Bushnell Scopechief Scope VI Wide Angle 3X9 - ODD BABY

[usabaker]

I pickup a used rifle, and on it was mounted an odd scope. While Bushnell is a well-known company, and I have many of their older scopes, I never ran across one like this.

When I first looked through the scope, I didn't know what to make of the box at the top of the objective lens or the extra horizontal reticle line. It wasn't until I looked through the scope in the daylight that I saw the "box" had a yardage number in it; as I turned the power ring, the numbers changed. I've never seen anything like this.

Looking on the internet, it looks as though this was a "range finder" How to use it or calibrate it remains a mystery to me at this point as I continue to look for a manual.

With the depth and width of experienced and knowledgeable people on this Forum, I figure y'all would know something about this oddity.

The rifle, a Mossberg Patriot in 270 Win is just a project rifle that I don't intend to keep after I'm done and I was going to replace the scope, but it's kind of neat, and just might see if it holds zero.
