SHOT SHOW 2013: Bushnell Elite Tactical 1-8.5x24mm FFP and Bushnell AR 1-4x24mm FFP

Bushnell Elite Tactical 1-8.5x24mm FFP

The new Bushnell Elite Tactical 1-8.5x24mm FFP is the latest addition to the Elite 6500 Tactical line. It features 0.1 mil locking turrets that function in the same manner as the HDMR (i.e. lift to unlock, lower to lock). The tube is 34mm.

The reticle is the BTR-2. The same horseshoe reticle offered on the 1-6.5x24mm. The rep told me that the illumination was daytime visible.

The 1x on this scope was pretty good. It definitely functioned well running it with both eyes open.

MSRP is $2149


Bushnell AR 1-4x24mm FFP

The new Bushnell AR 1-4x24mm FFP is part of the new AR line. It features 0.1 mil turrets and a built in cat tail. I believe the tube is 30mm.

The reticle is the BTR-1. The same horseshoe reticle offered on the 1-6.5x24mm.

The 1x was ok, similar to the Vortex Viper PST 1-4x.

MSRP $299

Any idea of the reticle light visibility during daylight conditions?

 

[quinnjoblow]

Do you know MSRP?

Too bad it doesn't have a 34mm tube, however I do like there HDMR line. Thanks

Opps! That was late night typo. It does have a 34mm tube. Corrected.

I would buy one if below 700 $

The title says 8.5 and the post says 6.5

 

[mildot]

Nice, what's the "price point" ?

 

[alfonzo1955]

Sorry, I misread. Disregard my post above. How do I edit/delete my post?

 

[hamerdwolfpussy]

I just bought the 1-6.5! Well, at least it was $1000 cheaper

Seems a bit on the pricey side!!! Must be a misprint!

 

[Bracketman]

I saw the MSRP last month from a UK Optics retailer and thought they were joking. I guess this pretty much proves that they were serious!

 

[saskcop]

That is crazy money for that.

 

[The Lorax]

That is crazy money for that.

With similar magnification range the Leupold Mark 8 1.1-8x24mm CQBSS M5B1 Front Focal is $5K. Now that's crazy money.
