[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 121383, member: 8947"] I have an early production side focus 6X24. The mechanicals are identical to the AO version. Sorry, I can only get 26 to 30min of elevation change, not the 40 I was hoping for. Maybe more early production ooops. The side focus does work and is quite accurate re: yardage markings. It looks like the same scope chassis as the 2.5X10 with the 6X24 eyepiece and a side focus knob. Very compact, a bit heavy but works great on a short action Savage. The view in the scope is pretty much the same as the mildot AO scope. Now the bad news. Optics are clear but there is some serious distortion when you pan, especially at low mag. This is not present in the AO version and I really hope just an early production oops. This scope is going back for a once over after hunting season. If you hold the scope still, the image is just fine but follow something and yikes, feel like you have had a few too many. I haven't had time to really test the mechanicals but it seems to be holding zero and adjusts reliably the few times I practised with it. If the optics can be fixed, this is a winner for sure. A great LR scope. They also now have a 3X9 with is 12 or 13oz with a duplex reticle. Doubt it has target turrents but would make a great reg. hunting rifle. If only Bushnell would get more elevation into their scopes or better yet, build a 30mm mildot tactical featured scope. Sort of their 3200 10X with 4200 optics - variable or a fixed 16X.
