The Bushnell R5-1624S26 delivers true 1-6x magnification in a robust 30mm tube design built for rapid target acquisition and precision shooting. This variable power scope bridges the gap between close-quarters engagement and medium-range accuracy with crystal-clear glass and reliable tracking.
What Makes This Different
The R5 series features a generous eye relief and forgiving eyebox that maintains sight picture consistency during rapid shooting sequences. Unlike fixed-power optics, the 1-6x magnification range adapts instantly from room-clearing scenarios at 1x to precise shots at extended distances. The 30mm main tube provides 25% more internal adjustment range compared to standard 1-inch tubes, ensuring reliable zero retention under recoil.
Key Features
- True 1x magnification with both-eyes-open shooting capability
- 30mm aircraft-grade aluminum tube construction for maximum durability
- Multi-coated lenses deliver 95% light transmission for low-light performance
- Fast-focus eyepiece accommodates prescription glasses and varying light conditions
- Capped turrets with audible clicks provide secure adjustments
- Compatible with standard 30mm scope rings and Picatinny rail systems
- Nitrogen-purged and O-ring sealed for complete waterproof protection
Field testing confirms the R5 maintains zero through temperature extremes from -20°F to 120°F. The scope performs equally well on AR-15 platforms for competitive shooting, bolt-action rifles for hunting applications, and tactical carbines for professional use. Internal mechanisms resist impact and vibration while the lens coatings shed water and resist fogging during rapid weather changes.
