I'm looking for feedback on this pistol scope. Bushnell Elite 3500 2-6x32 scope.

I have the Bushnell elite but prefer my Burris. The Burris has a much bigger field of view. I have Burris scopes on 375 JDJ, 30-30, and 45-70 barrels with no issues. I have fired hundreds of rounds through each. I would compare the details of each scope side by side and compare. The only reason I have the Bushnell is that is all that would fit on my SSK barrel with full rib.

Excellent scopes, the old Bausch & Lomb line.

I have the Elite, excellent scope. I also have the Trophy, which I slightly prefer because it seems too have "heavier" crosshairs. This is purely due to aging eyes.

This is a short review I did of that scope on my CVA Scout.
The pictures in the review are terrible, but they are also on the bragging board, in the correct size format and in better quality. I like the Elite. I favor the constant eye relief from 2-6x that it's competition didn't have.

Good scopes, I have several on heavy recoiling single shots and revolvers, no problems.

Randy Smith, who worked for FA as a field tester in the early development stages of the .454,, killed all kinds of big game with the FA .454 using that scope (it was Bausch and Lomb at the time) and he recommended it to me.

Have an Elite on a .500 S&W. Hundreds of rounds through it. No problems.
