Yes Mr. Thread Hijacker, actually I have several. They are fantastic toys. I took them to the range and let a customer of mine shoot them and he had a blast. Of course I took the modded ones, but even out of the box they shoot great.

Hmm, the right Bushnell on the right gun. I have a Remington 710 300 Win Mag with OEM scope (bushnell) and have put 60-70 rounds through it and so good so far. But my B-in-L put had to barrow a scope from his Dad after a "friend" set another gun on top of his in the back of a vehicle and damaged it. The Bushnell still shoots strait but the cross hairs started rotating after about 10 shots. It is dead on but spins with ever shot.

You'll get over it. You should see what I put my Steyr Mannlicher through.

I have a Burris on a 300 WSM and love it. It is 3.5-10x50, I like that 50 mm because it gives alot more light to ad in the dusk hours. If you really want a good scope expect to pay more for the scope then the gun. I got mine for $350 I think, it was an end of model special in midway (www.midwayusa.com/). You can't shoot what you can't see.
