Bushnell 3200 Elite

Does anyone have any experience with the 3200 in the 2-7X32? Im looking at it for my Browning BLR 243. I'll be getting a good deal on the scope. It will be the scope for all around hunting for the next few year until I can afford to pay for a Leupold VXIII in 1.75-6X33.

Any help would be appreciated
Thanks in advance

The Bushnell 3200 2X7 has a glued on partial saddle and poor eye relief.

Take a look at this, and understand that it is also made by Bushnell to Browning specs using 4200 quality glass and a full, integral saddle.
It also has very good eye relief.

Bottom line. Get this instead and a Leupold won't be necessary later! Check out the price too.

I have a 3200 in 3x9 on my rainny day rifle a 700 7 rem mag lss..It has survived 4 years in the back of the truck & a 26 foot fall out of a deer stand without loosing point of aim. It's not che sharpest scope in the world but is certainly adequate for deer hunting & rain gard actually works. With that said midsouth is closing nikon monarch 2x7's for $202 which is a really good deal.

I have one of these and two Leupold of the same size. I like the less critical eye relief of the Leupold and the VX1 is about the same price as the Bushnell. I haven't tested the Rainguard feature, but the Bushnell is on my rain gun.

Nikon. Good buy. Good scope.
