Bushnell BT6245FG opinions/info

[golfcarz]

I came across a Bushnell BT6245FG for sale today. I'm having a tough time coming up with information on it. I'm unsure of it's age and current value. I can find its MSRP and basic specs, but no reviews of any kind. Does anyone have any knowledge or opinions they can share with me? What type of shooting is the reticle meant for? What was it's original actual selling price etc? I'm somewhat interested in buying it, but don't want to overpay. Thanks.

At least they tell you where they are "likely" to be made and Japan is a good place.

Thanks. It is definitely made in Japan and I believe it sold for around $900-1000 new. I've found a review or two on similar Bushnell scopes, but not this one. The reviews were positive. I think it's probably around 10 years old, but I'm not sure when they came out, or when they were discontinued. I don't know if it's worth $300 or $600. I can't find any others for sale, or that have sold. Any other input would be appreciated.

I have a fixed 10x in this range of scopes. Been a solid performer - but, the 6-24 I suspect the design a little dated, compared to say, a Vortex PST. But like most Bushnell's down here - good warranty but rarely break anyway.

I have (had?) a Bushnell tactical 6-24x50 with a mildot reticle and second focal plane. Overall a very solid scope for the money. Would prefer a finer reticle for my current preferences but it was one scope purchase I’m still very happy with.

Thanks for all the input. I'll probably pass on it because of the lack of information I'm coming up with on it.
