    $399 on Midway for FFP and $349 for SFP.

    Seems to be a clearance sale for this model. I think they are moving away from the 2.5x in favor of 3x and up.

    Thoughts on the forge line, specifically this 2.5x-15x50?

    I know Bushnell customer service is known to be bad, but my understanding is they upped their warranty to compete with the competition.

    This seems like a damn good optic for the price.

    FFP, locking turrets, zero stop, ELD glass, side paralax adjustment, good magnification range, butler creek caps included. Reviews show excellent tracking and clarity.

    Anyone messed with anything in the Forge line?

    Forge stuff no. But most of my glass is Bushnell. I’ve had two bad scopes and a red dot I dropped and stopped working. They’ve replaced all of it. My only complaint is I send it in and it disappears for a couple of months and then a box with a replacement shows up. Only once has their warranty tracking system actually shown it’s progress.

    Thanks. I am thinking it might be worth the risk at this price point. Really tough to find anything with those feature sets for anything close to that price.
