I was referring to the new ones, but either one really.

There are a few reviews on YouTube of the new ones, but very few. I have a 2.5-10 I ordered from Bushnell on Monday night. If they are as good or better than my old Elite 3200’s. I’ll be happy.

srwshooter,

Good morning, sir. I hope you enjoy next year.

You mentioned you have some 6500s. Have you ever compared the 2 1/2-16X with a 4 1/2-30X on an optics chart?
What did you notice?

So, I got my new Bushnell Elite 4500 2.5-10x40 yesterday. Had I not ordered straight from Bushnell, I would not have bought one. I’m not overly impressed with it. I’m waiting on my mounts, but once it’s mounted I’ll take it to the range and see if my mind changes any about it.

I have the 40 and 50 mm, not selling any of them. I think that mine are the 4200's.

I have had the 2-16 and 4-32? They work well for hunting, get them on a deal, you will be satisfied. Deer hunting...Schitt, you do not need crystal clear optics unless you are OCD to kill stuff.

IN Kansas, we needed to see if tines had been broken off from the bucks fighting...low powered schitt did not cut the mustard at all! Retards abound!
