Buy recommendations Bushnell 1-6x24 R5
Hi all,
Wanted to hear the community's thoughts on this scope. I was planning to get a red dot for the makasi but thought this might be a better option.
My usage will mainly be target shooting at an indoor range.

The Burris RT6 is worth looking into. Love mine. Likely getting another for my Homesteader

If you’re only shooting at an indoor range, an LPVO will certainly be overkill. I’d recommend a red dot like a Holosun 403, Sig Romeo 5 or a Vortex Triumph. If you have an astigmatism like I do, I’d suggest an Eotech XPS2 which is a holographic, or a Primary Arms 1x MicroPrism

I have the PA x1 micro. It's exceptional.
Have you tried a holosun HE510C? I've heard great reviews about the reticle in green working well for fellow stiggers.

Yea I agree probably overkill. I was thinking maybe one day I'll graduate to an outdoor range with longer lanes.

Over kill maybe but it's kinda nice to be able to zoom in and see your holes. I used to shoot a 22lr rifle with a 3-9 at an indoor range, I could really see the holes!

The arken LPVO is surprisingly good bang for buck. Great optic quality for less than $500.

i never liked the KLBOX reticle they have. they JUST released a new one called the KLGRID though and im a fan, might have to get one once they're available.

The new grid is definitely nicer. However, I find the box plenty easy to use as I'm familiarwith MOA. Honestly, i don't have to use it much. Center reticle is sufficient thanks to FFP.

i have one on a .44, its fine if you can find one for $250 still. though i keep killing batteries on it. overkill for an indoor range though. i also have a crossfire HD 1-4x and i prefer the reticle on the bushnell. i probably woundnt pay the $340 or whatever they mainly go for now though

I was comparing to vortex 1-4, Alex's homebrew, etc. Bushnell seems like a good price compared to competitors.

u/Iokua_CDN Jul 29 '26
Just a heads up, the Vortex crossfire and the Alex homebrew are the same base scope! Alex gets his from the same maker, but he gets it with some additions. So it'd either normal vortex and lifetime warranty, or upgrades Homebrew but more limited warranty
Bushnell is good too. A bit more zoom, if you can get it similar priced, then definitely go for it!

Al Flaherty's has a Bushnell sale on at the moment if you decide to go this route (it started a week ago, so I don't know how much longer it'll last).
edit removing the link because reddit apparently thinks telling people where to buy a scope is practically crime.

As a fell canuck; I'd be looking at either the Vortex Crossfire HD 1-4x24 or the Vortex Venom 1-6 combos that are on the market.
Bushnell as a whole is in a weird place right now as they were bought out earlier this year. If you need any product support in near future it may prove to be a headache.

More fisheye at 1x than my PA SLx Nova. Vortex Venom 1-6 is likely a better buy.
