Too good to be true!

by Rich, from OR, United States Written on July 2, 2024
Glass is superior to the four Swarovski z5 5-25X52 I bought to save a few ounces. The turrets ALWAYS move the amount corresponding to the turrets. Fairly light by today's standards. Field of view is adequate for woods hunting on 4 1/2X and 30X is just as clear for really looking something over.
Pros:
  • Glass & Mechanically excellent
Cons:
  • None
Best Used for:
  • bragging rights
Would recommend: Yes

Good pick for versitility

by Mickey Eye, Verified Owner from MD, United States Written on February 24, 2017
I needed an optic for my Ruger No. 1 in 30-06, but wanted to be able to transfer it to another rifle in the future. The adjustable magnification and good low light performance give me a nice mid to long range view for deer hunting, but would also be good for other open area hunting or target shooting. Clear image and easy to use adjustments. Might be a bit more scope than I need right now, but I didn't want to have to buy bothersome later.
Pros:
  • clear optics
  • Good low-light performance
  • Magnification and versitility
  • easy adjustablility
Cons:
  • None
Best Used for:
  • mid range
  • hunting & target shooting
  • lone range shooting
Would recommend: Yes

Great scope

by Woodsnuc, Verified Owner from LA, United States Written on March 1, 2015
I installed this on a Remington 700 5R in 308. The scope is bright and clear. The adjustment knobs work well, and I like they are covered. I really like the magnification range. The 4.5 setting works fine for any closer in hunting shots, and the 30X makes long range target and hunting shots a pleasure. The price was very competitive. This is the best scope I now own. It is a good value of features for the money.
Pros:
  • Size
  • magnification range
  • Parallax adjystment
Cons:
  • none... yet
Best Used for:
  • Long range target, hunting & varminting
Would recommend: Yes

Awesome scope for the price

by BIGJOHN, from AL, United States Written on January 19, 2015
Bought this scope because the deer were crossing at 300 yards and I could not zoom in as close as I wanted with a 3*9*50 . So I purchased this scope with the BDC reticle and the 130 grain 270 round is one of the main rounds it was designed for. On 1/18/15 I had a buck , ended up being a 4 pt cross at about 800 yards and I turned the scope up to 30 power and could see him and his rack with very fine detail . I would recommend this to anybody wanting a scope for clear sight picture at longer ranges .it is also great for early morning/late afternoon hunting , you can see deer with the scope you can't see with the eye.

Bushnell Elite 6500 has incredible range of magnification

by Hal, from VA, United States Written on July 30, 2014
The 4.5 to 30 power range of the Bushnell 6500 Elite scope is incredible as is the side focus.
The 50mm front objective with the 30 mm tube delivers incredible bright images. I use this scope on my .308 MIA semi-automatic. It is sturdy and the 30X setting allowed me to improve the accuracy when testing loads and still can be turned back to 4.5 power for general shooting and quick target acquisition.
I was amazed how compact this scope is for its power range. I would recommend this scope to anyone.

Great 4.5-30 x 50 Scope!

by Legacy Reviewer, Verified Owner Written on October 9, 2013
Mounted on a heavy barrel Howa in 204 Ruger. Setup is used primarily for long range shooting of prairie dogs. Have used scope for over one year. Clarity on 30X is great and very useful for small animals at 400+ yards. Elevation & windage adjustments perform perfectly. Have adjusted both for kills in the wind of 415 yards. Cannot say enough good things about this scope. Will buy another for a 223.
Pros: Clarity, Elevation & Windage Adjustments
Cons: None
Would recommend: Yes

Great Optic

by Legacy Reviewer, from TX, United States Written on March 3, 2013
I will never hesitate to purchase a Bushnell optic. This riflescope is one of the best I have and is on par with riflescopes of much higher price. The glass is perfectly clear and the high magnification is great for the long range shots. I highly recommend this optic.
Pros: Clarity, Construction, Magnification
Cons: None
Would recommend: Yes
