Got the same sale flyer e-mail from Natchez yesterday, and meant to post about it, but forgot. Thanks, Gene.
I ordered one to try out on my TF-89. From Stephanie (PeakChick)'s and Genes observations in the past, it looks like one that will do a fine job.

Of course I could not pass that up either...:) I have an old Leapers on my TF-89. I just finished a super tune on my GH950. 22 which has the same action as the TF-89, but is no longer available...:) It shoots just as smooth and hard as the TF-89. I know the Peak has one one of her shooters and has held up great for her..:) So I have no doubt that it will perform great on the GH 950..:) Especially for the price of it. I should of ordered 2 at that price... hehe
I have never seen them at any Wally World around me but that does not mean some of the stores would not sell them..

I take it that these ARE heavy recoil airgun rated??????????
Thanks,

Bushnell states that all their scopes will handle spring rifle recoil. That does not mean they are all recommended for air rifles, that has more to do with parallax correction and size. I have this 4-12 x 40 AO Sportsman on my .177 B26. Approx. 300-400 pellets worth and it has worked fine. It is a good scope for the money, especially $40.00 from Natchez. I nought mine at a local Wal Mart for about $70.00. It has decent optics, a bit critcal for eye relief. The AO markings seem accurate, and it does focus down to at least 10 yds.. It is not the equal of a Banner or Trophy, for optics and is about an inch longer than either of those scopes. It has a nice, heavy duty, one piece tube.

What Peak says is very true but as she stated the Sportsman is not equal to the Banner models, and in my opinion is not made for heavy recoil air rifles such as the RWS 350, 460, Gamo 1250 or Patriot. But should hold up fine with light to mid range recoil. Would probably hold up better than most of the newer Simmons scopes.
Here is a link for more information on air gun rated scopes. http://www.lasc.us/RangingShotRifleAirGunScopes.htm (http://www.lasc.us/RangingShotRifleAirGunScopes.htm)

Not really. If you check out OpticsPlanet which offers free shipping, there price is over $70.00. So $54.00 total from Natchez shipping is not that bad...:)

The standard shipping and insurance from Chattanooga to western NC was $14 for 2 of the Bushy scopes plus a Simmons spotting scope. I figured that spread between those three items, I couldn't beat the deal. Especially if you take into account that I placed the order last Thursday morning, and the box arrived early Friday afternoon. Was I surprised!
I hope to install one this evening and see how it "looks".

Gene,
Natchez also has excellent Customer Service. Day in and day out, they have the best prices and best quality selection on scopes than any other retailer on the market. Best of luck
