Last weekend I took my AR out for some shooting. No probs with the scope. Then I bump fired a mag from the hip. Today I take it out and the scope is all fuzzy. I mess with it (read bang on it) a little and it clears up, then goes fuzzy, then kind of does this half fuzzy, half clear thing. Now it just kinda goes in and out. Very weird. Just a typical Bushnell 1-4x 30mm scope, nothing fancy. Anyone knows why this happened or if it can be fixed? Think that bump fire killed it?

Sounds like an internal lens is moving around.

I'd say yes, cheaper scopes don't react well to the stresses you probably put on it.

He was really talking about cheap scopes.

Well I finally just took the damn thing apart - it is cheap, after all. A little lens on the inside had come loose and was shifting around. The set screw that holds it in place is impossible to tighten from inside the scope. Dammit! I liked that scope. Anyway could I get it fixed or is it even worth it?

Until you took it apart, they probably would have covered it under warrenty... I thnk now you are on your own. BSW

I'm not too worried about warranty. It's a cheap scope and besides, it's fun to take shit apart!

AINT THERE GAS IN SOME SCOPES

Bushnel makes GREAT SCOPES

I sent mine in to get coated and they lost it

They sent me alot better scope than I had to start with

Send it to them cross your Fingers

Keep proof of sending scope incase it gets lost like mine DID



Back in the 80`s I bought a SIMMONS 3x9x40  CheapY

I put it on my 222rem Bolt Action wich is almost like a 223rem but has a longer neck

with the scope/Rifle I could shoot 1/4  inch Groups at 100 yards


So you dont have to spend 600 bucks for a ACCURATE scope
