Anyone seen one of these yet? With the claimed eye relief, it might be just the ticket for a big bore DGR.

Do you mean Bushnell?

Don't have this particle scope. But I like the bushnell scopes a lot. I own many of the 3200s and 4200s. Only problem with them I have found is eye relief is a bit lacking. As long as the eye relief is better on the 6500 as they claim I would say go for it. I have never had an problems with the 3200s or 4200s and have subjected them to lots of recoil.

Thanks. I talked to a rep from Bushnell, he says the claimed 6" eye relief is for real.. Only a duplex reticle for now, but likely other choices after the first of the year. I am thinking one of these with a German #4 could be sweet. I still haven't seen the scope yet.

I have three of the 2.5-16x42 Bushnell 6500's, and so far they have been great. From prairie dogs to deer hunting, I have enjoyed the optical quality, smoothness of operation, and reliability.
The 1.25-8 is very interesting...
