Does anyone know is this scope better than the Bushnell Trophy XLT Mil-Dot Reticle Riflescope 3-9x40 or not??

Honestly Andrew, I have not tried the Trophy XLT, but I can tell you this. The Banner will give you a better, up close and personal, view due to the power of the optics. I currently have 4 of these scopes mounted, and love them! Im a deer and varmint hunter, and they perform very well in rugged field use! I think you will definitely enjoy the Banner!!

I don't have information on the Redfield scope you're asking about, but I've been very pleased with the Bushnell. You can clearly read a license plate at 200+ yards. The soft-side case is great for taking it out in the field. Again, it is what it is - a lot of bang for the buck. You can spend hundreds more, but why. Hope this helps.

I would say it is pretty close in terms of resolution and chromatic aberration. Maybe just a small difference between it and my Nightforce NXS 5.5-22X50 scopes. It seems to be built as well but you give up an illuminated reticle and zero stop but you are spending only half as much. I got mine from Amazon vendor LG Outdoors for just over $1200. At that price and the overall quality you can't go wrong. It is a little bit more difficult to find 34mm rings for the Bushnell than 30mm rings for the Nightforce.

I would think so, I mounted a bushnell scope with illuminated reptile on it, 3x9x40 objective and it fits perfect. Just the right clearance, mount is very good quality. Very strong mount, good fit and finish.

Not that I can find with a quick googling. Of course, I cannot find such specific conditions of review for others either. 9x32 is a pretty rare power. Clarity is not too specific, but I assume you could break it into contrast and sharpness, both pretty good for the money here. If you are seriously into scouting game you probably want something a bit better, though. Zen-Ray 8x42, Vortex Solo 8x36 , something like that. The main issue with this is the tight focuser ring. Contrast is very good, sharpness good. (better than the BG binoculars). I'd back off to 7x or 8x for scouting and spend a bit more.

I would recommend this scope. I use it on a .308 and it holds under a 1 inch group at 100. I've also shot out past 400 and had equally accurate results. The reticle is very crisp and the magnification covers a good range.

Depends on the package you get. One has a red dot, one has a 4x scope with drop lines. I personally own the 4x scope and I'm very pleased.

Tasco and Bushnell are about the same quality-wise. Both are decent for the price. Since you're scoping a 91/30, I would go with the Bushnell Mil-dot since that will give you a way to place long shots more accurately.

First I'll just let you know that the scope I received is clear up to about 100 yards. Even then it's hard to see the mil-dot, and it's hard to find the impact point. Overall i'm not impressed with the scope, especially when my father in laws cheaper scope with a power of 6x12x40 is better. Trust me I don't like the fact I bought this scope, after really going out and shooting with it

frankly i am very impressed with the vortec crossfire 11 1-4x24mm. very good quality compared scopes costing hundreds of dollars more.try this scope, you will like it, i did.

I bought one for my AR. Then i returned it, because it a long and bulkey scope. Never mounted it. It was to big for only being a 2-7x32 scope. The eye relief was terrible just looking through it. I went with the bushnell p223. Its only 3x, but it was design for the AR. There more money, but worth it. You can get them at wally world. I dont think i can say there real name on here. I hope this helps.

I really like the scope, but like several others that I have had, night vision is not equal to a daylight glass scope in magnification. If you need 4x then get the 5x. We are using them on crossbows and the 4x works just fine

I have their 3x9x40 on my Marlin 30-30 and i have not had any issues with it love it in fact. If you just want the scope then fine, but if you want to use a see through mount and still have the ability to use your iron sights I would suggest going with the 40mm instead of the 50mm. i run the 40 with the truglo back up sights and it is perfect for Michigan deer. sights are bright in low light. I have the sights dialed in at 50 yards and the scope dialed in at 100 so close in I can use my sights for quick shots and the scope is set for long range. links to the sights and the scope mount, I would get them all and it is a really easy install you can do it yourself in about 10 min http://www.amazon.com/TruGlo-Firesight-Fiber-Marlin-Golden/dp/B0028M96GW/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1418324438&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=marlin+tru+glo http://www.amazon.com/Kwik-Site-KS-336-Marlin-Rifle-Ring/dp/B000N8LCO2/ref=sr_1_6?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1418324800&sr=1-6&keywords=marlin+336+scope+mounts

http://www.amazon.com/Leapers-Golden-Integral-Weaver-SCP-RD40RGW/dp/B001BQZSZ4/ref=pd_sim_sg_22. This good for the price or you can go with the scope I am going to buy next for my AR15 bush master.Aim Sports 4X32 Dual III. Scope with Fiber Optic Sight by AIM Sports. I hope this helps,

My wife owns an 18x50IS and a 10x42LIS. I own a 15x50IS. Never any issues. Have never dropped them. Knock on wood. We use lithium primaries only. The spotting scope gathers dust since we bought the 15 and 18 power binoculars. The 10's are MUCH brighter (4.2 exit pupil) and have a good field of view. The image stabilization is really worth it.

I have one just like this on a M700 SPS .308. It is an amazing scope for the money. Holds zero real well. I would buy the base SWFA or millet recommends for it. You will NOT regret buying this, I own 3

It is a great sight, I did not have to do anything to it except place it on my rifle and start shooting. It is perfectly "sighted in" from factory up to 150 yards. It is tough as nails and the dot is super bright even under extreme conditions. I have noticed that others have had issues with the sight if they are accustomed to shooting with one eye shut versus both eyes open. Having said all of this, and my two cents worth, the Pro Patrol would be overkill for your blow-back system; a bushnell trophy would work just as good and cost hundreds of dollars less. This sight is designed and built for more demanding platforms. Take care. It is a great sight, I did not have to do anything to it except place it on my rifle and start shooting.
