Default RE: Scope: Bushnell 3200 or Nickon Pro Staff

ORIGINAL: vans

I have a 2x7 Bushnell Elite with firefly on my shotgun, probably about 5 years old, I've had no problems and it seems like a nice scope.

I just installed new scope on my Knight, went looking for the same scopes you mention, left with a T/C scope, heck I didn't even know they made scopes, anyway I spent 150.00 on a 3x9, what sold me was the eye relief, may be worth checking out
Eye Relief----Bushnells don't have very much eye relief, a bit over 3" as I recall, maybe 3.5", not a lot---that is the only down side to them that I have found---however I am not shooting hot loads of 150g. My brother has a Bushnell 3200 on his Encore and he shoots 150g loads with no problem, but I know my son put a Leoupold 4x12x50 on his 300 Remington Mag becuase of the eye relief, he did NOT go with the Bushnell because of the eye relief. The Leoupolds are much more expensive, but they are a quality product. Chap
