I received a Bushnell Rim fire 3-12-40 for Christmas the other night and wrote up a short review yesterday about my first out of box impressions. Well upon removing from the box everything looked great until I mounted it. I noticed something odd when looking through it with proper eye relief and it appears to be glue smeared on the bottom portion of the inside. I saw another review stating the same issue but just brushed it off. I adjusted the eye piece, parallax and magnification and it didn't go away. I'm pretty disappointed to say the least.
The scope is very clear and the turrets and parallax seem to work pretty well. I will be returning this one and try another. If that one doesn't work out ill move onto something else. I stated Bushnell got me again because I was very reluctant to mess with them. I had a Banner that came with a rifle and it wouldn't hold zero and another banner dusk-dawn shotgun that blew up on a shotgun. I figured its been about 10yrs give them another try. The glass looks a lot better then previous scopes but the glue is the issue.
