need opinion for this bushnell scope

I have never used one personally but I had an elite 1500 ARC reangefinder and numerous Bushnell scopes. Their rangefinders are nothing to write home about and I have had more bad luck than good with their scopes. With a rangefinder scope you can only use it on the one rifle. I would suggest saving up some money and buying a hand held unit like a Leica 1200 or a Swarovski which are the two best IMO. This way you can use the rangefinder for anything you want.
 
looks like a lot to go wrong all in one package. I have handled one. Bulky, optics were just ok, not as clear as the elite 4 series... uhmmmm... 800 bones for it is somewhat spendy for glass that is lacking in clarity.

At leas the example I tried. Your Mileage May Vary.
 
i was at the range one day and a guy had one mounted on his 300wsm. i took a few shots with it and i must say, i like my vortex viper better for clarity / weight. the range finder is a nice feature but for the same amount of money you can get a scope and range finder and probably be happier.
 
I think I would go with the Burris model. I think they have a ballistic plex reticle which is
really nice. Also, I have not heard good things about Bushnell service. For a regular scope I would not be that worried but when electronics get factored in thats different. Why dont you contact Burris and find out what kind of warranty service they provide(where located and what kind of turn around times). I think the 2 scopes are probably fairly similar but remember that these are fairly new to the market and I don't think there are any kind of long range reviews out yet ie:how they are holding up in the field.
It's just my .02cents but its what I would do.
