I'm considering buying a Bushnell Forge 4-16X 50mm SFP with 34mm tube and an illuminated dot. The MAIN reason I am thinking about it is the reticle. The Bushnell Outlet guy said the reticle is a German creation. The dot operates easily, some do not. I'm becoming increasingly sold on dot scopes. My eye seems to follow the dot better than a cross-hair. The thought of buying a "Made in China" scope is hard to bear, but I really like that reticle....at least that part is German. Do any of you out there have this scope and what can you tell me about it.......good, bad, and in-between. Thanks for your help.
