Re: Favorite non-tactical hunting scope
I have been really happy with the Bushnell Elite 6500 2.5-16X scopes.
So much so that I have three of them on my hunting rifles. The glass is very bright and clear. They seem to be pretty rugged. But the big thing I like is the wide magnification range.
I hunt on 4X...but if I am in close in area I turn it down to 2.5X.
I have had a couple of times where if I did not have the 16X I would not have taken the shot.
It is also nice to have the extra mag. for static hunting like on ground squirrels,etc.
Also for the quality of glass, warranty,etc., the price is very good IMHO at $550.00 for the fine-plex model.
Take care,Stan
