Dave, for the money the Bushnell 3200 is rock solid. That being said I have seen a couple of the newer Burris FFII recently and think they are equally a good choice. Being these 2 have fast eye focus reticle, fully multicoated, click adjustments and 1 piece tube construction I would put them as the front runners on your list. The burris has a variable eye relief of 3.1-3.8" while the Elite 3200 is fixed at 3" (in the 3x9x40 models). Both offer shock, water and fog proof lens - although I believe the raingaurd system bushnell uses might be a bit better for fogging than the burris. However it can be combated by using the flip up scope covers on any scope and this also offers additional protection to the exposed lens surfaces-something I suggest anybody invest in when putting a scope on a hunting rifle.


You never mentioned what rifle you would be topping the new scope with but if a moderate recoiler than 3" or higher should be adequate for eye relief. However if a big boomer than you might need or want more, so that might play a part in your decision process as well.

Good Luck
