Bobby TomekJules, you were right...
...about the Elite 3200 scopes. I gave mine (3-9x40) that I got from Jeff (jsh) a good workout, including some very late evening comparisons. It is certainly ahead of the Leupold VX-1 and older Vari-IIs and pretty close to the Monarch in terms of light transmission. It's not quite a Monarch but not far behind, either.
I had mounted it on my 7mm Bullberry carbine and got precise repetition and very good target acquisition/resolution. I may just have to get another someday, and this will be with the fast-focus eyepiece, a feature that has to make the 3200 even better.
Thanks for turning me on to this scope, Jules. I am impressed by what I have seen so far...
Glad to hear that Bobby! Those Texas hogs are gonna be in big trouble now. What did you put on anyway?
BTW you better show the guy's a pic of some of those hog's. I think you have a honest brag'n right on that biggu'n!

Bobby TomekJeff-
I think I am going to leave it on the 7mm Bullberry Contender carbine. It looks nice on there, and the last group I fired with it went 0.920" for 3 shots at 200 yards.
I may indeed try it on hogs, though I really like the 6.5x55 or 6.5-06 for such. But I am itching to bag something else with the Bullberry since I've put this scope on it.
I may try to post that picture tonight. The webhost (imagestation.com) I used wasn't working the last few times I tried it. Who are you guys using?
Your welcome Bobby. I'm just glad that someone on here will profit from my words. I guess i'm kinda like Mike in a way. I tell it like it is from my own experience. Good or bad. Always glad to help out when I can.
