If somebody likes the Bushnell Elite "as well as" the Leupold Vari-X II , then you'd think the Vari'X II would be the better buy. Considering the price they are asking for each of then, retail-wise, the Leupold
(especially in the gloss finish) is a greater value. But only IF they are of equal quality. I can speak only of the quality of the Leupold scopes, as I've never owned a high-end Bushnell. The Vari-X II Leupold's are a fine scope for the $$.
