2008 Optics Roundup

Bushnell Elite 6500 2.5-16x

Bushnell
The Elite series riflescopes have long been an exceptional value, offering a level of performance that is way out of proportion to the price tag. Bushnell raised the stakes this year with the new Elite 6500 series riflescope. The one-piece, 30mm tube has an extended 80-MOA adjustment range with easy-to-use push-pull turrets. The 6.5 times magnification range makes the scopes extremely versatile. Two versions--2.5-16X 50mm and 4.5-30X 50mm--are available with two different reticle options, Bushnell's new ultrafine Multi-X or the tried-and-true mil-dot. The 6500 series scopes' glass is fully multicoated and wears Rainguard, a hydrophobic coating that prevents fogging and allows a clear view in the pouring rain.

CenterPoint
The new Power Class 1TL series from CenterPoint Precision Optics will offer two scopes, a 3-9X 42mm and a 1.5-6X 44mm. Both scopes have 30mm, one-piece bodies that are sealed and nitrogen filled to make them waterproof, fog proof, and shockproof. All lens surfaces are fully multicoated with CenterPoint's Pure Advantage solution for up to 95 percent light transmission. The new Power Class 1TL has One Touch Lightning technology that offers quick, easy adjustments. The floating duplex reticle can be illuminated in green or red with a push of a button, and the intensity can be adjusted without moving from the shooting position.

DureSight Z2 Intergral Mount System

DuraSight
DuraSight's new Z2-alloy integral ring/base design is the ultimate in terms of strength and ease of installation. The base and the lower ring are a one-piece unit that is formed in a mold with Z2, an alloy that is 50 percent stronger than aluminum.

GG&G
The new GG&G mount for Aimpoint's T-1 Micro sight provides a solid mounting solution that provides for the use of high-end, flip-up lens covers. The mount also maintains the precise height necessary to co-witness the scope's red dot with the front-sight post of the standard AR-style rifle's iron sights. The lightweight mount utilizes the Accucam QD mount and attaches with four 3mm screws.

The new B-COMP 30mm ring system provides a lightweight scope ring that includes a removable and ambidextrous mounting platform for mini red-dot sights like the JPoint, Docter Sight, and Trijicon RedDot. Mounted at 45 degrees to the elevation turret, the platform allows the red dot to be positioned in such a way that the shooter needs only to slightly roll the rifle to acquire a close-range target. The system also includes a removable, watertight battery compartment. All components are manufactured from 6061-T6 aluminum alloy and are Type IIII hard-anodized matte black as per military specification.
