Bushnell elite 6500?

[summit151]

Hey everyone. Just wondering how a elite 6500 2.4x18 would compare to the leupold vx5 and some of the other brands of scopes in that price range? Found a used one but looks brand new but curious if it’s
Worth the money

I think your numbers are wrong on the scope model. But the 2.5-16x42 is a very nice scope in the $600 used range.

Good clear scope but the weight for me is a non starter unless on a target rifle. Have one on my 22-250 and it would make a good boat anchor.

Far to heavy for a hunting rifle imo also! Never was impressed with them.

I think it’s amazing scope..Don’t think it’s all that heavy. Unless your climbing over mountains!
A great optic. IMHO

I like FFP thats the only prob..

great scope but not for the mountains indeed. i know a few guys that had them on lightweight rig and did not keep them because of the weight not for the other qualities for that great riflescope.
