Bushnell expands AR Optics lineup with scopes, red dots

Bushnell adds to its line of AR Optics, designed for Modern Sporting Rifles, introducing scopes tailored for popular and prevalent calibers.

The AR Optics series now encompass .22 LR, .223/5.56, .308 Win, .300 BLK, 6.5 Creedmoor and .224 Valkyrie scope offerings. The scopes offer fully multi-coated optics and custom BDC reticles built for precise elevation holds. The scopes, totaling 11 models, are available from 1-4x24mm to 4.5-18x40mm with eight various reticles.

“Each scope has a throw-down power-change lever that can be set to two different heights,” Bushnell Tactical product manager Bryan Parrish said in a press release. “It makes these scopes as customizable as the rifles they share a name with.”

In addition to providing more specific caliber scope options, Bushnell adds the TRS-26 and First Strike red dots to its inventory. The newer TRS-26 offers a longer battery life and brighter 3 MOA dot with 26mm tube body.

The First Strike 2.0 also boasts a longer battery life but is housed in a small reflex-style rugged housing with a 4 MOA red dot.

“The First Strike 2.0 is two times the red dot its older brother was,” Parrish commented. “It also features longer battery life, a brighter dot and tool-less side compartment battery removal.”

Both red dots are waterproof and shock-proof with adjustable brightness settings.

Bushnell’s new AR Optics scope line starts at $220 with prices topping out at $434. The TRS-26 and First Strike 2.0 are priced at $194 and $277.
