I already own 2 Leupold scopes and I think they're great.  I'm looking at buying a new rifle and have heard and read a lot about the new Bushnell scopes and was wondering if anyone here had any of the 4200 or 6500 models and how well they hold up and how clear they are even at high power.

The 6500 series looks quite different, but time testing will tell for me.  I don't plan on being the first victim!

The only Bushnells I have are the "Elite" series.  One is a rangefinder - works great.  The other is the Bushnell Elite 3200 that sits atop my slug gun.  After many rounds of 12 ga. slug ammo, it still holds zero just fine.  The one thing I do not like about it is its fast focus eyepiece.  It simply doesn't lock down to suit me and using Butler Creek Flip-open scope caps becomes difficult.  Decent scope for the money.

I can't speak to the 4200 or the new 6500 models though.
