jwg45acp's Review of Bushnell Elite 6500 2.5-16x50mm Waterproof Rifle Scope w/ Rain Guard
I just got back from a SD varmint hunting trip. I have it mounted on a SIG 716 with a Timney drop in trigger, otherwise it's a stock gun. With Hornady 168gr AMAX and Hornady American Gunner 155gr BTHP, I can keep three-shot groups about 1/2" @100 yards. Out west in overcast conditions, a scope that can't handle colors well will ruin a hunt as you won't be able to differentiate dogs from dirt. This scope handles colors great. I could clearly see everything down range. When dialed up at 10power, the MIL-DOTs are right where they should be and that's where I left the scope as my shots were anywhere between 100-500 yards away. Long story short, my scope, while resting on a bipod, got blown over by winds that folded our tent and hit the rocky ground. No loss of zero! (it was mounted in a Leupold IMS MK2 btw). All day long I was dialing the windage and elevation knobs back and forth between the AG and the AMAX. At the end of the day I lased a dog at 418 yards and dialed the scope back for AMAX ammo. The wind had died to nothing. I put the round on target. This scope is super clear, and rugged and the adjustments are very repeatable. My only gripe is I wish the MIL DOTs were calibrated for the 16x, but that's ok. On my other SIG I have a MK4 Leupold LR/T and man, the clarity of this Bushnell glass is very close to the MK4 which is simply amazing! Worth every penny!
