Bushnell AR Optics 1-6x24

• 1-6x LPVO range: True low magnification supports fast, both-eyes-open shooting at short distance, while 6x gives enough reach for more precise holds on smaller or more distant targets.
• Illuminated BTR-1 reticle: The red illuminated aiming point stands out better against dark targets and shaded backgrounds, helping speed up target acquisition when light is poor or the scene is busy.
• 30 mm main tube with capped turrets: The 30 mm tube provides a practical adjustment range, while capped turrets protect settings from accidental movement during transport, training, or field use.
• Fully multicoated optics: Fully multicoated lenses improve contrast and image brightness, making it easier to pick up targets quickly and maintain a clearer sight picture across changing light conditions.
• IPX7 waterproof, fogproof construction: Nitrogen-filled and IPX7 waterproof construction helps the scope stay usable in rain, temperature changes, and damp environments where internal fogging can disrupt the shot.

About the Bushnell AR Optics Series

Bushnell AR Optics is a riflescope family built around the needs of AR-15 and AR-10 compatible modern sporting rifles. In Bushnell’s lineup, the series focuses on practical shooting applications where fast handling, a wide field of view, and straightforward reticle systems matter more than oversized dimensions or highly specialized long-range features. The design philosophy is low-profile and functional, making these scopes a natural fit for carbines used in range work, predator control, and general-purpose hunting optics roles.

Across the series, Bushnell combines high-definition glass with fully multi-coated lenses to deliver a clear, usable image for rapid target transitions and dependable aiming in mixed light. The line includes several magnification classes, reticle types, focal-plane layouts, and both 1-inch and 30 mm tubes, so shooters can choose between simpler close-range setups and more capable mid-range configurations. Bushnell also developed AR Optics around cartridge-oriented reticle and turret concepts, with BDC-based options intended to make elevation holds more intuitive on common sporting rifle platforms. A Throw Down PCL power-change lever is a defining feature of the series, helping the shooter move quickly between low and high magnification without breaking rhythm.

About the Bushnell AR Optics 1-6x24

The Bushnell AR Optics 1-6x24 is a classic LPVO riflescope built for shooters who want one optic to cover close-range speed and moderate-distance precision on a 30 mm platform. At 1x, the wide field of view supports rapid target acquisition and smooth transitions between multiple targets, which suits dynamic range use, practical carbine shooting, and short- to mid-range hunting. Moving up to 6x gives a more precise sight picture for smaller targets or tighter shot placement without making the scope bulky or overly specialized.

This model uses the BTR-1 illuminated reticle in the second focal plane. That layout keeps the reticle visually consistent as magnification changes, which many shooters prefer in an LPVO because the aiming pattern stays easy to see at low power and uncluttered at higher power. Red illumination improves reticle visibility against dark cover and in low-contrast light, helping the eye find the center aiming point faster. The fixed parallax setting at 92 m keeps operation simple and appropriate for the distances where this optic is most often used.

Mechanically, the scope is set up for practical field use rather than constant dialing. Capped turrets reduce the chance of accidental adjustment, while the 6 MIL per revolution turret layout offers clear, useful correction when zeroing or making occasional holds-based adjustments. The fast-focus eyepiece helps the shooter sharpen the reticle quickly, and the 259.00 mm length and 467.00 g weight keep the package compact enough for modern sporting rifles that need to stay quick and well balanced.

About Bushnell

Bushnell was founded in 1948 by Dave Bushnell. He began selling optical products from a photographic shop in Pasadena, California, and the company grew into a well-known name in sports optics. Bushnell focuses on equipment for hunting, target shooting, birding, and general outdoor observation, with product categories that include binoculars, riflescopes, red dot sights, rangefinders, spotting scopes, and trail cameras.

Within the riflescope market, Bushnell is known for offering purpose-built lines for different users, from general sporting optics to more specialized tactical optics. Its catalog includes series such as Legend, Prime, Elite Tactical, and AR Optics, showing a broad emphasis on practical field use. Bushnell has also developed proprietary features such as EXO Barrier, a lens coating designed to repel water, oil, dust, and debris. In 2013, ATK completed its acquisition of Bushnell Group Holdings.
