Bushnell Elite Tactical 4.5-30x, 50mm Mildot

[30Hart]

Ok guys,

I pulled the trigger today on a Bushnell Elite Tactical 4.5-30x, 50mm Mildot brand new from OpticsPlanet for $739 after military discount. This is the cheapest I have ever seen these scopes. Cheap enough that I'd at least put it next to my 6.5-20 Leupold Mark 4 and my Zeiss Conquest 6.5-20 to see how it compares. I was really wanting a scope for my 6.5 X47 that had more than 20x on the top end and I really like its low end too. I've reviewed a couple of independent tests on the net that were positive and with the 1 year return for a full refund and the lifetime original owner warranty I figure its a safe bet. Will use it for long-range antelope and paper to 1300 yards or so.

I looking for any feedback you guys have on it both good and bad. I figure at that price it would be hard to beat with the other mid range scopes out there. 90 MOA elevation, decent glass, good internals, and an excellent warranty...lets hear it! Did I do good?

The Elite series are good scopes, and compare well to the other scopes you listed, the big downside to me is 1/4 MOA knobs, with a MRAD(MilDot) reticle the scope should only come with .1MRAD knobs, that way corrections are easy and fast.

They are a heck of a scope for the money spent... You did good...
I have a few I wouldn't part with....

I have 6 of them, I'm old and don't see well far away. I shopped hard and never paid more than $700 ea. I like the extra 10 power over the usual ?x20 powers that are common. and they are not to heavy or bulky, buy and be happy you can't hit what you can't see 8)

I bought a 6 X 24 X50 Tactical Elite with a G2DMR reticule for a 243 longer range build. I love it so much I bought another for a 223 build. Optics Planet has always been good to me. Another note is I sent another Bushnell scope back to them because the scope would go out of focus every time I shot this heavier gauge rifle. I had this scope for about a year. They replaced it no problem. Good luck with yours.
