Hi guys, can anyone tell me if bushnell scopes are any good, I've just been looking at a bushnell 6-18 x 50 for 200 quid, I just wondered if they are worth the money, cheers guys Art

which one is it? second hand or new?
Bushnell scopes are great and certainly worth every penny.
Kindest regards

IF I WALKED ON WATER PEOPLE WOULD SAY I COULD NOT SWIM !
Hi. I have a bushnell Ultra legend hd 4-14x44 scope, it's very good scope very clear lens more clear the my hawke side winder tac and mtc's, mine was around £300 and it's definitely worth every time.
Cheers guys for your answers, I,'ll definitely buy one now, thanks again Art
Another vote for bushnell scopes,if the one you are looking at is the Banner 6-18x50 they can be bought a lot cheaper than £200,the Legends are a great scope and the Elites are even better albeit a lot more expensive.
I have a Bushnell 6500 Elite 2.5-16 * 50mm on my .17 HMR, previously on my Airwolf. Damn fine scope: crisp, clear, sharp and is beautifully made. Well worth the money.
Hawke Tac 30 4.5-14 * 42mm ~ Harris 9-13" Swivel non notched bipod ~ Hawke LRF 600 - Tracer 400 Tactical ~ Nitesite Viper ~ Daystate Airwolf .177 ~ Sportsmatch mounts ~ Hugget Shroud + Belita Moderator ~ Aim Drag Bag
The Banner range isn't a patch on the Trophy or Legend ranges.
I don't think the Elite range is a significant step up from the Legend in terms of performance - other might disagree but I've not been impressed enough with an Elite to hold onto one.
You'll get a Bushnell Banner 3-9x40 for around £80
It's fine if you don't do much low light shooting but if you do lot of dawn and dusk shooting or especially in woodlands when the light's dropping on a winter's afternoon, it's well worth having a scope that sucks the light in and gives you a lot more shooting time.
Depends on what your shooting entails really, and your available budget.
The old 5-15x40 Legend is still a favourite of mine even given the marginally thicker cross hair than on certain other scopes.
I also really like my Bushnell Legend Ultra HD 4.5-14x44, and I have three of the little 1.75-5x32 Legend HD scopes and they are superb in all respects. I have one on an HW95, one on an HW99s, and one still in its box, waiting on the right gun to come along...
Bushnell Trophy scopes give almost as good low light performance as the Legends unless you crank the magnification right up - why you'd want to do that in low light is another thing entirely, but it's only fair to mention it...
FYI the 3-9x40 mil dot Bushnell Trophy is noticeably less bright in poor light than the same scope with the Circle-X and Multi-X ret.
I like my Legends (and Trophy scopes )
Good luck finding something suitable
The top two ladies in the ukahft national series used the bushnell elite 3200 10x40in the 2013 season
Just watch what you are buying, there are Bushnell scopes out there for £40 new - which are obviously not the "genuine article", but I got one as it was not enough money to get upset about, and was surprised just how good it was. I'm not saying buy crap stuff! I'm just saying for the cost they are great value, but I'm sure the originals are way ahead in terms of out and out quality.
