Re: Bushnell elite 4200 good starting scope? Vs 6500? I've got the Bushnell 4200 6-24x50 SFP, 30mm, SF MilDot tactical scope and while a bit 'up shy', you should be fine with a 20 MOA rail on it. Quality is pretty robust and the glass is probably a solid 8.5/10. There's a guy selling a used one here, for $525 shipped. More @Wikipedia
