Just sighted in my newly acquired Bushnell 6500 2.5-16X42 on my new FX Crown .177. Using this scope after using Aztecs and Hawkes feels like driving a Mercedes after owning a KIA.
Bushnell 6500
- Thread starter MP44
- Start date
MP44,
I agree whole heartedly. I've only looked through the Aztecs (outside and in fulll sun) and the glass is not worth the asking price while the reticle is perhaps too thin and quickly gets "lost" against mottled or darker back grounds. Although, the reticle design itself is excellent.
I own three of the 6500 Bushnell, two in DOA 600 and the other mil-dot. They are a pleasure to use with big, bright eye boxes and plenty of eye relief. Side focus knobs are smooth and not overly firm to rotate. I own other scopes and switch between guns in a shooting session and every time I pull up to a Bushy I'm reminded of why I paid so damn much!
Enjoy it MP44!

The windage, elevation and parallax adjustments are just so much better on the 6500. You would think with China's slave labor wages, that for $400-$500 that you could actually get high quality material, not just a lot of features on a scope made with lower quality materials.
