Bushnell Elite 6500??

[Bush Man]

Has anybody seen these or tried them? I don't believe I ever heard of 6500 series. They are boasting 6.5x power range and 30mm tube!

Some of the options are:
2.5x-16x 42mm or 50mm
4.5x-30x 50mm
Check it out at bushnell.com

I wonder what the price will be like compared to the 4200 line. Any dealers here have any idea as of yet ???

 

[Bush Man]

Well I did a little research and the prices are:

2.5x-16x 42mm $699
4.5x-30x 50mm $919.00

Well I did a little research and the prices are:

2.5x-16x 42mm $699
4.5x-30x 50mm $919.00

This is US pricing, possibly from Cabelas, I wonder what is Canadian pricing?

The 6500's won't be available until after April (or later). I have handled the demo units and was very impressed with the optics and features. Our pricing should be as follows:
2.5-16x42 (fine multi-X or mildot)...$669.
2.5-16x50 (fine Multi-X or mildot)...$755.
4.5-30X50 (fine Multi-X or mildot)...$863. Phil.

Thanks for chiming in Phil. How clear were the optics as compared to 4200, my 8-32 can get fuzzy on the higher magnifications......have to figure out if it is me or the scope though

Is there any word of target knobs for the 6500 series.

How did you like the turrets? I'm wondering about the push/pull function and if it is robust enough and are there marks to go by. My 4200's are terrible for knowing where the hell they are set at and go back to.
