Bushnell Elite 6500 Review

[mattinlondon]

Ah Grasshopper, The Way to Enlightenment is through Continual Experimentation (in other words I was bored and needed to buy something)

Looked a nice bit of glass when I had a look at it at Bisley, very bright!, one comment I would make is that the yardage markings on the side wheel p/a where a little small to see. Would you agree Charles?......

Grasshopper may well get sprayed with DDT if he alters my px again

So Charles is the Bushnell or the EB going on the new feinwerkbau p70?

Thinking of ordering one with a custom scope rail, so I can mount them in parallel

Scope update :-

I have used the scope now for every shooting trip I have took from hunting night and day to target shooting.

The scope has been faultless to use, no whiting out or flaring in direct sunlight and the extra time it gives due to the brightness of the image is fantastic.

Have done some experiments with range finding and its very very good for the x16 mag on the scope, you just have to learn where the sidewhell is marked is not allways true. I think if a large wheel was used and your own markings it would be fantastic, but it is very consistent onece figured out and does not suffer from temp changes either.

The scope is very robust and well made with a terrific finish that oozes class.

The turrets are really good giving positive clicks and i found it very easy to dial in.

Compared the scope to a 4200 last week and both of us thought the 6500 was better in terms of image quality and clarity, seemed to be finished better as well.

As I use it more I will update again as promised.

Good to see more being used now, and at BAR's price I think another will appear on my recently aquired venom.

Thanks

Dave

You can correct the marking for yardage by adjusting the ocular bell....

My 2.5-16 couldn't suit my 22lr any better - delighted with it

Bought one recently from BAR and i am very pleased with it, up untill now i have used Hawke, Falcon and the likes and this is without doubt a step up. Everything operates nice and smoothly and the optics are fantastic. Would recommend this scope without hesitation. Could easily get bitten by the scope bug if i do not show some self restraint.
