Bushnell Elite Tactical Scopes Are Professional Grade

Bushnell Elite Tactical Scopes

Bushnell Outdoor Products

Overland Park, KS -(Ammoland.com)- The new Bushnell Elite Tactical series scopes are built to withstand the rigors of the field, whether in military and law enforcement situations, three gun competition or countless rounds at the range. The Elite Tactical series features the best Bushnell has to offer – optical excellence, precision engineering and rock-solid reliability.

With fully multi-coated optics and the new anti-reflective Ultra Wide Band (UWB) Coating, Elite Tactical riflescopes deliver light transmission across more of the visible light spectrum than before. What that means for shooters is enhanced clarity, exceptional brightness and true color from dawn to dusk.

The 100 percent waterproof, fog proof and shock proof Elite Tactical series is now more reliable than ever, thanks to the newly introduced Argon-purging process. Argon provides added resistance against corrosion, longer seal life and reduced chances of fogging. Another benefit of Argon is that it conducts heat at a slower rate, drastically reducing thermal conduction within the scope to provide long-lasting performance.

Bushnell takes all-weather performance a step further with its patented RainGuard® HD lens coating. The permanent, water-resistant finishes causes moisture from rain, snow, sleet and condensation to bead up and scatter less light, giving shooters a clear view when weather conditions become a challenge.

Elite Tactical scope tubes are hammer-forged from high-quality, rugged T6061 aluminum. The scopes feature target turrets for rapid adjustment to range and windage.

The Elite Tactical Series product line includes seven riflescopes, including one fixed 10x magnification scope and two first focal plane riflescopes with illuminated reticles and .1 Mil adjustments. Backed by the Elite Bullet-Proof Warranty – a no questions asked one-year replacement warranty – the Elite Tactical series is one of the finest lines of riflescopes on the market.
