Bushnell Elite 6500 M-Fine 2.5-16x 42mm

Picked this up a few weeks ago but finally got it mounted on my .270 today. I already have the same scope on my .223, and it is a major upgrade from the Simmons Whitetail that was on the gun.

This and its 4.5-30x50 sister are great scopes. The optics are clear, they hold zero perfectly, the focus even at full magnification is perfect....etc. Just some really great pieces, which is why I bought another one to go on the .270, which is my deer gun.

This is the reticle:

Nice and simple for a hunting scope with no graduations. Far less "busy" than the one I have on the .338LM.

I keep seeing great reports on the Bushnell Elite series scopes on precision shooting forums.

OK, pics! (sorry for the delay):

1. Old scope (Simmons White Tail). This pic was taken in my buddy's dad's basement so don't mind the back-drop, LOL!
