Bushnell Scopechief

[Washita]

I have a Bushnell Scopechief 6-20 X 40 AOin perfect condition that I'm considering for smallbore silhouette. Currently the scope has a fine crosshair reticle with a tiny Lee dot--maybe 1/8", probably for target work -- that is too small for these old eyes. I'm considering sending the scope off to Lee to get a 1/2 or 5/8 MOA dot installed. But before I spend the $$, I'd like to know a little more about the scope's tracking. This was never a major point for target work, but obviously it is for MS. What do you think? Should I send it off to Lee, or sell it & get something else, maybe a Weaver V16. Money is definitely an object! BTW -- anybody know how big the V16 dot is?

I should add, BTW, that this is the old Scopechief that was top of the Bushnell line when it was discontinued in favor of the Elite series a few years ago, not the cheaper mid-range series of the same name that was more recently introduced.

I have had a 6-20 Scopechief on a couple of varmint rifles and it tracked okay for that purpose, I have never tried actually shooting a square with one in order to verify just how accurately they track. With that said - if you should decide to go to a different scope I would be interested in purchasing your Scopechief (dependent on price and condition, of course), I have another varmint rifle that could use one.
