Bushnell Trophy Mil Dot Scope Specification

The Bushnell Trophy Mil Dot Scope is designed for precision shooting and hunting, offering a blend of durability, clarity, and accuracy. It features a variable magnification range, typically from 3-9x, allowing for versatile targeting at multiple distances. The scope is constructed with a one-piece tube made from high-grade aluminum, ensuring robustness and resistance against harsh environmental conditions. It is nitrogen-purged and O-ring sealed, providing waterproof and fog-proof performance suitable for diverse weather scenarios.

The optics are fully multi-coated, enhancing light transmission and delivering bright, clear images even in low-light conditions. The Mil Dot reticle is designed to assist in range estimation and trajectory compensation, a critical feature for shooters needing precise accuracy over varied distances. It is positioned in the second focal plane, ensuring that the reticle size remains constant across the magnification range.

Adjustments are user-friendly, with fingertip turrets offering precise windage and elevation corrections, typically in 1/4 MOA increments, allowing for quick and accurate adjustments on the field. The eye relief is generous, providing comfort and safety during use, especially with high-recoil rifles. Parallax adjustments, if included, contribute to improved targeting accuracy over extended ranges.

The scope's external finish is matte, reducing glare and making it suitable for stealthy operations. Its compact and lightweight design ensures it complements a wide range of firearms without adding undue weight. Overall, the Bushnell Trophy Mil Dot Scope is engineered for hunters and marksmen who demand reliable performance and precision in a rugged, user-friendly package.

Bushnell Trophy Mil Dot Scope F.A.Q.

How do I zero my Bushnell Trophy Mil Dot Scope?

To zero your scope, mount it securely on your rifle. Use a bore sight to align the scope with the barrel, then fire a group of shots at your target. Adjust the windage and elevation turrets to bring the point of impact to the point of aim. Repeat this process until you achieve the desired accuracy.

What is the best way to clean and maintain my Bushnell Trophy Mil Dot Scope?

Use a soft, lint-free cloth to clean the lenses. For stubborn dirt, use a lens cleaning solution. Avoid using solvents on the scope body. Regularly check for any loose screws or parts, and ensure the scope mounts are secure. Store the scope in a cool, dry place when not in use.

How do I adjust the parallax on my Bushnell Trophy Mil Dot Scope?

Adjust the parallax by turning the side focus knob until the target image and the reticle are on the same focal plane. This ensures that there is no apparent movement of the reticle on the target when you move your head slightly.

What is the purpose of the Mil Dot reticle in this scope?

The Mil Dot reticle is used for range estimation and bullet drop compensation. By knowing the size of the target, you can use the Mil Dots to estimate the range to the target and make accurate adjustments for bullet trajectory.

How can I troubleshoot fogging issues with my scope?

Fogging can occur due to rapid temperature changes or moisture. Ensure that the scope’s seals are intact and that the nitrogen purging is effective. Store the scope with silica gel packs to absorb moisture and try to avoid sudden temperature transitions.

Why is my scope not holding zero?

If your scope is not holding zero, check for loose mounts or rings, and ensure all screws are tight. Inspect for damage to the scope tube and verify that the rifle’s barrel and action are secure. Re-zero the scope if necessary.

Can I use my Bushnell Trophy Mil Dot Scope at night?

The scope can be used at night with adequate artificial lighting or in conjunction with night vision equipment. However, it does not have built-in night vision capabilities, so it relies on external light sources for visibility.

How do I adjust windage and elevation on my scope?

To adjust windage and elevation, remove the turret caps and use the adjustment knobs. Turn the windage knob for left or right adjustments and the elevation knob for up or down adjustments. Each click typically corresponds to 1/4 MOA or another specified increment.

What should I do if my scope's image is blurry?

If the image is blurry, check the focus ring at the eyepiece and adjust it until the reticle and target image are clear. Also, ensure that the scope is set to the correct parallax for the target distance. Clean the lenses if needed.

How can I protect my scope from damage during transport?

Use a padded case or cover to protect the scope during transport. Ensure that the rifle and scope are securely fastened to prevent movement. Avoid exposing the scope to extreme temperatures and moisture during transport.
