New Bushnell Elite 6500 4.5-30×50 Scopes Arrive
Jon Jackoviak of The Optic Zone reports that his first shipment of Bushnell Elite 6500 4.5-30×50 scopes has arrived. These come with a Fine Multi-X reticle and 1/4-MOA clicks, and are priced at $739.00. (A mildot reticle version may arrive in a few weeks.) Other dealers may be stocking this scope soon.
These scopes have been anxiously awaited, ever since they were announced at SHOT Show earlier this year. The 6.5x magnification range is the widest in the industry, and the scope’s 30mm main tube and side-focus parallax adjustment puts it in the running with Leupold’s 8-25×50 LRT. The new scope also features Bushnell’s patented, Rainguard® hydrophobic (water-repellant) lens coating. This coating prevents fogging by causing condensation to bead up into much smaller droplets.
The question mark remaining about the new Bushnell 6500 is the actual elevation range. The Optic Zone (and some other vendors) are claiming 80 MOA each of Windage and Elevation Adjustment, but the Bushnell website says there are only “50 inches” total Elevation on the 4.5-30×50. Right now we’re betting on Bushnell’s lower number, which is significantly less than the 75 MOA offered by the new Sightron 8-32×56, which we have confirmed.

Be careful this is a new product. The Leupold at 850.00 that you compare it to suffers from scope lash problems. Recoil knocks it out of focus every time you pull the trigger. Let someone test it first in a review you can trust. I see so many shooters who buy and then wish they would have saved and bought top of the line. Remember there is no 2nd shot on a Leupold LRT until you refocus. 850.00 to refocus every time you pull the trigger . Disgusted nobody told me. I hope this helps my fellow shooters spend there hard earned money.
The difference between this new and untested scope and others is that the manufacturer is allowing up to 1 yr for you to distinguish whether you like the scope or not. They have a “no questions asked” money back refund available from one year of purchase. That should calm any fears of the unknown.
I was thinking about buying the new elite 6500 4.5-30×50 and i was curious if the scope comes without the focus adjustment at the back of the scope cause i have a bushnell trophy right now and that focus adjuster always moves and i wanted a scope that is always in focus so i dont have to mess with it every time i go to shoot.
