Overview
A hunting rifle scope with Bushnell's DOA Quick Ballistic Reticle, giving six aiming points calibrated to the Bushnell Ballistic app plus wind-hold lines for a 5 mph crosswind.
This is positioned as a budget upgrade over the original Banner, with multi-coated glass for dusk-and-dawn contrast rather than top-tier optics, and it ships with weaver-style aluminum rings included. Reviewers running it across .22, .357 and 30-30 rifles report it holding zero across different calibers and recoil levels.
- DOA Quick Ballistic Reticle with 6 aiming points
- Multi-coated glass tuned for dusk and dawn low light
- IPX7 waterproof aluminum one-piece body
- Weaver-style aluminum rings included in the box
Who it's for
Fits hunters wanting a low-light capable, ballistic-reticle scope at a budget price with rings included in the box. Less suited to anyone needing mounting hardware rated for hard-recoiling calibers, since one reviewer had a mounting bolt snap.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers repeatedly call this scope's glass and value strong for the price, with several noting easy sight-in and reliable zero retention across rifles from .22 to 30-30 and .300 AAC. One reviewer flagged the included rings, reporting a bolt snapped even when torqued to spec, and recommended budgeting for aftermarket rings as a backup.
