Bushnell RXM-300; New Large Window Optic

[Lon]

Did a little trimming on the ALS locking “block” and now the RXM-300 fits just fine in a 6390.

This has about 700 rounds through it now. Haven’t cleaned the glass at all. A little bit of gunk from class the last 2 days, but not bad compared to what the gun looks like.

Any impressions of usability and the dot? To me it the dot appears less well circumscribed than a 6MOA which is to be expected and pretty similar to a 2.5 SRO dot visually which is plenty usable and plenty bright but I haven't shot it very much.

I would agree with that. I prefer the 2-3MOA dots so it suits me just fine. Each of the days were sunny and cloudless and I had zero issues with finding the dot/tracking the dot. I even turned it down a bit for some of the precision work we were doing. I wouldn’t consider this as a carry dot, too big/squared off. But for a gamer/fun gun? If it holds up, absolutely.

Well, my RXM-300 had a sudden loss of zero mid stage today halfway through the match. Finished with the BUIS. I thought the dot was completely out at first. After finishing the stage I went to the safe area and checked. The dot was still there, but you had to point the muzzle down about 45 degrees to see it. I’ll be contacting Bushnell tomorrow. Total round count was @800.

I wonder if it’ll do better on a frame mount. My buddy is gonna mount his on his open gun on a frame mount. I’ll report back after he’s got some rounds down range.

Not sure what I’ll do with the replacement when I get it.

Great…. <S>
I’m at 538 rds, so less than 300 to go…
Let us know how Bushnell customer service takes care of you.

At least I’ve got my SRO back from Trijicon, so I’ll have something to mount up when it fails.

I hope this one is an anomaly. I really like this optic.

Thanks for keeping us updated. So far I haven’t been brave enough to mount it on anything other than a rimfire rifle.

The replacement may end up on a M&P15/22.

Used it in low sun. It doesn’t have a double dot but it has tons of artifact. It looks like red specks all over the window. You can distinguish the actual dot but only if the index is perfect.

Not sure how I feel about it now. If it was good in low sunlight I was considering it as an SRO replacement (IF it holds up).
