[QUOTE="osok-1k, post: 2592649, member: 106259"] Years ago I bought a Bushnell E6500 2.5-16X42 for under $600 (wish I had bought the 50mm version). It has been my go to scope and have put it on several rifles for hunting. I've compared it to Tract Toric 3-15, Riton X7 4-32, Leupold VXIII 4.5-14 and others that I have but I don't find any real improvement in practical optical quality or low light usability. I can hunt until it ain't legal light with the Bushnell. I did actually read your parameters and hope to respond in kind with something that is useful. Sadly Bushnell no longer makes this scope and good used ones cost more than they should. You can spend money on features that don't mean much in the real world and unless you really train on those features, they only clutter your basic need to put a round on target when the brief moment arrives. As stated earlier, Euro-optic has some amazing deals on both Vortex and Trijicon. I just looked and they have Vortex Strike Eagle 4-24x50 for $299. and a PST 6-24x50 for $450. Pretty good scopes for the money and a great lifetime warranty. You don't have to have the latest and greatest to be very effective. [/QUOTE]
