I was looking for a 30mm scope with good light-gathering qualities in a reasonably compact package, so I ordered this from Optics Planet. If figured the illuminated reticle option would be useful in poorer light. This is going on a Bear Creek upper with 18-inch barrel and right-hand charger. Met a guy at our club range shooting this style upper in .458 SOCOM, which I have experience with. That led me to try the Bushmaster for the first time.
Looking forward to testing 225-grain FTX handloads over 296.
My goal is to have a reliable, feral hog-worthy rig on hand just in case the skies part and someone invites me to hunt the critters here in west-central Texas.
