RE: bushnell vs leupold
No matter HOW GOOD bushnells get,I'll never have anything with bushnell name on it again. This after fighting with customer service/warranty several times without satisfaction 1 time! However,from everything I hear,and customers,the elite series are good. That being said,the leupold vx3/vari-x3 are darn good proven scopes. If you're going to pay that kind of money,check out zeiss conquest line.
