on the thick size, but I find it to be more than adequate for long range shooting.
I'm (still) considering buying one for my 300 Ham'r AR15. I just got it, it's a beast of a caliber for an AR15!! Intended use is for hunting....probably no more than 300-400 yards. My only drawback is the reticle, need more info on it. Bushnell's website says the parallax is fixed at 100 yards. I assume the answer is no (using 1x power), but is it difficult to focus on anything < 100 yards?
