Just looking for opinions on the Bushnell 2.5-16x42 Elite 6500 30mm Rifle Scope 652164MD.
Thinking of buying one. Putting it on a Ruger 270.

Mil reticle with MOA adjustments. So I went with the 3-12x44 tactical instead.
Quality of mine is good and I estimate that one is in the same ballpark.
It doesn't seem to have a FFP reticle, and I can't really recommend a SFP mildot reticle. Could be wrong, but if it isn't mentioned I assume SFP.

The Elites are a nice optic. Bushnell turned everything up into high hear with these. The turrets are solid and will give you great repeatability. The glass will also impress you. I persoanlly am a big fan of the 2.5-16 magnification range and the 30mm tube will give you plenty of internals adjustment. Unless you're ranging with your Mil Dot reticle often, an SFP scope is perfectly fine. You can still range on it while its on 16x as well I believe.

I bought this scope to run on my .260 and haven't looked back. Great optic reliable and repeatable. Glass is clear and overall very close to my MK4 Leupold when tested side by side.
My only gripe is the green markings on the dial. I have a hard time seeing them in certain light, but my eyes started leaving when I turned 40. Of all the scopes I have bought lately the Mk4 and Elite 6500 are the only ones I have kept. Can't go wrong for the money IMO.
