Rifle Scopes Weaver Tactical or Bushnell 6500

[tacgnut]

Looking to buy a new 4-20ish power tactical scope and came across both of these scopes.
Anyone have experience with either of them? and are they worth what they are asking for them?

Thanks in advance

I have the 6500 elite 4.5-30. I like it, but just got a NF so I am selling it. I didn't have any issues and was very suprised at how good the customer service was from Bushnell. I had a 4200 that kept fogging up. I called and they upgraded me to a 6500 for cost. I was very pleased.

I have a 2.5x16 6500 and really like it alot. The only thing i noticed is that at 16 power i need to be in the right spot for the full view. I think if i would have had to pay full price for it i would have saved a little more and went with a Zeiss Conquest for my varmint rifle. Check them out if you have'nt, they are very nice. The tubes are 1 inch on them if that matters.

I have the 4-16 weaver... Obviously not as nice as my NF but good for the price. The glass and reticle are great. The turrets are okay. It is built sturdy. I'd recommend it if you can't get up to the luepy mark iv price range.

I have a 5-15x50 3200 that I have used to fire out to 300 yards and I love it. I'm sure the 6500 is damn fine.
