Bauch & Lomb 6-24x40 VS. 8-32x40.
Yeah, I know! I ask, a lot, about scopes these days. [Roll Eyes]

The thing is:
I'm also going for a new scope on my 22-250. I was thinking of a B&L 4200, 6-24x40 AO as I know is a good scope for long range shooting. But then I saw in the catalog that there was a "new" one, the 8-32x40 AO!! (New to me, though!)
I have a lot of buddies that have 6-24's, and I have borrowed one from a friend for a while to, so I know what that is. [Smile]
But, I have not heard anything about the "new" one the 8-32.
Does anybody have anything, good or bad, to shear before I do my choice??

I have an OLD 6-24X40 B&L (1983 vintage) on my 22-250 and it is a great scope. I think you will find it much more versatile than the 8-32.

I like the B&L glass and presume the Bushnell Elites are as clear or clearer. I've always been a fan.

460wby,
I had a B&L 6x-24xX40 on my .22-250. It was a great scope. I became dissatisfied with it though and replaced it with a 6.5x-20xX50 Leupold. The 40mm objective lens didnot give enough light at powers over 18x. At 24x, even on the brightest day, the scope got pretty dark. Other than that, the B&L was an excellent scope. Good luck.

Since I'm thinking of using this rifle (22-250) for some beaverhunting, and foxhunting, then the light is almost dark, maybe I'm better of if I buy the B&L elite 4200 4-16x50AO then??

OR........, maybe a Burris Signature 6-24x44AO???

I have great difficulties making up my mind here!! [Confused] [Confused]

What do you guys recomend:
a Burris, or a Bauch & Lomb (Bushnell)??
I need a long range target scope, but also a scope thats proper for some bad-light hunting as well.

Please give me some advices???
