Bushnell Reflex Sight, the RXS-250, Is Right On Target
The new Bushnell reflex sight, the RXS-250, should become popular with shooters wanting an affordable red dot sight for a carbine, shotgun or handgun. The RXS-250 features a MIL-STD-810F impact resistant design, user adjustable brightness settings and lens coatings that provide users with a vivid, clear view free of color distortion.
Bushnell Reflex Sight Built Tough
For those seeking a true impact resistant red dot, the new RXS-250 is a good option.
The RXS-250 has a rugged cast aluminum housing for protection of glass and electronic internal components, as well as an IP67 dust and waterproof rating, sealing off the electronics and allowing for the optic to be submerged without damage. Its chamfered hood edges help prevent snags on clothing or objects in the environment. The RXS-250’s optimized hood geometry and reflector lens design provide a large field of view without sacrificing durability.
10 Brightness Settings, 4 MOA Red Dot
This new Bushnell reflex sight features a 4 MOA red dot and 10 brightness settings. Those settings allow for clear daylight viewing and low settings for excellent nighttime visibility and pairing with night vision devices. The RXS-250 provides detented windage/elevation adjustments with 1 MOA per click. It has an easy-access, shrouded push-button design for brightness setting adjustments.
The new RXS-250 is fully multicoated with True Tone color that does not have a blue hue on the glass, which provides accurate color representation and high light transmission averaging 86 percent. The coating system also mitigates stray artifacts from secondary light sources.
Long-Life Battery Is Easy To Replace
At the core of the new RXS-250 is a bright, clear reflex sight with industry leading battery life.
It’s rated at 50,000 hours (5+ years) on the mid-setting (Setting 5). You won’t need to change the battery any time soon. The top loading battery is easy to replace and helps maintain your zero without the hassle of removing the sight from the firearm.
The new RXS-250 utilizes an energy efficient point source LED to create a collimated beam for a clear, strong 4-MOA dot without wasting energy. This combination of features helps to extend battery life while offering high brightness settings for day-bright visibility.
Bushnell Reflex Sight Easy To Mount
A desirable option for pistols, rifles and shotguns, the new red dots work across all common red dot mounts with a DeltaPoint® Pro footprint. The RXS-250 is compatible with multiple factory optics-ready pistols and aftermarket suppressor height sights.
“The Bushnell RXS-250 has not ceased to amaze me,” said World Champion Shooter and Bushnell Team member KC Eusebio. “I make a living using these tools and this optic can do it all. I’ve trained, competed, hunted, and carried this red dot and it excels in all areas of marksmanship. It withstands a drop from 5 feet which makes it extremely durable. The optic also has easy adjustments for
intensity, windage, and elevation, along with a top load battery system for the rare occasion of changing your battery every five years. The RXS-250 has glass with true tone clarity to help find your targets with ease, paired with a crisp clear 4 MOA dot, it’s perfect for your pistol, rifle, or shotguns needs.”
“The RXS250 is the answer to many requests from red dot users,” said World Title Holder and Bushnell Team member Jessie Harrison. “Its sturdy and durable design gives me the confidence that it can withstand any condition and its intensity adjustments can face any lighting condition. It transitions seamlessly from competitions, everyday carry and in the field.”
