Anyone got any of them??? Thinking of getting one of the 20-60 ones. Can get these in Australia easily.

I have a 20-60x80 Elite,The glass is super & the price is very reasonable.Before you buy look into it's limitations on eye pieces,other than that it's a good scope.

I have used the 20-60X80 Bushy and thought it was a good spotter, just huge.

I used to have a Bausch and Lomb (Now Bushnell) Elite 20-60X70 spotter.  It was a roof prism design similar to the Nikon XL series.  I believe Bushnell still produces it.  I remember it being pretty sharp, but dim at higher powers and touchy on eye relief and eye position.  It was extremely compact and pretty lightweight.  I could see myself getting another as a back up for the Vortex Razor HD.

Well not sure what I have it is 15-45 and says Bushnell on it. Thats it. I took the cover off of it, looked at the manual, the case and it says nothing but Bushnell. Thats odd.

I also have the 20-60x70, I believe there are better options now, but it has served me well.  I probably wouldn't choose it now, but at the time it was good choice.
