Based On the recommendations of you guys, I went ahead and purchased the optic. I have to say, the presentation is almost Nightforce level. The optic itself is really nice. The glass quality is excellent and clarity is as good as my higher end optics. The reticle is simple, but in the sweet spot for what a 1-6.5 should have. I could go on and on. This thing is a total bargain at $579 out the door. I like it more than my viper and as much as Razor gen 2

If they were daylight bright, they'd be absolutely perfect. Alas, they are not.

I had always associate Bushnell with cheap scopes.
I have an AR Optics 1-4 LPVO, and it's.......not great. But I was recently turned onto some of their higher end stuff and believe they're some of the best values for the money. I bought an LRTS 4.5-18 and was blown away with the glass quality for the price. Great turrets and features. I even dig the G3 reticle. I'm now fighting the urge to not pickup an XRS II from midway right now. I'm a fan. ETA: Where did you get an Elite Pro for that price? I may pick one up now too. |

Bushnell Elite was Bausch and Lomb.
My first good scope was a B+L 4200 Elite. Exceptional glass. |

I always tend to put it on my primary hunting gun because the glass is great and the light transmision is up with top brands sold today at 3X the price. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: It had the BDC reticle. The card with the reticle is double sided Do you have a scale you can weigh the scope on? I'm curious if it is really 5 ounces heavier than the FDE/capped turret version. That's the only thing that's stopped me from grabbing one (I have one of the FDE/capped turret versions but I got it for $600, EuroOptic has it for $1k now) |

I love mine, it’s probably my nicest optic.
I was a little disappointed in the brightness in daylight, but it’s on 6.8 that is predominantly a hunting rifle, and low light is when I really appreciate the illumination. Smoking deal, and I can’t believe they didn’t all sell already. Edit: mine is actually the Bushnell Elite Tactical II Pro SMRS 1-6.5x24 FDE Illuminated Riflescope w/ Throw Lever, which was $650 when I purchased, now it’s at $1000. |

I will probably forget, but I will try. I don’t know the exact weight, but I know it certainly feels lighter than the Viper and Razor. The FDE version says 17 ounces and that is awesome. This one is certainly heavier than that by a lot |

Was the box you received labeled pro? Quoted: I love mine, it’s probably my nicest optic.

This is what I thought OP got for 579...i knew the price jumped on them, they used to be much closer to what you paid. |

I also thought the eyebox at 1x on a PA platinum 1-8x I had was better than the g2 1-6. |

They're awesome scopes at that price point. I paid 500 for the capped version. Unfortunately last time I slummed the europtics sale section they'd raised the price to 900 so I guess the salad days are over. The illumination is a non issue. The etched reticle works great outdoors and the dot is plenty bright for any indoor conditions I've tried it under. I use mine on a lightweight 20" and its perfect.

These are at europtic for $569. I just picked one up, shipped to me in 2 days. Waiting for the mount, but looks and feels like a great scope.

I bought a used gun from Bud's years ago and it had an Elite 6500 on it. Great scope!
