I bought the Elite 6500, 2.5x16x42, on Saturday. Scope was NIB from a local store. At the time, I wasn't aware it was a discontinued model, but the price was very good so I bought it. I got it mounted on my rifle and went to the range on Sunday to get it dialed in. Needless to say, I'm not to impressed with the scope. I have two cheap Bushnell's, the X-treme models, and the glass is very clear. Not so much on the 6500. Seems no matter what I do, I can't get the scope to clear up. Seems everything is just a little hazy looking. After returning from the range, I sent Bushnell an e-mail and told them about the issues but as of today, I have got no response.
