Re: Bushnell Elite 6500 4.5x30x50MM VS Leupold Mk
I don't think comparing Leupold to Bushnell is fair. The Mk4 is in a different class. Now, I'm not a Leupold biggot, actually use NF when I want a scope with 100% reliability. However, Leupold does make good stuff and comparing their high end scopes with Bushnell's high-end stuff is kind of a joke IMHO. I do a lot of F-Class and see plenty of people looking for a cost-effective scope to use in competition. At the high-end, you see a gazillion Nightforces. At the low-end, I see a lot of Weavers, Sightrons, and a few Supersnipers. Leupold is also popular, but it depends on the specific model. I'd categorize Leupold as a good mid-range scope, a step below NF, March, S&B, etc.
