A generous objective lens and a magnification range suited to close- and medium-range shooting make the Bushnell 2.5-10x40 Elite 4500 Riflescope a solid choice for hunting. Ultra-wideband antireflective coatings and the 40mm front lens allow for optimal light transmission, which means bright, high-contrast images, even at lower-light times of day. Meanwhile, EXO Barrier lens coatings repel water and grime that would impede the sight picture. You get 80 MOA of elevation and windage adjustment, using capped turrets at 1/4 MOA per click, but you can also hold instead of dialing with the clean, easy-to-use Multi-X reticle in the second focal plane. Parallax correction is fixed from 100 yards to infinity. The 4.3" eye relief helps prevent injury from recoil, and the scope's body is IPX7 waterproof, so a little rain or snow is not a concern.
