Overland  Park, Kan. – Bushnell,  an industry-leader in high performance sports optics for more than 60  years, has introduced two new 1-4x 24mm riflescopes in the AR  Optics line. Featuring true one-power magnification,  high-quality optics and target turrets, the AR Optics product line is  a high-quality, cost-effective optics solution.

Featuring  fully multi-coated optics, the AR Optics line provides exceptional  light transmission and image clarity. With an overall length just  over nine inches, the scope is a perfect fit on AR-style rifles.  Built from a durable, one-piece 30mm tube, the riflescope has plenty  of travel for extended-range elevation adjustments. In addition,  target turrets and a fast focus eyepiece allow shooters to make quick  adjustments in the field.

The first  riflescope in the line features the new Drop Zone 223  Reticle, a bullet-drop compensation (BDC) reticle with a 100-yard  zero and aiming points out to 500 yards. The reticle is calibrated  for .223/5.56mm ammunition with a bullet weight range of 55-62 grain.  The target turrets on this model have a ½ MOA click value.

The second  model is a first focal plane riflescope that features  the BTR-1 illuminated reticle and a throw down power change lever for  quick magnification adjustments. The BTR-1, calibrated for  .223/5.56mm ammunition, is an illuminated BDC reticle that functions  as a red dot at low power while offering aiming points to 600 yards  at full power. The target turrets on this model have .1 Mil click  values.

The  AR Optics 1-4x 24mm Riflescopes are available for estimated retail  prices of $199.99 and $299.99, respectively.
