I am a fussy customer. The first 6500 I received was blurry above 25X. I sent it into customer service. When it was returned it was crystal clear all the way to 30X. When I turned it down it was blurry below 10X. I returned it for a full refund. After several months I ordered another, the one I have now. It is what the engineer had in mind: Crystal clear from 4 1/2 through 30 power. So far the only other rifle scope to be brighter or clearer than this 6500 was two Nightforces. Nothing else beats it. The z3's are not even close.
I don't understand keeping a scope, or anything for that matter, that does not do what I expect. That is not surprising. The z3 seems to be repackaged Kahles 1" American line they had few years back. Kahles is owned by Swarovski and we are now truly "blessed" to get Swarovski name for about 40% more in price. The Bushnell 6500 is descendant of legendary Baush & Lomb 'Elite' series. The "granddaddy" was legendary Balvar line. .... American classic gents.

I had heard Swaro and Kahles were sister companies, Swaro did CS for Kahles.
Then I heard they split into two different companies, Kahles for a while with no USA importer and no CS. Now, the Kahles I see listed are Alpha Euros in the $2K+ range. I miss the old 1" Kahles American hunting scopes.

I used to have a Bal-Var 8 on a .308 Norma Magnum back in the day. Alas someone stole it. Life goes on.

4 groups in an hour? How long have you been dead?
Tasco deserves a testimonial from someone w/ your credibilty.
Everyone knows that Swarovski optics detract from one's shooting capabilities.
thanks for the insight.

[quote=Ringman]Interesting of the half dozen Tasco World Class I purchased I sent one in for repair when my son-in-law fired some reloads I found in the barn. Several were fine and then one was WAY loud. The action was locked up and the scope was bent. It came back repaired and even had their newest lenses. No chance that you live by power line Or hate your son in law. Yes always go tasco it's far better

shrapnel, It is not for sale because it took four of them before I kept this one.

You're stupid.
