Bushnell Elite 6500 4.5-30X 50

Anyone have this scope or have any info on it.  It sure has a nice power range on it.  Would almost eliminate the need to pack a spotting scope.  I wonder how clear it is on
30X. I've never used Bushnell products but am thinking this one might be worth a try.

I have been wondering the same thing, hopefully some of the other manufactures catch on to this.

Not that one, I have a Bushnell Elite 3200 5-15x40, and I was actually amazed at how clear it is.

not sure substituting a scope mounted to a rifle for a spotter would be a good safe choice...that would require pointing the rifle at whatever you wanted to look at, aside from the fact that scope is probably huge and you'd need a sherpa to pack your rifle for you.

I have a 6.5-20x50 Leupold on my 22-250 and have never shot anything with more than 6.5 power.  I have used it as a spotter before but I knew exactly what I was looking at.  I would rather carry both my spotter and my rifle.  It is much more comfortable to look all day through a spotter.

I can't imagine it being that useful as a spotter. 

I can say that the Elite scopes are very good.  The 4200 is an exceptionally good scope.  I haven't looked through a 6500 but I'm sure the optical quality is as good or better than the 4200.

I wouldn't use it as a spotter.  I carry good quality 8X42 bino's and my spotter on short hikes. Usually the only time I use my spotter is counting points on a buck.  I've been in situations where I spotted a buck and by the time I got the spotter set up I had lost him either in brush or fog.  Sure would be a lot easier just cranking that scope up to 30 power.

I just got this scope yesterday.  Haven't mounted it on the rifle yet but it is crystal clear and the zoom is crazy.  Has a side focus for the range you are shooting and a front focus adjustment.  Not sure how they differ.  Should be an awesome scope.
