Another Bushnell Engage?

[jawshunting]

I have a Bushnell Engage 4-16X44 on my FX Crown Continuum. (25 caliber). I love the scope but wish now I would have bought the 6-24X50. I keep searching the threads here and have seriously considered another brand scope with the higher power but when I do some research I always find someone bad mouthing it for some reason. Does anyone have personal experience with the Engage 6-24X50? How is the clarity at high power? I don't want to sell mine and regret it. Thanks in advance for any advice.

I've had one on my .22 FX Streamline I use for 25M Benchrest for over a year now. Great scope for the money. Too bad they don't make them anymore...

The forge is awesome if you want to look into that model.

I have the 6-18x50 and 4.5-27x50 Bushnell Forge and they have 25 yard minimum focus.

My 6-24x50 Engages have 10 yard focus and looks like its hard to tell the difference in clarity compared to my Forges and Nitro 6-24x50 and believe it or not prefer the picture of the whiter picture image Engage 6-24x50 over both the Forge that appears to have a yellow tint which was a bummer for me.

Bushnell has a new competition $499 illuminated FFP 6-24x50 with 10 yard focus that's rumored to have Forge glass and turrets. $450 for the non illuminated but I suggest getting illuminated since FFP reticle hard to see at low magnification turn on that illumination and pray it's daytime visible.

I wouldn't have purchased my Forge scopes had I known about these cheaper options earlier. Still holding out because it's rumored to have Forge glass. If it does I probably wouldn't be too happy.

If the $499 Bushnell has Engage or Nitro glass and illumination is daylight visible then I would be jumping for joy.
