Product Description
The Elite 4.5-30x50mm magnum-powered magnification range with the drop-dead precision of our DOA reticle. Experience the full power of Elite engineering. The single most powerful riflescope on earth. In range of magnification, light transmission and all-weather clarity, the new Elite 6500 reigns supreme over every other. The 2.5-16x and 4.5-30x magnification options give you unmatched versatility-from jump shooting big game to the longest shots at the smallest targets, no scope has this kind of range. And for 2009, we've added a 2.5-8x32mm model optimized for African safari and other applications best met with a compact riflescope. Super-premium fully multi-coated lenses transmit the brightest, sharpest images possible. Our patented Rainguard HD coating gives you deadly clarity in foul weather like no other technology available today. All this performance is then wrapped in a one-piece 30mm tube tested impervious to severe impact. Rainguard® Bushnell’s permanent, patented, hydrophobic (water-repellant) lens coating prevents fogging by causing condensation from rain, sleet, snow or even your own breath to bead up into much smaller droplets than on standard coatings. Smaller droplets scatter less light which results in a clearer, brighter view. Now the hunter won’t miss the shot of a lifetime because of rain or accidentally breathing on his eyepiece.
