All water under the bridge now of course but I'm quite suprised that more military users didn't go down the Bushnell telescope route. The UKicon Military looked seriously at one variant that was readily available off the shelf from Bushnell in the US and extremely good value too! I think I mentioned it, that it was rejected because Bushnell couldn't/wouldn't make a couple of modifications. I seem to recall that the grat pattern was one of them. I feel sure that someone said that one of the reasons was that we had to select an EU made scope before we went abroad while someone else mentioned that because Bushnell couldn't change something (grat pattern ?) it was suspected that they were an Asian import into the USAicon. This latter bit was confirmed during an earlier discussion on the forum.
