Burris AR-PEPR and Bushnell AR Optics 3-9X

[Don'tkillbill]

I just put this together and it seems to work really nice. About 200 down range and its solid. Next week I will take it out to 200 and 300 yards.

Here's a picture and link to the video I just made on the combo. Its a good budget combo or I hope it is.

Got a similar setup but with the 4.5-18x40 version. Solid performers on a tighter budget indeed.

I like your Youtube channel. Enjoyable vids.

 

[Don'tkillbill]

Thanks. I was looking at the 4-18 but I went cheapo. The extra magnification must be a bonus.

Very good review

At my age I take all the magnification I can get

One of the pros of the Burris PEPR (and Vortex cantilever mounts) is that it allows you to use a front mounted brass catcher like the 3BUCC. Not so much on my ADM Recon mounts.

LOL, I resemble that remark.

And the pepr gives you the upper picitanny ring option for dots, etc. out of the box. I realized that the split ring design on stuff like the ADM made this impossible. What a disappointment--but it never occurred to me prior.

Nice - I have the 2 - 7 on a dedicated 22RF upper and the 1 - 4 on my .223 upper. I like the AR optics, for the price they are great. I understand that you can spend a lot more money for a the last 10% of optics performance but hey, I like them!! If a scope at 6 - 7 x the cost is your thing go for it but for me these are good - bright and clear (I have the 30mm scopes) and play well on my uppers.

I have the 30mm PEPR with rails, I maybe interested in a trade if you have something comparable.

The only PEPR I have has worked well. However, I did lap it first, and was glad I did before installing scope, had to take down quite a bit of material before I was satisfied it wouldn't scew up an expensive optic and hold a heavy scope securely. It's seen many rounds down range since, with no issues.

 

[Don'tkillbill]

I put 500 rounds down range since I got it and its holding nice. The scope is OK and great for the price but it suffers a bit at 500 I should of got the 4-18x for 500-600 yards but it still hits home and does its job.

I have a similar setup : PEPR + Bushnell 3200 10X40

Cant wait to try it out at the end of the month

Exactly what I'm running.

I bought the 4.5-18x40mm my self as well. I havnt tried it out yet, put it on my norc m14. Yes I know it's a .223 BDC but I don't really care, I wanted a scope with target turrets, and that's really all I could afford

How is it working for you ?

What is your rifle setup if you dont mind me asking ?

Hope I'm not hijacking. I have a CMMG upper with 24" barrel, free-floated handguard and a bipod. I'm running the same scope (Bushnell 3200 10X40) on five different rifles. Sturdy, clear and inexpensive - good from 100-600 yds.
