Each report is the words of the person who made it, as CPSC published them. The company’s comments, where CPSC published any, are set apart as the company’s own.

  1. No one hurt

    Made Jun 23, 2025, sent to the company Jun 30, 2025, published by CPSC Jul 15, 2025

    The product, in the report: Bushnell Sportview T1403 4x32 Riflescope

    While using a Bushnell Sportview T1403 432 riflescope mounted on a [REDACTED]-branded .30-06 bolt-action rifle, a safety-related failure occurred. The small metallic turret indicator disc (part of the windage adjustment dial) detached from the scope and fell into the action of the rifle.

    The disc became lodged in the bolt and chamber area, jamming the rifles bolt. It was crushed during bolt operation. Although no injury occurred in this case, I believe this incident presents a serious safety hazard due to the nature of how the disc entered the firearms action.

    If a shooter were to unknowingly force the bolt closed with the disc obstructing the chamber, it could lead to:

    An out-of-battery discharge, Gas or metal blowback toward the shooter, Catastrophic failure of the firearm, and Potential injury or death. This part failure occurred without abuse or modification. Photos of the damaged scope and the bent disc are available and were submitted to Bushnell Customer Support for review. I am submitting this report to raise awareness and in hopes of initiating a safety evaluation of this failure mode.
