Bushnell Elite 6500

[USMC8531]

Personally I'd be hesitant to put a 20-30MOA base on a scope with only 50MOA of elevation built into it. Depending on how much adjusting it took to get zeroed, you might have a hard time getting the crosshairs to the bullet at closer ranges.

If one was just shooting at extended ranges though, it would be no problem.

With a 20MOA base, I could easily zero at 100 yards. And still adjust to beyond 1200 yards.

But how is the optic on past 20x zoom?

Good enough to use as a spotting scope, but the reticle gets jumpy if I'm not on a rock steady rest.

Most field positions I like to dial back down to about 15x if possible.

What power are they set up to range with the reticle at? (4.5-30)
