Dude - that sounds like too much - check Natchez and other closeouts, and the sample list at SWFA and ebay and other auction sites. I have that exact scope except without the mildot reticle, and I don't think I paid over $400 for it, IIRC. Are you sure you don't mean the x50mm?
But yes, I have let's see - three 4200s, one 6500, one 3200, about four Banners, one Trophy, one Legend, and a Sportsman red dot. So yes, I obviously think that generally they give good value. The only one I'm disappointed in is the Legend - excellent optical quality, but doesn't track worth a crap - maybe it's just broken or I'm smokin weed, or the rifle it's on was jacked up. But I had a rough range trip with the Legend awhile back.
The 6500 rocks - love it. I have it in the 2.5-16x50 version.
Word on the street though is that the 4-30x versions of the 6500 are NOT good - not very clear for some reason.
