I recently got the bug to start prarie dog hunting. My lefty Remington 700VSF in .22-250 will be here Monday - http://www.remington.com/firearms/left_hand/700vsflh.htm - and I already have the Harris bipod. Now, I also have a Bushnell Legend 5-15x40mm that was also purchased for this venture:

The guy who is taking me out to Colorado to try this shooting is a memeber of another shooting board that I frequent, and he highly recommended this scope. He has told me that he presently owns this exact model of Bushnell Legend, as well as a Leupold VXIII 6.5-20 (that ran him $800) which was purchased first. He says that had he bought the Bushnell first, he would have 2 of them instead because the value is so good.
With that in mind, how do you guys feel about Bushnell for long range (500+ yards) rifle optics? Specifically, if ant of you own a Legend, what are your thoughts on it? The only Bushnell product I own is a Yardage Scout laser range finder, and before that, it was a telescope that I got as a birthday gift in 4th grade.
Fill me in, fellas.
