Bushnell Ar Optics 4.5-18x40 Illm Bk

The Bushnell AR Optics 4.5-18x40 Illuminated Black riflescope delivers a versatile magnification range and rapid target acquisition designed for AR platform rifles and modern sporting rifles across variable distance engagements. Built on a durable 1-inch aircraft aluminum tube with large exposed MIL turrets, this Second Focal Plane (SFP) scope combines fast magnification changes with field-proven reticle technology to support operators running precision rifle systems in training, tactical, or competition environments.

The scope's Illuminated Windhold reticle provides instant visual reference without reliance on hold-over calculations, while the included short and long throw levers enable rapid magnification adjustments between close-quarters and extended-range shots. Five interchangeable turrets—including a 6-MIL elevation turret plus four additional BDC caliber-specific elevation turrets configured for 6.5 Creedmoor and other popular modern rifle cartridges—allow quick dialing for ammunition-specific ballistics. This configuration streamlines field adjustments and reduces transition time between load-outs. Weighing 2.13 lbs with a 15.5-inch optical length, the scope balances optical performance with platform balance on midweight and tactical AR builds.

The 4.5-18x magnification range addresses both close-range target work and mid-range precision shots typical of modern rifle training, hunting, and tactical scenarios. Operators and serious shooters benefit from the SFP design, which maintains consistent reticle size relative to target across magnification settings—a practical advantage for fast-target engagement where precision matters. The Bushnell AR Optics line targets shooters who demand proven reliability without premium price points, making this scope a straightforward choice for duty rifles, patrol carbines, and range platforms.
