bushnell 6500 elite tactical

Has anybody here had any experience with these? I went and looked at one first hand and I like it. It just seems like a lot of money for a bushnell. On the other hand it looks like a good bargain compared to the leupolds and NFs.

They are essentially the Elite 4200 in a newer version with a side parralax focus and more magnification. The 4200 is still available and I have one of those. I think the optics quality is the same in the 6500 and 4200. The side parralax adjustment is a little more handy than the objective lens adjustment. They do the same thing. For the money, I'd buy one before I bought either of the other two brands mentioned.

I agree, just looked at one the other day up here in Lancaster County, PA. Great glass!

you can go to snipercentral.com and read reveiws. Mel does a lot of non bias reveiws on a lot of thing from rifles to optics. And he has a lot of others up there besides that scope. Than might help a little as well.
