Default Bushnell Elite 3200 or VX1 Leopold

I'm trying to decide on which one! Looked at both of them at Cabelas and sort of liked the 3200 over the VX1. Which of these 2 is the better scope? Zeak

I would take the 3200 without a doubt.

zeak, i just put a VX-1 on my new remington sps varmit rifle. its a 4x12x40 and is clear as i expected from leupold. i looked at the bushnell too but decided to go with the leupold. leupold reputation is what sold me. i think either one will do what you want it to do. good luck.

3200 hands down ..... easily the better choice

www.theopticzone.com compare the price before you buy...

I agree it pays to compare prices. SWFA has a number of the 3200 Elite scopes listed and you also get a coupon for a very nice jacket valued at $125 or so.

For the eye relief I would go with the Leupold, for the lenses the 3200. The 3200 in my opinion is the all around better scope. Like I said the only reason I would go with the VX1 is the eye relief. That being said I have VXII's and Vari X II's on most of my hunting rifles primarily due to the longer eye relief.

I had the 3200 3x9x40 on my muzzleloader shooting 150gr of pyrodex with no eye relief issues.Friends have the same scope on 7mmremmaga and a 338win mag with no eye relief issues.
