I bought this scope in 1999 and put it on my model 700 BDL 25-06. I consistently get 1/2" groups year after year. The light gathering capabilities of this scope are comparable with scopes costing much more. Many whitetail have fallen because of this scope and my trusty Remington. I would prefer easier to get to sight adjustments though. Good hunting!

I will start by saying that this is the third Banner line scope I have owned, and my 9th Bushnell scope. I have had excellent luck with their products, and this scope is a great example of why I will continue to use Bushnell optics. For the money, the Banner line offers good glass and coatings. I like them as much as many of my more expensive scopes. This model impresses me even more than the 6-24x40 Banner that I have on my Savage mk2 btv. The 6-24 is great, but at the higher powers in low light, the image becomes somewhat dim and eye position is very crucial. That doesn't matter much on a bright day at the range, so it is fine for that rifle, but this 6-18x50 model is so much brighter at all magnification levels, and is much less picky about eye positioning at 18x. The image quality is very good, the coatings are good at controlling flare, and the magnification and parallax rings both turn smoothly enough. Everything about this scope seems too good to be true at this price...Read more

The Zoom range is very nice 6x gives you plenty of field of view. At 18X you don't need a spotting scope with you and you can really zoom in on your target area for some precision shooting.
I have it mount on a varmint AR-15 with a 24" barrel. I was able to produce some crazy small groups with this setup.
Shooting .223/5.56mm did not throw it off zero or rattle anything loose.
I added some butler creek flip up lens covers:
Butler Creek Flip-Up Rifle Scope Lens Cover #17 Eyepiece (Rear)
Butler Creek Flip-Up Rifle Scope Lens Cover #47 Objective (Front)
I used xx-high weaver tactical rings.
I highly reccomend this product.
