Nice! I run 69 gr bthp match sierras in my AR varmit /coyote that i built. I ran varget for a couple thousand rounds then switched to AR-Comp when varget was as rare as hens teeth. I love it ! Meters better, groups as good ( like yours) cost less and easy to find 5# jugs. I put a Bushnell AR 3x9 on my oldest son's 16" PSA hybred upper I put together for him. I Liked it so much I bought the Bushnell AR 4.5x18 scope on my 24" bull AR. Nice little scope for the money.

Will have to look into AR-Comp. Read quite a few people have mentioned the powder.

How do you like the bushnell AR scope? I have a tricked out long range AR much like yours, and I am looking for a good, reliable, cheap scope for it. Awesome build and thank you for sharing!

Free... Not gonna complain...

LIKES
-Glass is good out to the intended hunting range I will use set up (400 yards)
-Crosshair is really fine.
-Spring's are consistent.

DIS-LIKES
-Really difficult to zoom in. Added throw lever it is course.
-As Tactical Scope, numbers don't line up horizontally or vertically. Since it was free I a just going to tape over and make my own 100 yard markings.
-BDC (Theoretically) work only when you are powered up to 12 zoom (Which is stupid). Again will make notes zoomed in at 4x or 5x power (which ever is clearer) and make notation of where BDC dots are at that zoom power.

But again it was free. So not gonna complain too much. I will use it for a season. Then step up to my typical snobby glass level.

Well Dang...I probably wont get one then. Back to the Vortex HST or PST scopes....
