baush&lomb produces three lines of scopes,boush&lomb-bushnell-banner.banner being the bottom of the line scope.even though its there bottom line its still produced by boush&lomb but your mony might be better spent if you save a little longer and go for something higher up there line.the elite 3200&4200 series scopes are top quality and still at a reasonable price.just my 2 cents.
