I currently have a 1-4x 24 scope that Im using that Im not 100 percent sure I like and dont even know if i want to waste ammo sighting it in{brand will remain unamed}. I have always had good luck with bushnell scopes so I was wondering if any one has used the 1-4 or 1-6 x24 power illuminated scopes that Bushnell is now offering. mainly I want to know how they are with both eyes open on 1x since niether is a true 1x scope , they are 1.75 and 1.5. also how is the daylight illumination? these are the links to the two scopes http://swfa.com/Bushnell-1-4x24-Trophy-XLT-30mm-Rifle-Scope-P48386.aspx http://swfa.com/Bushnell-15-6x42-Trophy-XLT-30mm-Rifle-Scope-P48385.aspx

If you are looking for a true 1x scope why not wait for the SWFA SS 1-6 x24 due out next month.Also you can get at least a $200 coupon if you order by 5/26/12.I'm sure that the glass will equal the Bushnell & the Illum reticle will be better.You can look up the scope on the OT.

If he is looking at the Trophy line I dare bet a $1000 scope will be out of his budget.

What is your price limit, maybe we can suggest some other options within it that you may want to look at.

I have never used either of the scopes you have listed but did have the Elite 4200 1.5-4. The scope was mounted on a LR-308 and worked well, could be used with both eyes open, but the illumination was not visible in bright sunlight. The only other issue that I had with the scope was that the eye relief changed quite a bit from 1 to 4.

PROBABLY 300.00 MAX , WHAT I THINK I REALLY LIKE IS THE BURRIS TAC30. ACTUALLY I LIKE THE RETICLE OF THE MILLETT BEST OUT OF ALL THE 1-4'S BUT IVE READ SO MANY THINGS ABOUT POOR QUALITY CONTROL I DONT THINK I WANT TO EVEN BOTHER. I DO LIKE THE FACT THAT THE BUSHNELL IS 1.5 TO 6 THOUGH AND I HAVE ALWAYS LIKED BUSHNELL SCOPES, THEY JUST SEEM TO WORK WELL WITH MY EYESIGHT.

Some Suggestions -
Used :
Of the used list the two leopolds, burris and the weaver will have the better glass, The millet and bushnell will follow. Only a couple are illuminated and not sure if thats a deal breaker for you. Never known of a daylight situation where illumination is required and even lowering light the reticles of those three will be visible without the illumination. Under the $300 mark the Burris and weaver stand out for me as top picks with my edge going to the Weaver
If you go new here are some others that haven't been mentioned:
This is a new scope, truthfully I'm not even sure its availible yet, that said Weaver has always done well for me so I'd feel good about trying one.
