I wanted to see if any of you out there have had any experiences with the Bushnell Banner line of scopes...
My .270 came with one in 3x9-40 (no complaints on this one so far) and was thinking of going with 4x12-40 IR on a different gun...

I had one on my .280 and it was a POS. would never hold zero. Missed 2 deer because of it. Could have just been that particular scope, and not the whole line. It was a 3x9x50.
Those of you who do not stand behind our millitary, please stand in front of it!!!

Not too crazy about Bushnell after that

Yea, me too. The guys on my lease bought a banner for my wife for Christmas about 4 years ago and sighted it in for her. She missed 3 awesome deer so I checked it. The left/right adjustment didn't work. It was 3 feet to the left. They told me the barrel was shot out. We replaced it this past season and trying to sight it in, I realized the SHOT OUT barrel was grouping sub MOA. Not bad for a 1962 Win. Mod. 70. That was one of only 2 scopes I ever had trouble with, the other one was on a B B gun.

I have a 6-18x50 banner on a 257 wby vanguard and it is a shootin' dude. For the time being, I can't complain about the clarity and how well it focuses @ the correct yardage marks.

Im not sure about putting them on large rifles but ive had on on my 10/22 for the past 4 years and never had to resight it in. It is clear as glass and hold a tight zero.

I had a Banner 3x9x50 for 6 years. I shot it on 4 different rifles and killed several deer and hogs looking through it with zero issues.
