Bushnell 6-24 x 50mm tactical

I had one for a couple of months, now it's gone again. Much will depend on what you expect it to be. If you expect it to be a decent scope in the midrange class you'll be OK. If you want it to be a highend tactical scope that miraculously sells for 1/3 of a Mark 4, or 1/4 of a Nightforce you will be disappointed.


Edit to add. There was only 45 minutes of elevation, what's that all about?

I have one on a Savage 10FP. I like the Elite 4200 range and own several. The 6x24x50 Tactical has been reviewed on the Sniper Central ( including pics on a Rem 700 P ) so I will keep my comments brief: I like the glass and consider it very good, the turrets are easy to use with good tactile and an audible feedback. Settings are repeatable. The included sunshade is good and useful. The fit and finish appears excellent. The recticle (mildot) is a little thick but quite OK for me ( maybe too thick for benchresters ? ). The scope doesn't have a huge internal adjustment and, in fact, less than the Falcon Menace but as I have a 20 MOA base and don't have access to very long ranges it isn't an issue but for others it may be. I consider the scope to be better than the Falcon Menace ( but at almost twice the price is it twice as good ? ) in terms of clarity at full magnification and repeatability of turret adjustment and on a par with some Leupold scopes I have looked through at the range ( of course there are many Leupolds so I don't know if I was comparing apples to apples here ). Of course, the scope is simply not as good as Schmidt and Bender, Nightforce et al but as the previous poster said it is only a third ( maybe a quarter ? )of the price. Having said that, I have seen at least two Nighforce scopes that were not any clearer and if I had spent $2000 on either of the ones I comment upon I would be quite disappointed. I am sure that most are as others report though.

I bought the scope online at Wholesale and paid about $700 if my memory serves me right.
 
I played with one a bit, very nice. The magnification range (6-24) is a pretty slick way to make the mildots work at more than one power.

The only reason I ended up not going with it was because of the lack of elevation. Seems kinda pointless to have a 30mm tube if you're only getting 40-45' of elevation.
