Bushnell AR Optics 1-8x24mm 30mm Tube Illuminated BTR-1 BDC Riflescope

The Bushnell AR Optics 1-8x24mm is a purpose-built low-power variable riflescope designed for fast, accurate AR-platform shooting from close quarters out to mid-range distances. Housed in a 30mm main tube and finished in non-reflective black matte, the optic delivers a rugged mounting platform with generous elevation and windage adjustment travel.

The illuminated BTR-1 BDC reticle is calibrated for .223 Remington / 5.56mm NATO cartridges, providing quick holdovers for common AR-15 loads so the shooter can range and engage without dialing. The reticle is powered by a CR2032 battery for the illuminated center, and the optical system is fully multi-coated for brightness, contrast, and glare reduction. The eyepiece delivers a generous 3.60 inches of eye relief for comfortable shooting behind an AR-15.

Magnification runs from true 1x for both-eyes-open close-quarters work up to 8x for precise mid-range target identification. The 24mm objective keeps the scope profile low while pulling in enough light for general daytime use, and fixed parallax is set for engagement distances typical of the AR-15. Field of view runs from approximately 100 ft at 100 yds at 1x down to 16 ft at 100 yds at 8x. The scope measures 10.20 inches overall and weighs 16.50 oz, pairing cleanly with flattop AR-15 builds.

Turrets use the BTR-1 BDC layout and are capped for protection against accidental movement in the field. Construction is fog proof and IPX7 waterproof, sealing the optics against rain and brief immersion. The package includes the riflescope, a short throw lever for fast magnification changes, and protective lens covers.
