Default RE: Elite 4200 and 3200

bc, I have both and the 4200 is just better in optical performance it has not proven any better interms of function, durability or reliability IME. Now they(bushnell) do or did state it is tested for recoil at 10x that of the 3200 but having mounted both on rifles from varmit to the largest being a 300 wby mag, they never had a stitch of troubles. The only flaws is ER, weight, length of the elite series. So only you can deciede if they will suffice or not. In my case the ER never caused me any grief but the weight/length thing did. $289 for the 4200 2.5x10x40 is an awesome price and pretty hard to say nay to unless those flaws become to big to over look but the 4200 holds very well against the upper scopes you mentioned in terms of optic performance.

BTW I now have 2 Zeiss Conquests topping my 2 main hunting rifles (7mm rem mag and 50 cal inline)..love em in every regard.

Good Luck
