Q:

Bushnell 4.5-30×50 Elite 6500 30mm Rifle Scope

Anyone have it? I just need to know what the parallax setting is and how much MOA it can bang out..

Leupold just does not have enough MOA for me for long range shooting with an airgun.

sorry – dont know squat about the scope. High end optics (including just about any Leupold) are pricey, no way around it. That said, I came up with a combination of laser plus geometry that solves elevation in my gun from zero to 50 yards. 2 advantages to this – its cheap and It is very very quick. No rangefinder, no balistic chart to memorize. Maybe something like that would work for you, or not. I posted a description and the chairgun chart showing how it works 5/17. Past 50 yards you are into range estimation and hold over.

The other thing you might look at is a long range scope mount. These factor in elevation – basically tilt the scope down a bit so that you get more use out of the adjustment range built into your scope.

If you have not already got it – check out chair gun – free software from Hawke. Its a really nice pellet gun balistic program.

I am looking at this model:

http://swfa.com/Bushnell-45-30×50-Elite-6500-30mm-Rifle-Scope-P13141.aspx

Looks really nice. Don’t get me wrong I love my Leupold.. But I do need more MOA and a Mil Dot ret. Trying to hunt with my Leupold sighted in @ 20 yards and engaging targets past 50 yards becomes crazy. High end Leupolds with mil dots etc.. are over 1k. Do not have that much to spend on a scope.. even though my rifle is 1400 :X

I emailed SWFA so hopefully I’ll know soon then Leupold will be up for sale!

Just figured I’d check here.

This Ad states 25 yards for the mil-dot model : http://www.cgwgun.com/Rifle-Scopes/Bushnell-Elite-6500-RifleScope__BSN-654305MD.aspx Should be fine for ‘long range air rifle’?

I’ve been researching this scope as well. This is from Optics Planet – 80 MOA adjustment per them:

Bushnell Elite 6500 4.5-30×50 Zoom Riflescopes are the world’s most versatile rifle scopes, featuring a 6.5x magnification range, the widest in the industry. These scopes by Bushnell are ideal for hunters who want a quality rifle scope they can use in the brush as well as on the wide-open prairie, from Georgia pine forests to the high peaks of the Rockies. The push/pull turrets of this Bushnell Elite 6500 Riflescopes feature a resettable zero, making sighting-in easier than ever. The extended 80-MOA of windage and elevation adjustment travel (with .25-MOA clicks) make this Bushnell scope a “must have” for the hunter who shoots a broad range of game and at distances that vary greatly.

Bushnell 2.5-16x42mm Elite 6500 Riflescope by Bushnell features a one-piece 30 mm tube to deliver plenty of light for those perfect shots right before legal shooting ends, and 4 inches of eye relief. An ultra fine Multi-X (65-4305M) or Mil-Dot (65-4305MD) reticle on this Bushnell Riflescope accommodates any shooter. These riflescopes are the flagship scopes of the Bushnell Elite line, with the highest resolution and widest field of view, as well as fully multicoated optics with Rain-Guard, ensuring a consistently sharp, clear view even in the worst conditions.

The new Bushnell DOA 600 reticle dramatically stretches your effective range and lets you judge a buck’s trophy quality in record time. Extended yardage aiming points enable you to shoot with lethal precision out to 600 yards with a rifle (DOA 600). This reticle from Bushnell has Rack Bracket reference lines for sizing up whitetail and mule deer antlers. It all adds up to a whole new level of drop-dead certainty and fewer excuses at the moment of truth.
