blue109 Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 Bushnell elite 1-6.5. $499. Cheapest I can find it is just under a grand. Even Amazon has it around $1100. http://www.natchezss.com/bushnell-elite-tactical-rifle-scope-1-6-5x24mm-1-10-mil-adjustments-second-focal-illuminated-btr-1-sfp-reticle-matte.html?src=ppj&utm_source=pj&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=62182 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 When Natchez blows something out, you have to nail it then - it never comes back at that price again. Several years ago, I snatched up a Burris AR Tripler red dot magnifier for $60. Never seen it again for anywhere close to that, NIB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue109 Posted July 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 I got that burris deal too, and then I used it as trade for my swfa 3-9. They gave me $100 trade value lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtallen83 Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 I had to pull the trigger, I'd been planning on that exact scope for some time it just wasn't at the top of the list yet....looks like the carts at Brownells and Primary Arms will have to sit in the aisle a bit longer now. Where did you get that link? When I went to use a link from another site they had the price at $699.99 but it is the same thing? ?????; http://www.natchezss.com/bushnell-elite-tactical-rifle-scope-1-6-5x24mm-1-10-mil-adjustments-second-focal-illuminated-btr-1-sfp-reticle-matte.html Needless to say I used the link you provided Blue! They do have the FFP model listed as well; http://www.natchezss.com/bushnell-elite-riflescope-6-24x50mm-ffp-illum-mil-dot-reticle-matte.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue109 Posted July 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 Was poking around, and both 1st and 2nd focal plane scopes are available for the price. For some reason the SFP one is showing as $699 but it drops in the cart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue109 Posted July 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 SFP out of stock...FFP still kickin. The deal Was posted on slickguns, but only the SFP link. People probably don't realize both are on sale. Once word gets out they will probably disappear. I jumped on this matrix deal just to build a cheap carbine, and it's turning into a pretty expensive build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 it looks like there's a DFP version coming out. That's why the FFP and SFP are getting unloaded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtallen83 Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 Got the scope today, lapped rings most of the night.........I'm moving the BTR-2 model to my P716 and putting this one, BTR-1, on the M15TBN. I had all the mounts I needed to do this but had never lapped any of them....it sucks so I hope it's worth it! Surprised me the cheap Primary Arms mount was way closer than the Armalite was.

Did you have to go to a 34mm scope after lapping the rings all night <laughs> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtallen83 Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 Did you have to go to a 34mm scope after lapping the rings all night <laughs> That was part of my problem, I didn't want to go to far so I would stop and clean them up so I could look close, that is some sticky crap Wheeler sends with the kit! I think I might just use some of the Clover compound I got years ago from Brownells, it cleans up much easier! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue109 Posted July 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 Lapping? Little dab o jbweld always works for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue109 Posted July 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 Got mine. Turrets do seem a little delicate. I'll be leaving those caps on. Super nice otherwise. Glad I didn't buy rings yet because I was off pretty bad on my guesses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use the Aluminum oxide from brownells , I get it in the twin pak of 600 & 800 , wash off with soap & water & light oil parts or components afterwards, if needed . You can reconstitute with water if it gets too thick on you . Will not impregnate into metal . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
