RE: Bushnell Elite 4200
I was not a fan of glass in this price range, figuring for $300 +/- the quality and clarity would not be there. I have had scopes from other makers in that range that were more or less the pits, especially at very low light.
I bought a used ML with a 2008 Bushnell Elite 4200, "Fire Fly" and "Rain Guard" model. Because I was too lazy to swap the Elite 4200 scope with a Zeiss Conquest that I had doing nothing before ML days were upon me, I left it on the rifle. I am impressed and have no plans to take the scope off. The "Fire Fly" was not impressive, but the glass did fine well into "Dark:30". I took a nice 8 pt. right at last light ... no problem. The image of the buck was clean, clear and with very good detail. The only complaint I have is that the 4200 is relatively long and therefore fairly heavy. At $255, it's a steal.
