My new Bushnell Elite Tactical 3.5-21x50 arrived today and I really like how compact and solidly built this scope is. Can't wait to get it mounted on my new 6.5 Creed and see how she does. Stay tunned...
I was wrong...on anything technical. Fitz............. is right, ya know............

I hope you bring it to the range on a day I am there, I'd like to test drive it. I'm thinking I need another scope, and this one is on the list.

I'vd had this scope for a couple of weeks now. I'm going to be putting it on my 260AI as soon as it's done. I can't believe how clear the picture is on this thing!!

I'm going to test optical clarity, tracking, and use of the reticle for pure holds. There will be a full write up.

BIL, I bought the 5 mil per rotation version (ET35215G) with the G2 (Christmas tree reticle). I have not been able to compare it to other scopes yet but initial gut feel is that it is close to the brightness of the Leupy VXIII. Seems like a great design but have yet to mount it and run it.

There will be a full write up. please don't take this the wrong way, but you doing a full review is a bit outdated....... what i mean is the are no less then 10 "full write ups reviews" bla bla bla, already out there.... sure you can test the scope. This optic has been proven in the field repeatedly, all its pro and cons are all over the web for everyone to see.

Ok. Then I will test it out, and keep all the notes to myself then decide if I want to keep it or not. It is not the exact same scope Fitz has by the way.

Or, I'll put the review on my website only. Since they are apparently everywhere.

JG, let me know when you are going to do your test/evaluation and you can use mine as well for a side by side comparison. I had gravitated away from Bushnell decades ago but they now seem to have a really good thing going. I recently picked up their 1-4x24 AR scope in FFP for a low end AR15 and I have to say it is quite impressive for a $225 optic.
