Description
The Bushnell R7 4-20×50 is a first focal plane riflescope built for precision shooting at extended ranges, where accurate ranging and holdover calculations demand that the reticle scale correctly at every power setting. Because the reticle sits in the first focal plane, its subtensions remain true whether you are dialed to 4x for a quick close shot or to 20x for a measured long-range engagement — you can read MRAD values off the reticle without mentally correcting for magnification, which matters when time or conditions do not allow a full turret adjustment. The 50mm objective gathers enough light to sustain a clear, high-contrast image in low-angle morning and evening shooting light, when game is most active and shadows compress depth perception. Extra-low dispersion glass, indicated by the ED designation, reduces chromatic aberration at the edges of the field — the color fringing that otherwise softens fine detail on hair, fur, or target edges, particularly at higher powers where aberrations scale with the image. The MRAD-based holdover reticle pairs logically with MRAD turrets, so a single unit of measure runs through your dope, your ranging math, and your corrections without conversion overhead. That consistency is especially useful when shooting in a team, where calling corrections in mismatched units introduces error. The matte black finish reduces surface reflection without requiring additional treatment in the field. This is a scope suited to the deliberate precision shooter — hunters who work open country at distance and target shooters who want a single reticle-and-turret system that does not require a calculator between the spotter and the trigger.
