If you visit Bushnell’s website, you can immediately notice the new improved website design. And if you browse the products on their website you’ll see that a wide variety of scopes and sights that were introduced during SHOT Show 2018 are now listed there. Perhaps the most notable new Bushnell product line is their Tac Optics line which includes the minimalistic prism sight called LIL P and two red dot sight called Big D and TRS26. Let’s take a quick look at each of these sights.
LIL P Prism Sight
Bushnell claims that this prism sight with its overall length of 2.5″, is the smallest prism sight currently available on the market. The LIL P also has a waterproof, shockproof and fog proof (nitrogen purged) construction. Below you can find other features of the LIL P sight quoted from the company’s website:
