Does anyone have experience with this spotting scope? I was thinking I purchasing one but wanted to know if it is a waste or not?

I think they are excellent value for the money. I have managed to spot hits on birchwood casey shoot-n-c targets at 1000 yards with mine. Mind you a cool day with light or no mirage is essential, but that its possible at all for under 400 bucks is impressive in my book.
Get the newer one with the hash mil reticle if you can, the dot's seem less precise to me.

I have seen a few comments on this scope and all are positive, so far. The next good review I see is going to make me pull the trigger. I do like the mil-hash idea. I'll be watching this thread.

I have one.
It's built pretty well, and the glass is a very good value for the money. You won't find anything close with a FFP mildot in it for the price.
The only thing I did not like is that the tripod it comes with is crap, and you really see the difference in high end glass with this spotting scope at max magnification.

I think bushnell discontinued the mildot model last I heard. I was looking for one a couple weeks ago to no avail. It is the excursion FLP Tactical.
I even looked on fleabay and coudn't find one, so good luck. If you find a place that's got more than one please PM me.

Is this the new Bushnell? Are they shipping?
Bushnell Excursion - Mil Hash
I know from experience that Optics Planet will let you place an order and fail to tell you that they don't have the item in stock.

Here's my post on the "mildot" version:
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Rosie Palma</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I've got one with the mil-dot reticle. It's a good scope for the money. I see a slight distortion at the outer edge of view and I wish the eye relief were better. But, it does the job for the money. You'll need another tripod too, the bushy is just too flimsy. Had another person drop it on it's objective, bounced off the concrete and keeps on ticking...</div></div>
