My review of the 3-12 X40 AR. I purchased the scope new from a local retailer 3 months ago and it sat in my safe in an unopened package untill 2 weeks ago when I finnally got the the 10/22 build completed. I took the scope out of the packaging had a look through it ( it was set on 3 power) I dialed it up to 12 power and noticed it was stiff to turn and has spots where it would become very hard to turn. I looked through the scope and tried to focus it and the side forcus did nothing to focus the scope at all. I dialed the scope back down to 3 power and I got it to focus so I tried to dial it back up on the power and it locked up on close to 9 power. So I went back to the retailer and was told I had to send it in to bushnell because it was more than 30 days from original purchase date. So I sent it in to the warranty centre. It arrived there on Thursday of last week ( I know this from Canada Post tracking service) I haven't heard a thing from the warranty centre yet. Now I know the reason why they package them in that placic package , the retailer won't let you open it so you have to buy it before you can really examine the scope. Needless to say I am not a satisfied customer. So now I sit here with custom 10/22 tack driver with no optics for it, and wouldn't you know it gopher season is in full swing.
