Bushnell makes very good scopes for the $. I have an elite 3200 4x12 on my .300 win mag and it has worked very well with not adverse issues at all. I think that I got mine for around $270 about two years ago. For what it is worth, I have a Bushnell banner 1.5x4.5 on my Marlin 30-30 as well and it has worked very well as well. I would venture to say that most people that buy and use elite series Bushnells end up liking them very much.
