A nice piece for the money - Bushnell Elite 6500 2.5-16x50mm Waterproof Rifle Scope w/ Rain Guard

Having a 6+ to 1 zoom ratio is really nice for fast target acquisition or relatively short range work as well as stuff out there in the hundreds of yards. Got the Mil dot reticle for the hold-over/under points. It will mount on my heavy-barrel semi-match varmint AR. The only potential drawback to this scope is the fact that the reticle is mil dot, but the adjustments are 1/4 MOA per click. This doesn't matter much for target work, but it may confuse the longer-range hunter who may need to keep in mind some adjustment factors other than just counting clicks.
